Blue+Green



 I have always been in love with the color blue green, aquamarine, turquoise, anything bluish-greenish. The aura of the color just makes me feel at home and somehow close to what is 'natural'.  My mom's love for colors influenced me a lot too. She would often wear clothes in hues of green, yellow, pink, blue, red and up to now whenever I miss her, I just open her closet and stare at her clothes reminiscing a specific clothing  she wore during a specific day. I remember her collection of flats in lime green and light blue and I was lucky among my sisters to have the same size as my mom because I can borrow shoes from her. LOL

This day felt like a blue green day as well as in the past week. It's just comforting to wear and feel something that is calm as as the deep blue sea and as peaceful as the green fields of grass. Perhaps serenity?

Here are photographs of me and anything in blue green.

I call this pair my SERENITY Shoes.
Haha! Me in bluegreen (center) with my sisters. I know I didn't have a choice wearing that color because I was always  at the middle.

I kind of stopped wearing bluegreen since the start of this year and was stuck to grays and then I got crazy for seeing my closet looking so boring! Found no red, pink, orange and green. So i'm back to buying colors again. And I love the summer palettes in orange and magenta and of course blue and green! Color blocking!!

and oh by the way, some color meanings I found at this site.
