Houston, we have a problem. Okay, maybe it's technically not a problem, but I just realized this is my sixth post in less than than two weeks that I have either worn or chatted about neutral colors. Where did Shanna go? For those of you that have been reading for a longer length of time know I like color....red, orange, blue, green, yellow, pink...all of the rainbow. Why all of the sudden have I gravitated toward a basic palette of black and browns? Am I playing it safe? Have I lost my luster? Am I becoming Drab Deb?
Maybe I am being dramatic here. I honestly think it boils down to my new rule of remixing for the fall. I am no longer purchasing pieces that have a summer ring to them. I am fully focused on adding items for the upcoming season which mostly consist of neutral colors. I am by no means saying that I am ready for summer to be over, but subconsciously I guess I am over it.
Isn't it crazy how our minds shift so quickly just by what we see and read? Everywhere we turn, all things fall are in our faces. Things I pinned on Pinterest this time last year are resurfacing again. People are repinning what was posted last November and style inspirations from 2012 are popping back up in my feed. I think we all have the same thing on our brains; a new season is upon us.
With every new season comes change. It's human nature and doesn't just entail fashion. Our taste buds crave different foods. We long for different aromas (insert pumpkin spice). Our sights are set on bonfires, football and the upcoming holidays. Think about it. How has your brain reprogrammed in a few short weeks? It's mind blowing how we change our way of thinking once September rolls around. There is just something special about the ninth month of the year. I guess it's kind of like April when we shift back to bright colors, flowers and neon pink nail polish.
Is is just me or has your brain done a 180 degree turn in the last few days too?
