The Colors of the Clothes in my Closet

...are boring, at a glance.

Classic. Classy. Potentially boring at times.

They are mostly in shades of black, grey, nude/camel, brown, deep red, military green and navy blue.

Crazy colors!

All the sunshiney, happy colors are missing. For one, I dislike the color purple. I mean, yeah, I do like neutrals and they're easy to pull off without much thought but lately I've been craving for some color, especially the retro carefree colors of the 70's. I'm also drawn to the the free spirit of the bohemian era, with flowy long maxi's and headbands. This is a bad picture but you get the point.

Yeah I know, bad picture

After thinking about it for a little while more, the colors of clothes in my closet, at different times, mirror my then-character very closely. 5 years ago my closet was filled with mostly random, useless articles that I seem to have bought in my sleep– I was 17 and careless. 3 years ago I started to wear more basics and neutrals –I liked the simple sophistication and ease of wearing them. Now, I like to incorporate different pieces and textures, colors that when combined still look serious enough yet a tad playful –I’m letting my hair down at age 23.

At the end of the day, I like versatility so sure, there will be days I'd wanna to stick to my boring neutrals and pastels since I feel at home in them. Then there'll be days you'll catch me in bizarre colors and queer get-ups. Nothing too strange or Lady Gaga-esque I'm afraid :) I'm not so much looking to suddenly turn my wardrobe inside out, it's just that I'd like some color and playful choices in it too.
