New Year in Stripes

Hey, guys! Welcome back to Talk Fabulous!

Happy 2018!!! I hope you all are having a lovely start to the new year! Let me know in the comments below how you rang in the new year. I would love to hear from you!

Today, I was feeling stripes to kick off the new year. It’s been really cold and dreary here lately, so I was searching for, not only stripes but also a pop of color. Never underestimate the power of a bright color. It can instantly change your mood and the mood of those around you. I remember one day I was walking down the street dressed in a bright pink sweater with a lavender tee and a springy pink, purple, and white scarf. Basically, I looked like spring. Did I mention this was in the middle of winter? A lady stopped me and said I must be ready for warm weather. Who isn’t, right? She proceeded to tell me how much she appreciated my brightly colored outfit and that it brightened her day. How cool is that? I thought that was a fabulous compliment and it made my heart happy. When I saw today’s inspiration photo with the fabulous pops of pink, it made me think of that day and I knew I had to recreate the look. I don’t have any pink pants, so I exchanged them for some regular jeans. The rest of the outfit I kept the same with the striped black and white shirt and black cardigan. I added the pink tank and pink necklace. I’m loving the finished looked and even better, it’s so comfy! This is one I’ll be sure to have on repeat this winter!
