A colorful Casual Winter Outfit

If you are like me, then Winter Wear is probably the most challenging season to dress colorfully while staying true to your own style.  Wearing clothing that isn’t always, black, grey or any other popular dark shade sold in Winter can sometimes seem complicated. Let’s not even mention all the layers that keeps our fingers, neck, head and toes warm all the while looking good and feeling great can seem overwhelming and a mouthful!

Let alone wanting to look good without freezing or getting lost in what might feel like thousands layers of clothing, boots, gloves, hat, socks or tights.

But why should you care about wearing color?

Color has the power to boost your mood. I wrote about each color here.

So feeling inspired to wear brighter colors this winter, here is one color combo that is wonderful together…

A Feel Good, Look Good Minimalist Wardrobe

 

 

About a month ago I had an interesting conversation.

It was fashion revolution week and I was looking for new reading/listening material that would inspire me for future blog posts.  I happened to find a lot of books that talked about the high cost of fashion, fast fashion and what really goes on behind the scenes. My brother who is living a minimalist lifestyle, which includes his limited wardrobe (do I really need 10 t-shirts when I can only wear 2?).  After all, we know that very creative entrepreneurs, hum hum, Mark Zuckerberg and the late Steve Jobs kept wearing the same basic outfit (basic t-shirt or turtleneck with jeans).  During our conversation, my brother mentioned that he had read that the fashion industry was one of the most polluted industries.

YIKES !

Being that I like to think that I am very eco-conscious, I recycle like crazy, try to eat clean food, try to shop more locally, I donate to Greenpeace efforts and support other environmentally friendly ways of living, this notion was nevertheless a little shocking.

I thought okay, how can someone that loves fashion adapt it’s closet to a more minimalist way of living without losing it’s colorful style?

In other words: « How can I apply this perspective to fashion without losing the fashion??? »

It may sound contradictory yet I had an Ah ha! moment that finds a way to combine both in a simple way.
