Adding Color to My Wardrobe

This new year is the END of my drab wardrobe! Famous last words! For a long time, I’ve managed to coast along, work from home and live in sweats and t-shirts! My goodness, I’m 78 years old! I can risk trying some new colors! I have lived in black and navy blue with an occasional purple for years. Why!

For a while, as my hair turned gray, it felt like the dark colors looked best. Then I discovered I managed to spill or drip something right on the front of most of my shirts. Sometimes my cooking projects enhanced any design on any shirt I had! That didn’t show as much on dark colors! Plus…I’m home most of the time, so who cares if I’m in t-shirts. I seldom spend much time staring at myself in the mirror!

My closet is pretty dark and boring with all my dark shirts!

I occasionally wear a red raincoat…but only when it’s raining! Most of the time I’m in black jackets.

Anticipating Christmas gatherings, I managed to buy a green sweater and a red one. I really fit into our Christmas pictures…instead of all black with a red scarf!

I needed a new mid-weight coat this year. Lands End was having a sale! Yea! I ended up with a navy coat (of course) that was great for those days when I was running around town. I wore this coat to Kathy’s house on Christmas Eve.

While we’re driving I noticed in the car mirror that the lining was a lovely cobalt blue.

Thinking to myself, “What a great color! Why don’t I have more of that in my closet?” So, while Bert was driving past Ebensburg I pulled up Amazon on my phone and in a few minutes I found a sweater, a scarf, a t-shirt and a plaid flannel shirt in this lovely color! Merry Christmas to me!

So that’s the story of adding color to my wardrobe! I’m going to do better from now on!
