My Favorite Color is Beige

An 80 year old family member told me that in all seriousness. I thought it was so absurd...until I looked in my closet...and my bureau drawers. This is what I found....

Edit PostsA veritable Sea of Beige! (Note that the bedspread and wall colors are also beige/tan. In my defense, the quilt is usually on the bed, too, but still.)

At my mature age and given my glow-in-the-dark Irish complexion, I'm told that jewel tones are the only antidote to appearing completely washed out. So I've been dipping my toe in the color (and pattern) pool.




Frump takes it on the chin. Ha!

I like the colors much better! Very cheery looking. I have to be careful when shopping - I tend to gravitate toward the blue family. It gets repetitive.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I'm a 'beiger' too. Although, beige actually is a good shade for my reddish hair/fair complexion. A little splash of colour is always fun though!!!

Oatmeal is such a sad color...
My colors are red, purple, turquoise and pink. I look like death in beige, LOL!

I look terrible in beige. The closest you'll find to beige in my closet are my tan capris. I wear black, black, and more black!
