Bright Red and Yellow with Ponies by Marilyn

I have this total infatuation with color. I'm not sure what I'd do if I didn't have the option to wear anything with color. Color is known to evoke different feelings and emotions. I like to dress with how I'm feeling, which is usually bright. If I'm not in the best mood, I feel like how I dress is a way that can help bring my mood out of the dumps and be more cheerful. I usually aim to be pleasant and polite in public because it's really hard to go run an errand and deal with people who are not polite and pleasant. So why not start with your outfit when you go out? Dress in an outfit that is going to make you happier so that you can pass the positivity onto others who might not be having the best day.  
One of my recent favorite colors to wear is this bright orangish-red. 
Those of you who have been following for a while also know that I can't seem to get enough yellow into my wardrobe. 
 I decided to pair these two up along with this new pony print chiffon blouse. 
When I purchase items to wear, I tend to stick to this imaginary color scheme in my head. Or it may just be the places I shop that have their own color scheme I tend to stick to. 
I happened to buy these flats and cardigan at different times, yet they seem to match perfectly. I love it when that happens! 
Developing a personal color scheme for your wardrobe can really help you save money in the long run because everything in your closet will go together! 
What are some of your favorite colors to wear? Do any of you have an imaginary color scheme?
Hope you guys enjoy this fun outfit I threw together for casual outings.

  5. Marilyn, you look cute no matter what you wear, or how you pair it! I wear mostly blues and greens with a mix of gray, but I try to branch out now and then to wear something with a pattern, and I love stripes too!
