We are back with another fun-filled juxtaposition-focused post as we mix and match with fun fabrics. I love sharing these fab combinations with you, showing you my "crazy wear" as I like to call it. It makes me smile. :)

This example especially gets my creative juices flowing. Why? Because it's all about Vibrant Color! Which is one of my super favorite subjects! Vibrant color inspires me; it activates my creative center; it makes me happy when I wear it, see it, paint with it,  etc. 

<---In this particular image, I'm showing the combination of a lovely sleeveless top with black trim and small cut outs with an interior that looks like a brilliantly colored sky with stars  (which I acquired at Cynthia Elliot Boutique) and my favorite pair of print jeans with all the fun colored squares that reminds me of digital applications (which I purchased at Kohl's with the Princess Vera Line). This was the first time I combined these two together and I just loved it! 

<---In this image, I'm showing an up close of the brilliant colored design of the top. These colors are some of my favorites to paint, with the reds and greens and yellows. (I'm tempted to go to my current palette right now...inspired!)

I love being able to combine fun fabrics like this in unexpected ways. (Speaking of the unexpected, I also created a video with my new series, Refresh Daily Rewind, featuring that same topic.)

One of my favorite experiences is putting two or three wardrobe items together in ways I've never tried before and just loving how it pulls together. Spontaneous fashion!

I also wanted to show how the main featured top has the cut outs by the collar, the red tank I layered with as well as the necklace I chose for the jewelry enhancement (an Avon selection gifted to me by my sister) of this particular outfit.  I love red for its vibrancy so I wanted to accentuate the reds in the top with the tank and the necklace. I'm also wearing earrings that match the necklace not shown in the photo above. 

Now it's YOUR TURN! 

Journaling Prompt:
What kind of colors inspire you? Are they vibrant, bright and fun? Or are they more subdued, interesting and mysterious? Do you have these inspiring colors in YOUR wardrobe? What do these colors speak to you? What kind of action do they inspire in you? What Creative expression can you initiate with these colors? 

Art Journaling Prompt:
Take the same colors that inspire you and feature them especially in your next art journal spread to honor your preferences and show what they speak to you, either in cut out letters, stamped quotes, or a doodle dedication to all colors that you love and why you love them. 

Remember to give yourself permission to try some new combinations in your wardrobe. You never know what will make you feel absolutely fabulous!
