You guys, it’s not technically fall until Friday, and I am going to wear shirts the color of sunshine as long as I durn well please. Also, I’d just like to go ahead and throw this out there – I’m going to wear lots of color this fall and winter.

Sure, I’m going to wear the blacks, browns, navys, oxbloods… but the people that say you can’t wear colors like white, yellow, PINK, blue, purple, and teal in the winter time… yeah, THOSE are the people that are affected by S.A.D.

You think I’m joking. But it’s true. The next time you see someone totally down in the dumps in the winter time… notice what color they’re wearing. I’ll bet you a burrito that they ain’t wearing hot pink. Or teal. Or purple.

They’re probably wearing beige. Or mauve. Something boring.

As my dad always said, “You can never be sad when you’re wearing yellow.” (Or purple, pink… just insert any fun color in the place of yellow.)

My dad is a wise man.

Happy Monday, y’all!

  6. I definitely wear bright colors year round! Party because I like to extend my summer wardrobe (yay cardigans!) and because who doesn’t want to feel cheerful on those dreary winter days? I need to get some yellow though! It’s the perfect cheery color!

  8. Hello Sunshine! I love that you’re still wearing color! I giggle when I see all these other bloggers decked out head to toe in sweaters and scarves in fall colors- knowing darn well it’s still a good 80ish degrees out. Silly girls 🙂

    PS- Loving all the baubles!

  32. Yellow is my favorite color for that reason! I just bought a few cardigans at Target in bright colors and patterns, so you won’t be alone in wearing color this fall!

  33. I totally agree about the bright colors. When it’s dark, cold, and dreary out is THE time to be wearing brights. How else are you going to get through the winter? Love your yellow top and DIY shoes! And your arm party is just fabulous. 🙂

  41. It’s so true! Even when I get all cranky and depressed about the weather I notice I’m wearing greys and blacks! I love yellow and I agree that it (and the other brights) should be worn year round! You’re rocking this outfit (and I love your bracelets too)!

  42. There is no wrong time to wear bright colors!! And I agree, it’s so much more difficult to be in a bad mood when you’re wearing a yellow or a pink or something similar. Love it!!!

  47. LOVE LOVE LOVE your top! It’s after midnight but I am going to bed all cheery because of this post! I agree with wearing bright colors in the fall. For me though I don’t mind the fall as much as I do winter [bleh] THAT’S when I plan on breaking out my neons, purples, pinks, and yellows. Winter blues stink! I wish it could just be Spring and Fall all year 🙂
