Shannon started an interesting thread yesterday about not being inspired by particular colours. I was in complete agreement with everything she wrote, right down to her colour preferences. For myself, I feel so very drab when I wear brown. I'm super pale and have brown hair and brown eyes, perhaps that explains it. Or it could be an emotional reaction to the colour itself.

I have a friend who recently gave a few pieces of clothing to me, because she too has the same problem. No love for brown, and that was the common theme with all these great clothes. I hadn't worn any of them yet and I was inspired to give it a try thanks to Shannon's post. She gave me this amazing unworn Smythe blazer, it's impeccably made. It's a chocolate brown which I wear so rarely I didn't even know what to pair it with. Almost everything in my closet is a cool or pure shade.

So I went kind of matchy-matchy which is unlike me. Rag & Bone brown boots, which I rarely wear but really like. And a brown bag which I use quite often. The blue scarf made the outfit feel a little more like me, though I'm not one who necessarily gravitates to scarves at all. I wore a green Helmut Lang shirt. I'm not sure if this worked given the asymmetrical shape or the colour.

I am so happy that I'm branching out into different options and utilizing more of my wardrobe since discovering YFL. Thanks for the inspiration Shannon! And thanks for taking a peek, any feedback is more than welcome.
