Spring wardrobe mini-challenge?!- color picks

I've been wanting to do an inspiration board for a while. So, Collette's challenge seems like a good time to start.

I'm having trouble loading the palette I created, so here's something close-

I've been into the combination of turquoise and coral for a while. (An artist friend of mine has suggested red jasper is an even better red for this combo.)

(and bonus, I have a lot of it in my stash.)



And, because I feel the need to redefine myself as rock'n'roll in a hippie, earthy town, and because there has never been enough of it in my wardrobe, BLACK


Though I might look for gunmetal, or other lighter blacks with some colored undertones, to help it go with other neutrals.

  3. Chocolate for the main piece, and hot pink -or coral- light blue, off white, and olive green for smaller garments.
