Style in Color

A year ago I had a personal color analysis done and it changed the way I dress and specifically the colors I choose. Today I'm sharing some recent outfits plus an update on my 24 Buys in 2024 shopping challenge!


I've always been drawn to color however in the past when I am trying to shop practically I purchase neutrals for the ease of mixing and matching. However, after having my color analysis done I learned I'm a SPRING and black and white are not good colors for me. I still have neutrals that are complimentary including navy, browns and creams, but the bulk of the colors in my color wheel include spring colors you think of including pastels (pinks, greens, corals). 

Lately I've been challenging myself to purchase more color, and it's easy to mix these colors when they are a part of my color wheel. I notice a significant difference in not only my mood when I wear color but how I look. Here are a few colorful outfits I've worn the past couple of months. P.S. all my outfits are linked on my LTK account (a free app you can download). 


24 in 24 Shopping Challenge Update:
I'm challenging myself to only purchase 24 clothing items in 2024. I'm including gifted items as well because it doesn't seem fair to accept clothes and accumulate over 24 items when others are joining me in this challenge that don't get gifted clothing. I am not including purses, jewelry and makeup in the challenge, but shoes are a part of it. 

January Purchases
- First item was a pair of Katie Kime pajamas I was gifted
- Second item was a FreePeople Puffer Jacket I purchased

I'm trying to take it slow in February/March in preparation of shopping in Italy this May. However it never fails I want a completely new wardrobe before I take go on vacation so my goal is to only purchase 2-3 items prior to the trip. I have my eye on a pair of Freda Salvador fisherman sandals I think would be a staple in my closet and compliment my spring/summer outfits. Use my friend Andrea's code "15ANDREA" to get 15% off your first order. Another purchase I'm weighing is a pair of barrel jeans specifically these from Agolde. 

One item I purchased before my challenge started back in December were these high waisted athletic trousers by Alo and they might be my favorite pants of all-time! I reach for them almost daily, and have to tell myself to wear something else ; ). If I wasn't doing this challenge I'd buy a pair in brown immediately.

Something that has helped me in this challenge is borrowing clothes from friends. Thankfully we're similar in size so when I need a specific item such as a black blazer, my friends have been extremely helpful! It also helps they are joining in the challenge and we keep each other accountable.

Honestly, editing in fashion photography is such a delicate balance. You want the final image to look polished and striking, but at the same time keep the natural vibe of the model and the textures of the clothes. I used to spend hours in Photoshop tweaking lighting, fixing skin tones, and trying to make sure the outfit still looked realistic under different adjustments. At some point, I started looking for smarter tools to speed things up without losing quality. That’s when I tried fashion photography editing through this editor , and it really changed my workflow. The cool part is that it feels less like “filtering everything” and more like enhancing the details you actually want to highlight—colors pop, fabrics look sharp, and the whole image comes together without feeling artificial.

I really love how the colors in this outfit come together — simple yet full of personality. It’s inspiring to see how style can feel so effortless when tones are balanced naturally. I’ve been experimenting with shooting and editing my own content lately, but I keep running into issues when managing large image files and different publishing platforms. Has anyone here found an efficient way to organize and deploy visual content across multiple channels? Maybe something that helps with the technical side of infrastructure and deployment without getting too complex?

Absolutely agree — balancing tones really makes an outfit pop effortlessly! On the technical side, managing and deploying large visual content can get tricky. I recently came across a platform that streamlines infrastructure and deployment for creatives, making it easier to organize assets across multiple channels without getting overwhelmed by complexity. Tools like this handle storage, versioning, and multi-platform publishing efficiently, which is a huge time-saver. For anyone dealing with these challenges, it’s worth checking out https://processmix.com/infrastructure-and-deployment for a more seamless workflow.

I really love how the colors in your outfit blend so naturally — simple, yet full of personality! I’ve also been experimenting with shooting and editing my own content, and managing large image files across different platforms can be tricky. What helps me is keeping a consistent folder structure and clear naming conventions for all assets. I also try to batch process images and schedule posts when possible. These small steps don’t solve every issue, but they make organizing and deploying content across multiple channels much more manageable and less stressful.

That’s such a thoughtful discussion — I completely relate to what everyone’s saying about keeping things organized when managing visual content. From my experience, one of the biggest challenges isn’t just handling large files, but maintaining consistency in color grading and compression across different platforms. I’ve started using lightweight DAM tools that sync edits automatically and keep metadata intact, which helps a lot when posting to multiple channels. It saves time and keeps visual quality consistent without needing overly technical setups.

I completely relate to everything being said here — managing fashion photography content is definitely a balancing act. Beyond just organizing files, maintaining consistency in colors, textures, and details across platforms is such a challenge. I’ve started experimenting with batch processing and lightweight asset management tools, and it’s made a huge difference in workflow. It’s amazing how small adjustments, like consistent naming, structured folders, and synced edits, can save hours while keeping the images natural and polished. Definitely makes cross-platform publishing much less stressful.
