Color preferences

By , July 7, 2011 5:42 pm

Last week, Kandi commented on my Skirts for the summer post that most of her skirts are black and white. Me too, Kandi. Me too. I counted – out of my 13 skirts, 7 of them are black and white, 1 is all black, and 1 is black and red. And most of my dresses are black too. I hope that doesn’t say anything about my personality!

What color do you have the most of hanging up in your closet? Now, which color do you wear the most?

I noticed most of my work tops are black, gray or white (and green seemed to be the most represented color):

but I think I wear purple the most, and yes black.

In my workout clothes, I have mostly blue and pink:

and I definitely wear pink the most! That is for sure.

For street clothes, it seems I have a lot of reds, pinks and oranges:

but really, I usually pick one shirt and wear it all weekend, unless I am going to be with the same people all weekend, or get sweaty. I usually wear the same two teal shirts over and over that I love.

Orange is my favorite color, but I don’t have a lot of orange clothes!

    I love orange too- but I don’t have too many orange clothes! I wear pink and green the most. I dig navy too.

    Everything I own is pretty much gray, or has stripes and my husband always asks when I’m going to step outside of the box.

    This is inspiring me to hang my clothes up by color. Yours look so nice!

    I have a lot of bluish-green teal, a lot of dark fuschia, and a lot of black. I’m starting to get into blues and greens. I look best in “jewel” tones so I wear a lot of them.

    I like your skirts… so many great patterns and they look nice hanging together.

    I wear a lot of black and white and grey, too, but for summer it’s more blue and white.

    I also have a lot of black! It is so easy – everything matches black.
    Workout clothes are always black on bottom and blue or pink tops.

    I have a lot of different colors and I usually wear the same stuff all weekend too!

  7. My dress clothes are mostly gray, black, and white, too!

  8. About a decade ago, I became all too aware of (a) how easy it is to rely on black clothes and (b) how awful I look in black. I started making a conscious effort to avoid buying black. In that time, I think I bought one black dress for a wedding. Otherwise, I rely on brown or dark purple as my new black and prefer lots of color.

    Thanks for the shoutout.
    I have a lot of black and blue in my closet. I have blue eyes and blue shirts tend to show them off better so I wear a decent amount of blue. I also wear a lot of red. I noticed the other day that I don’t have any green shirts in my closet anymore. I have green t-shirts but nothing for work.
    As for workout clothes, I usually stick to black bottoms and pink, blue, or green tops. I recently decided to give pink a try and now own several pink running shirts.

    I also organize my closet by color!! It makes the mornings so easy!

    No going to lie, this kind of inspired my hope for the weekend of clearing out all of the old clothing out of my closet.
    I think it’d be so much easier if I had a lot of black and white because it would be easier to make things match, but I have a ton of colors – almost everything I have has color in it – lots of blues and greens and purples.
    (on a related note, I read once that Angelina Jolie has a closet of almost all black, so that she doesn’t have to have many pieces and ca wear everything with everything – making it very easy to pack for traveling.)

    Same here… my work clothes are, by far, black and grey. Also, I’ve noticed that I wear a lot of cardigans… my casual clothes are slightly more colorful, but probably not by a lot.

    I am a rainbow. Seriously. I rarely wear white or black clothes and usually lean towards jewel tones (green, purple, red). Lately I’ve been embracing yellow.
