Beat the Winter Blues: Adding Color to Escape the Cold

While browsing through Instagram and my favorite stores this week, I noticed one thing they all had in common: everyone is ready for spring. Every shop window and online photo is filled with bathing suits, shorts and rompers. Every email I get is for the unveiling of the new spring/summer collection and the date it's going on sale. Seeing all this  made me giddy for warmer weather and almost made me forget it was 10 degrees outside. Side note to the fashion world: it's still freezing, please do not stop selling sweaters and jeans and gorgeous coats for at least three more months.

 The second I wake up in the morning, I am already dreading walking out the door and bearing the cold weather and I know I am not alone in this. However, as much fun as it is to moan and complain about the cold, instead lets just try and embrace it while we can and find a way to beat these terrible winter blues. Aside from going to happy hours to warm us from the inside out, try adding bright pops of colors to your wardrobe on top of  your usual black and neutral tones. True, this won't make the cold any warmer, but it will remind you of a warmer time and adding a bright color can help brighten your mood.

Whether it's a bag, flats, or even just a gorgeous bra, try incorporating a dash of color into your wardrobe tomorrow and see if it helps you add a bit of sunshine into your day.
