Next, I had a mega girl crush phase for both Mindy Kaling and Solange Knowles. They're both so pro at dressing colorfully, and they inspired me to try to be more courageous with color choices.
And lastly, we rediscovered that we really love color, and we're relearning what colors work with our individual skin tone and hair color. It's fun! There are endless ways to mix and match our colorful pieces. Most not nearly as crazy as these outfits, but still fun.
I'm glad we're back into colorful outfits. Not that I don't still love my black and white and denim staples, cause I do. But it's nice to feel brave with color and enjoy fashion as more of a hobby again. God knows we love hobbies.
Sarah had the idea to try shooting with giant bubbles. It was the most fun shoot of our year. One to be beat! I mean, it's not everyday that we get to blow giant bubbles.

These photos are fabulous – once you start incorporating color into your wardrobe it’s hard to stop! Loving that lips purse too- too cute! XO
I love how you guys did a photoshoot with bubbles! How did I not think of that? I love how whimsical and playful these photos are, especially with that adorable horse clutch.

I love the bright colors you ladies wear! So pretty! I am a neutral-lover for my own closet through-and-through (partly because I do a minimalist wardrobe and so neutrals = more options) but I certainly love adding fun, bright, jewelry!

Super cute & killer shades! This month’s Cosmo had a Mindy Kaling color wheel (photos of her wearing dresses in every possible color, looking fabulous no matter the hue). She’s always an inspiration.

Kimonos seem to be the in thing these days and I’ve seen fashion bloggers use it to accentuate their ensemble. Love the bright pink with the black and white top and shorts! <3

I’ve been wanting to explore and experiment outside of my fashion comfort zone as well!! My style is normally simple and more neutral/earth tones. But I’ve really been wanting to start experimenting with staple jewelry and styles of clothing that I haven’t considered trying before! It’s so fun… You can always end up surprising yourself!
Love this post – such a good idea!
Loving these photos! Super bright and fun 🙂

As soon as we slip in to autumn winter, my wardrobe tends to go back in to darker, more subtle shades. Totally not going to stop wearing colour just for the weather now! You both look amazing. Kath x

This purses are so cute!
LOVING the vibrant colors! Which action did you use? I have them and love them but just wondering which one created this clean color pop?
Can I ask what size kimono you’re wearing and how it fits? I’m trying to figure out if the size available would be okay for me!! It’s such a fantastic colour!! Both looking awesome too 🙂
Love the orange sunnies! I definitely need to inject a bit more colour into my wardrobe!

Elsie, WHERE did you get those shoes?! is there any way you could show me a link?! I’ve looked ’em up and haven’t found those exact ones anywhere! are they Swedish Hasbeens?!
Bright clothes are so cheerful, you both look fantastic!
Very cute, the colours here just pop <3

Your photoshoots always look like so much fun!
And I love how much more colorful my wardrobe is getting these days, too. Used to be black, white, brown, and the occasional pop of color… now everything is so bright and fun! It’s made my love fashion again, to involve more color in my everyday.
The bright colors make the photos that much more interesting. The little horse clutch is too cute! Very nice!
Emily
You both look so good in color! So much fun…
