This was the year I decided to make the change, the plunge, the difference. Little by little, I’ve been updating my rather dull, “all black” wardrobe and infusing it with some color. My fellow professors love to tease me when they see me in something other than black. In fact, the other day I wore a hot pink dress with black tights and boots and they all said: “Wow! Nice color!” It’s been a running joke that my wardrobe consists of lots of black, and then some more black.
The inspiration for me has come for two main reasons: (1) I am getting older, and wearing black all the time can be a little depressing, and (2) Boden’s catalogue has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and add some zing—pops of color, new styles, and even some tweed.
While it hasn’t exactly been the easiest transition for me (I still reach for all black when I want to feel most comfortable), I am embracing all the colors of the rainbow. I’m enjoying the experimentation, having fun with this new vibrancy in my wardrobe, and actually, if I’m to be totally honest, feeling just a little more colorful, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
Below are the clothes from Boden that have influenced my decisions–and some of these are real winners.
Be bold, ladies. Be colorful.
