Colour is my favourite too! In the sales, I bought a cream skirt and it’s so strange to wear something so pale. I have to team it with stripes or bright tops.
One of my goals for this month is to share more outfit posts on my blog; I’ve not done this since September but seeing your outfit posts makes me determined to share more.
Brilliantly colourful π
Let me know if you find that support group because I definitely belong there! I sew with lot’s of colors & wear lots of color, it’s what inspires me the most! : )
Hi, Elsie! I really admire your love of color mixing; I have tons of colorful sweaters and dresses in my closet, yet I’m never that adventurous with them! You’ve inspired me to take a second look at my clothes and think of new ways to remix them–adding lots of color, of course! Thank you!

I’d definitely be in that support group! Ha ha! Thank you so much Elsie! Due to your support..and the awesome Dream Job course…yesterday I launched my store! Also…on my blog I’m doing a giveaway with support from Toms…with the new book from Blake Mycoskie. Also…10% of every item sold in my store goes to the National MS society. π Yep…I’m doing some good…and you totally helped empower me…you and YOUR lovely Sister and friends! Happy New Year Sweet Lady!! Hearts, Janna Lynn
I love all the color you wear. I’m really loving the white tights sooo cute.
xo,
Em
i love wearing lots of color! unfortunately, since i started working from home i don’t put much effort into getting dressed. think i might need to start again!
Wearing lots of colours makes a dull day brighter !
I’m definitely more of a neutral girl myself, but colorful outfits make everyone so happy! Especially in the dead of winter, no? So keep dressing colorfully π
This entire outfit is SO CUTE, however I really love those tights with those shoes. Such an adorable combo!
Cute π
The Bootlace
LOVE the blue skirt!
http://theloveliestlittlethings.wordpress.com/
I love this combo – you do look great! π
Such a cute outfit! That skirt just pops
If you find a support group like that, let me know, because I am the exact same way! Try as I might, I’m rarely successful embracing neutrals. You look great. π

beautiful shoes, they’re so unique!
with love,
your opinion is VERY important for me!http://chocarome.blogspot.com/
Elsie, I love your use of colour! Please don’t go down the neutral route or, worst still ‘practical’! I’m very guilty of straying into the safeness of wearing black but I love ladies who dare to wear brights – in fact I wrote a post about it this afternoon: http://lastyeargirl.blogspot.com/2012/01/bright-new-year.html
Your colourful outfits would fit in perfectly!
http://Www.dollfacedlynne.blogspot.com
I wear waaay too much black, so I think we balance the universe out!

I’m just starting to get used to colour and posting outfit posts again. I adore your skirt, it looks great on you!
ah I love colour too! I used to wear it more often but I’m currently trying to wear neutrals and pastels a bit more π
I’ve just started recently posting outfits on my blog and one of my new year’s resolutions is to keep doing it… hopefully one day I’ll have a bunch of colourful outfits to share as well!
you look great in bright colours! i on the other hand, tend to wear way too much black and grey, and have a hard time adding colour in.
happy new year!
I find that when I wear color that I usually steer away from, sometime I have the most wonderful unexpected results!
As for a blog, My friends and I started a blog over a year ago (which is currently in hiatus since November) in which we all modeled only clothing and accessories which we found at our local dump. Some of the results are very close to my heart. Please check us out! http://flagrant-vagrants.blogspot.com/
I’m more of a neutral-loving gal, but I do love wearing autumn ‘colours’ like teal, burgundy, mustard yellow etc. It’s one of my goals to start posting outfit pictures in the new year, I’ll show you a link then!
Great colours!!
i love color, too! it’s something i’ve only very recently opened myself up to but now that i have i can’t get enough! (also, that cobalt blue is amazing with your coloring <3)
here's a link to my blog... there are a few outfit posts on the first page!

Me too π My mother in law said “lindsay wears a lot of color + it doesn’t match.” haha. Someone recently asked me if I thought I matched. I don’t belive in matchy, matchy! I love color too π If they are my favorite colors then i believe they go together π Happy New Year! β₯
I love how you’re not afraid to be bold! And is there such a thing as loving color too much? More people should do it! (Including me though!) I just started a new blog and it’s definitely in the planning to post outfits, but I’m not sure how to go about it yet, haha. Anyway great outfit xo
I loooooove those bright red adorable shoes! π
Ever since I started following your blog, I have been trying to use more color in my outfits. You make it look so easy. I think I need to come to your boutique soon…:) you look great.

Loving colour is good! Just indulge! You look lovely in it by the way! I’m too shy to post outfit posts… plus I do not have an eye for fashion, I prefer to watch people like you to get inspired and it has made an impact on my wardrobe π
So, here’s to all the bold, colorful, inspiring bloggers like yourself.
Cheers
Sophia
I used to have this problem, but for the past year or so I found myself only buying navy, black and grey! Now I have to try and introduce some color back into my closet and you are great inspiration for that π
I just started a blog last month and have been including an outfit post or two as well. You and your sister Emma are two of my biggest blogging inspirations!
http://viennawaitsblog.blogspot.com/
YOU are just adorable!! I love this bright fun outfit!! Hope the new puppy is doing well! What a sweet husband π
Colorblocking NEVER gets old π
I love it!
http://www.WearAboutsBlog.com
Why would you ever want to resist? Color makes every day happier. Especially wearing bright splashes on rainy days!
I guess I am a bit of a color addict, too. I never really thought about until receiving several color comments on my 2011 wardrobe in review post. Apparently there is not a lot of neutral in my closet. I think I would like to keep it that way. Color is such a driving force in my life. I need it. It inspires me and makes me happy. I say you keep on rockin’ the color girl! We need to start a support group for those who don’t wear color!
If you want to take a peek at my color addiction, you can do so here:

I love your outfits – I think they’re the best! Your smile is just the most wonderful by the way, so cheery!!!
I do post outfits – but I’ve been slacking and I actually plan to take more for 2012 π There’s a few up though if you’d like to take a peek!

Love how colorful you are!!! At times i try wearing bright stuff but not use to it. But you keep me trying π
I use to only wear gray and black – then I had a roommate who had a closet full of color! She let me borrow several fun pieces and honestly wearing color changed my outlook on the day. I think adding color to one’s wardrobe should be on more New Year’s Resolutions!! PS. Love the shoes π
I love colour too, and have no intention of changing that! This outfit looks great. I’ve also been coveting those shoes. I think I’ll get them in the not too distant future.
I’ve been on a bit of a break so haven’t posted outfits in a while, but here’s the most recent outfitty posts:
http://www.oranges-and-apples.com/category/outfits
Love those shoes and tights!
I did a rather colorful (for me!) outfit this past week, too: http://dragonflightdreams.com/2011/12/31/what-i-wore-summer-in-december/
I love your use of color and it has challenged me to try color combinations more this last year!
Here is a link to my outfit posts on my blog!

The second post is a vintage dress hack and a velvet bow I made from inspiration from the one’s in your shop!
xo Happy New Year Elsie! Looking forward to much more Beautiful Mess this year!
If you find that color obsessed support group, sign me up too! π
Never stop wearing color Elsie! You inspire me to be brave with my outfit choices.
I’ve only done one outfit post so far for my “Blogging for Confidence” series. I’m not sure if I will do more, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one! http://onesheepishgirl.blogspot.com/2011/12/blogging-for-confidence-9-my-first.html
I love all the color! Such a happy outfit! I do outfit posts sometimes, but my pictures/outfits aren’t nearly as colorful. I think I need to add some more color in my wardrobe!
http://apurpledress.wordpress.com/
I love the outfit, the shoes are my favorite! I hope you have a great 2012!
I love color! π Don’t change a thing…

Hi Elsie,
I’ve been following your gorgeous blog for a while now but I think this is the first time I’ve commented. I’m actually on a mission this January to banish all monotone outfits from my wardrobe – it’s amazing how a bit of colour on these cold dreary days can change your mood and the mood of other people around you. I’ve made this my New Year’s resolution and I’m inviting my readers to do the same – in fact, I’ve asked my readers to send in their attempts of breaking the inevitable winter wardrobe rut and I’m going to publish a selection at the end of January. Would you be interested in sending me a photo which I could feature? Your outfits are always so beautifully colourful and they certainly brighten up my day!

I love wearing color, too! I try to tone it down sometimes, but I just can’t help myself! This outfit is wonderful! I love the shoes!

I am a huge fan of wearing colour, especially bold shades in the cold winter months it seems π I do like the peaceful calm of neutrals also, but for when I am feeling fiesty, colour is a must!! I also love the texture of that rusted barn you are standing with here. That is inspiring to me on so many levels π Happy New Year Elsie! May 2012 bring all that you wish for into fruition. xoxo
I love how you wear colour and style it so everything fits together. I think it is definitely a talent.

Beautiful!! I LOVE those blue shades together.

I think you’ll agree!!
I think all the colors you wear help you have such a bright, cheery disposition. Maybe I should do a wardrobe switch…
I love the turquoise!!!! super duper cute! your outfits always make me smile elsie!

color is definitely a good thing… and you pull it off so well! sometimes I need a color boost in my wardrobe!
You always have the most interesting backgrounds for your photo shoots. Love it!
Sophie
I’m a sucker for colours, especially ones that you don’t see too many other girls in – minty greens, bright corals, anything a little unusual! As a high schooler, I’m stuck in a sea of pink, navy, and yellow guy harvey shirts, camo jackets, and the like. Sigh…
Hopefully I’ll be doing my own outfit posts beginning at the end of this week or next. I’m new to blogging π
http://ahopelessnotebook.blogspot.com/
I love your use of color–I always find it so creative and inspiring. You use it in your blog design and in your home–it’s one of my favorite reasons to follow you!

Happy New Year!
Your outfits are brilliant! I wish I had the guts to wear things like that!! π Adorable.
I did my very first outfit post just a few weeks ago! It’s not the greatest, but it was fun and now I’m building my second outfit!
http://justusfolk.com/2011/12/12/my-first-outfit-post-aka-whats-with-the-leg/
I need to be bolder with color and pattern, but I must have some sort of phobia. Maybe that should be a new year’s resolution!
I love bright colours…..especially blues…..but I’m a little too shy too wear them. I LOVE your skirt and shoes…….so cute! I want them! π
color is great, makes you happy and why be with boring neutral when you can pick something that make you smile? π
Love the backdrop and the pop of red from the shoes.

I love how you mix colour. I do love colour but i always end up wearing one jewel tone mixed with black. Can’t seem to break free from that. Looks great! Love the shoes.
so lovely π and ADORABLE!

p.s. happy new year.
I love color too! But I’ve got it the other way ’round…own lots of neutral, utilitarian mix’n’match for work, but have challenged myself to wear more color this year. I’ve not posted an outfit on my blog for awhile, but here are links to previous posts for my two favorite colorful vintage dresses:
http://www.myowleyes.net/2011/07/turquoise-dress-and-coral-lips.html
http://www.myowleyes.net/2011/03/my-new-favorite-work-dress.html
I think you’d really like both of the dresses,
I blog about my outfits every once in a while.
Lovely! I love color as well, but I seem to be drawn more to neutrals when it comes to clothing. That’s something I plan to change this year, though.
http://just-gingerly.blogspot.com
you’re the cutest thing ever elsie! always love your photos π
I haven’t posted anything in ages (maybe a New Year’s resolution there?) but I do post some outfits on LookBook from time to time!

I love your outfit posts! Your shoes especially (all of them) are simply amazing. I started doing outfit posts this year…they’re time-consuming, but so fun! My style has really evolved since I started doing them. You can check them out here:

I absolutely ADORE this outfit. That top is so interesting and its color keeps the outfit from taking a detour into the realm of Patriotic Colors. The belt is a nice touch.
i am exactly the same way! i often wish i could be one of those girls with all the perfect neutral foundation pieces that end up making hundreds of outfits with, like, 10 things and look so chic. instead, my closet is filled to the brim with every color & bright pattern imaginable – my eyes just love color too much and it makes me too darn happy to resist!

i have the same exact problem with color! i just love it so much, and love all the different color combos! i do outfit posts, but not on a regular basis like you, but please still take a look!

I love how colorful you are – I am the same way, to sort of a wild extent sometimes!
Whenever I do laundry, all the “brights” are pretty much mine exclusively, and all the grays/blacks are my guy’s. π
I’m a color addict as well, I just don’t feel “me” in neutrals. I’m not nearly as skill at mixing colors as you though, the combinations you come up with are amazing! I started posting weekly outfit summaries this summer.
http://joyfullyweary.blogspot.com/search/label/Mommy%20Fashion
It’s been a great learning experience, you get a whole new perspective when you see your outfit in a photo instead just the mirror.
Hi! I just started reading your blog a few months back and I love it! Ive been doing a 365 blog for the past 3 years now and just started a more personal one last year. Love all your outfits!

Es que no serias la misma Elsie si te vistieras de negro y gris.. Me encantan tus mezclas, ojala yo me animara a hacerlas..
Elsie never give up the colour! Because once the colour blocking fad passes on by, I suspect lots of the people who have taken on the bright shades may return to those neutrals you have referred to. People like you are needed to keep the brights shining on!
I wear quite a lot of colour myself, which is a massive transformation from a couple of years ago. It just took a bit of courage to step outside the black and red π

Oh, and happy new year!
I’m so, so in love with those shoes!

I recently did an outfit post with one of your beautiful velvet bows! http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2011/12/threads-122011.html
Colourful looks are so lovely on you, I don’t think you should do anything against your colour addiction π
I post outfits on my blog: http://blog.kathastrophal.de/
Love your look… so sweet!
Absolutely love those shoes!! Very jealous π
why would you EVER want to resist it! That outfit is faaaantastic!
I have a similar problem! I love colors, I really do but I can hardly make myself purchase/wear them. I’m in hardcore grey mode. How depressing is that?
However, I always make an exception for purple! π
Elsie – your use of color is absolutely sensational. Reading your blog on a daily basis is such a treat!
Have a lovely day!
