A Blue Phase

Somewhere around the blogosphere, I saw someone mention that she was in a blue phase.  At first, I thought she meant a melancholy time, but she was actually talking about a love for shades of blue.


Well, I guess I'm in a blue phase.  Actually, it's more of an aqua/turquoise phase.  It started with the color Cory chose for our wedding (from a rather broad selection I gave him; I'm horribly indecisive).  It then turned out to be the top color pick that year, according to Martha Stewart Weddings.  But it hasn't gone away yet.  I was searching Etsy today for a just-right hair accessory, which always happens when my hair gets long enough to be worn up and I have time to kill, and I discovered that many of my favorites are in variations of the exact same hue.

Oddly, though, I don't own a lot of things in this color.  I tend to buy only neutrals, to the point that my closet is incredibly dull.  Perhaps I need more than just a cute hair clip, no?  

I had a whole meditation in mind to go with this, on the psychology of my wardrobe choices, but a) I don't really know a ton about psychology and b) this post has gotten long enough.  Maybe I'll write it on Monday.  Maybe not, since that's the day I start grad school.  Yikes!  Where did the summer go?  Oh, and if you know where that line about a blue phase came from, would you tell me?  Thanks!

ventures into the blogosphere: creature comforts

The blog that got me addicted to blogs:

Inspiration Daily: 06. 25. 10 - Home - Creature Comforts - daily inspiration, style, diy projects + freebies.

my favorite color.

Cory picked it for the wedding and now I'm in love with it.  I picture it everywhere in our home.
