color war

1.  My favorite color is   yellow! While most little girls favorite color is either pink or purple, mine was yellow. It was my wedding color and is my favorite color to wear. Yellow makes me happy!


2.   My home decor color palette includes  various shades of green, carmel, cream and a bit of aqua here and there. All in all, my home decor is a combination of land meets the beach -- earthy and neutral aka traditional. As much as I love yellow, I tend not to decorate with it. Our downstairs bathroom is my favorite room in the house... probably because it's the only room that's yellow!

3.  Other people always tell me I look good in   bright colors.


4. The color I detest   for home decor is hot pink. It always looks tacky and immature and gives the college dorm vibe. As does animal print. Unless done minimally (in a few accent pieces), it just looks cheap cheap cheap!

5. If you were to look in my closet most of the colors you'd see would be   white, cream or tan. As much as I wear color, I apparently own a lot of light neutrals.


6. A color that I simply cannot pull off no matter how hard I try is   heather gray! Totally washes me out and makes me look like I have the flu.

7.  The color of my favorite dress is   orange and khaki. I have only worn this dress once, Easter 2011, and I've been dying for an appropriate occasion to wear it to again! Maybe I should stop waiting for the right moment and wear it out to dinner one night. God, I love this dress...

I agree with the comment above - no need for a special occasion! It look gorgeous on you, wear it out to dinner one night!

love your dress. i got it in pink and navy but i didnt see it in your colors. im jealous!!!

Lindsey said...

Your fave dress is sooooo cute! I love it. Where from? And umm, hot pink decor is def not ok. Unless you're a 10 year old girl or younger. That is the only way it is inaprope. I don't wear yellow or orange because I'm so pale. In college, 2 of my roomies were obsessed with yellow and then my other roomie and I loved pink. It worked out nicely. You'll be relieved to know my room has zero pink in it.

That dress is adorable! My favorite color is yellow too :) I don't wear it that often though because I think it's hard to pull off... I need a super tan first!

Love the dress! I'm not a huge fan of yellow even though I did have my last house main room painted a pale yellow. :)

so i totally remember your easter post last year being one of the very first i EVER saw. and i so remember LOVING that dress and thinking how gorgeous you were....and then i developed my girl crush and the rest is history haha. hope you are doing well lady. :-)

♥Jess said...

Umm HELLO, I love that dress! Why has it been ONE year since you've worn it. I think it's time to FIND SOMEWHERE to wear it... ASAP!


I agree with pink. As much as I love pink, I'm not fond of hot pink as a color choice in a house {unless it's for the kiddos}.

I'm a lover of animal print. But you are just, it has to be tastefully added - not too much.

Love your dress in the last picture! It's so cute! It looks casual enough that you could wear it out to dinner or something! If I owned that dress it would have gotten a lot more wear! I love the bow in the front of it too!

I love that dress! I also love the bright pink dress you are wearing and I love your hair color in that pic! I actually creepily stalked your blog last week searching for good hair pics because I love your color! Would you mind if I printed this pic and took it to my hair guy? I have an appt this Wednesday and your golden blonde with the darker shade underneath is exactly what I want:) Have a great week!
