It’s a wrap-holidays 2013 are in the books and a hopeful New Year has arrived. After Christmas I eagerly anticipate Spring with its technicolor show of blooming flowers, trees and my wardrobe. I adore color; whether it is bright clothes, accent walls or decorative home decor. I must admit I was thrilled when the new “it” color of 2014 was announced which is the pinky-purple hue of Radiant Orchid (Pantone color no. 18-3224) since it is a color I already wholeheartedly embrace. I believe color is very personal, since it tends to invoke a visceral response that is hard for most people to hide; especially if it is a bold, opaque hue that is counter to their color comfort zone. Yet the great thing about trendy colors is that you don’t have to marry them, you can just date them! I do it all the time. New throw pillow covers, cute ballet flats, bright picture frames and radiant nail color allow me to try a trendy spectrum to see what suits me. I always go back to my true love of autumnal hues, but I seasonally flirt with other colors all the time. So, today, look around and see where a new splash of color might fit into your life. While it might not be Radiant Orchid, you possibly could find a little nook in your life for some red shoes or maybe a tangerine Kitchen-Aid mixer. Happy Monday y’all!
