12 Ways to Add Coral to Your Wardrobe! // Pantone Color of the Year 2019

"Living Coral" is the Pantone color of the year. I've heard mixed opinions from people on how exciting (or not exciting) it is. Personally, I like coral quite a bit! It wasn't anything too "out there" for the color of the year. *shrugs* I'm not complaining about it! :) If you guys don't know Sarena she is a color consultant (cool!) and I just love her blog! We decided to join together and share some fun ways to add coral to your wardrobe.

Several things are true of my own personal style:

1) I want to be comfortable.
2) I like to wear pops of bright colors, rather than head-to-toe rainbow hues
3) I like to find inexpensive items to round out my wardrobe - I've been known to splurge, but only on key pieces.

I hope that this gives you some ideas for how to add a little bit of coral to your everyday wardrobe.... without feeling like a neon sign, compromising comfort, or breaking the bank!

1) Fjallraven Kanken Mini Backpack - Fjallraven, in peach pink, $70.00 - I have this bag in navy and I have been so happy with it! Especially great for travel or if you have kiddos!

Do you like coral? Do you have some in your closet?

Are you a color lover, or do you use it more sparingly?
