Wardrobe Architect: Weeks 5&6

I'm working my way through the Coletterie's Wardrobe Architect project. If you missed the first post, start here.

*********

Weeks 5 and 6 are also quite related, so I'm double dipping again! These two weeks are all about color. I adore color and have never had a fear of wearing colors that look bad on me. Maybe I just don't care or maybe I'm blessed with a great complexion. So my project was mostly about deciding what colors I do want to have in my wardrobe.

Week 5 was about collecting all of the colors that you love to wear. I tried making a fancy graphic like Sarai but I spent a lot of time trying to get just the right shades that all worked together and then wrangle them in photoscape. But I finally gave up and just pinned a bunch of cool color palettes that other people had come up with.

Here are some that I love:


I knew that I wanted my color palette to include yellow, blue, black and white with pops of various colors. So you see those colors featured heavily in these color palettes. Week six was about organizing and focusing your palette. I chose two palettes to be my core palettes for this project.


I love this palette of blues with yellow! This is my inspiration for my core wardrobe. Each season, I plan on adding pop of color to help things feel fresh and new.


For summer, I'm planning on red as my pop of color. I adore this color palette! So fun!


Does your wardrobe have a definite color palette or does it have a rainbow of color?

Winter sewing palette

I am finally getting started on my last fall sewing project! I have two finished projects to show you and the Cadence sweater to finish knitting but I'm almost there! I did decided to bump the jacket I was planning on making till Christmas break when I'll actually have the time and energy to work on it properly.

I've already been dreaming about (and shopping for) winter sewing projects. I didn't set out with a particular color palette but one just sort of fell on me. (There is probably a reason for this and it has to do with a project I'm going to be starting over Christmas break as well.) But anyways, here is my winter sewing palette!

Perhaps I should have titled this post "Yes, I am still obsessed with Downton Abbey"....

Are you still in fall mode or have you already moved on-mentally or physically-to winter projects?

Fall Color Palette Take 2



So, I've decided to update my fall color palette. This is for a couple of reasons. 1) I've decided to focus on stash/pattern busting so I cut projects that required new fabric and new patterns. 2) I want to incorporate my knitting. 3) I also want to UFO bust! So my old fall color palette will probably get bumped to my winter palette and here's my new colors.


I just adore Downton Abbey so I decided to pull my color palette from the show. Right now I don't have any Edwardian projects planned but I'm going to buy myself this pattern as a reward for finishing my fall projects!

Theses are some of my fashion inspirations! I'll be in a more 30s/40s/50s + modern in my actual projects.
