Hello! Fashion moves fast; it's constantly shifting- whether that refers to a seasonal change or the emergence of new trends. For me, I'm all about color in fashion. And as the seasons and trends change, my color preferences change as well. March marks a transitional period in fashion as we usher winter out and welcome spring into our lives so it only makes sense that there's also been a recent shift in the colors in my wardrobe.

I fill my wardrobe with a variety of colorful dresses and vintage gems but usually one or two different colors reign supreme in my wardrobe. Baby blue and peachy keen hues took over my closet after I graduated from college and I flirted with yellow briefly afterwards before deciding to go steady with the color pink. And I've been rocking pink for a while now. At one point last year, the number of pink garments on my clothing rack surpassed the number of black garments. But in the past couple of months I've found that I've slowly been removing shades of pink from my wardrobe.

And what's been replacing those pretty pink hues? Bold shades of red. I've recently been really drawn to anything and everything red- from flirty red dresses to eye-catching shades of red lipstick. I've never really been a fan of the color red before but hey, there's just something about it that I can't resist at the moment. Maybe it symbolizes a change in mood? A fiery rebirth of my spirit as the weather warms up?

I think it's interesting the roles that certain colors play and how colors can affect your mood. Red symbolizes passion, love, adventure and seduction. It's certainly a strong color and there's something almost empowering about rocking the fiery shade. My newfound fondest for the color took me by surprise but in the best way possible. Expect to see a lot more red hues on the blog this spring.

Zaful recently sent me this playful red and white polka dot dress to showcase on my blog and I've been wearing it practically on repeat. I'd even go as far as to say that this dress perhaps inspired my recent lust for the color. You can check this dress out for yourself here for just $22.

Do you go through phases with color in your wardrobe? Or do you have a favorite color to rock? Let me know in the comments below!
