i’ve always been obsessed with combining colors. i enjoy mixing odd pairs, bright with subdued, jewel with neutral and so on. inspiration for color combos can be found virtually everywhere –  wrapping paper, fabrics, gardens, toys, magazines, groceries, cosmetics, museums, – and especially your own closet.
i used to paint one room in my bedroom a different color each season (yes – four times a year) and then change various accessories, throw pillows and the like. i wanted my room to reflect my mood. often my need to change came by seeing something that sparked an interest in a new color combination.
whether styling an outfit with your existing merchandise, determining unique color combos for your displays, or simply deciding on a color scheme for your store (logo, etc) – color is a very important and malleable trait.
because i’m so in love with color – i’m going to begin doing monthly posts about a scheme i dream up or that gets me excited.
so here’s my color palette for August:Â chocolate, pumpkin, magenta, light mustard, graphite.
lovely things shown include:

this palette reminds me of candy, though it was inspired by the richness of impending fall and the aura of back-to-school shopping sweetness. these colors translate beautifully in a room, a shop – and especially an outfit!
what do you think? what color combos are you into right now?
