I love: coral

When I was young, I feel like I filled out a lot of questionnaires asking for my favorite color. And I always felt super cool and different when I wrote none (before my vocabulary included none, I wrote 0 or -).

I don't have a favorite color. I think it's a case by case thing, like if there is a shirt available in two colors, I'll pick the color I prefer of the two (I don't have a favorite color but I do have colors I dislike). If I'm picking bedding or towels, I base it on the look I'm trying to achieve.

Simple as that. I'll never buy something because it's a certain color. It's all about the article itself and the look/feel I'm going for.

Why am I rambling on about this? Because now you understand that expressing my love of coral is a big deal. A really big deal.

This fall, I bought a coral coat. Again, only because the options were coral, green, beige, grey, or black and a) I already have a black jacket and a grey jacket, b) the green was that same shade as hospital scrubs aka no thanks, and c) beige washes me out. So I bought a coral coat. Here it is, actually:

This baby is the new love of my life. P.S. Don't freak out, I didn't pay $400 for it... I have my ways.
Well anyways, this gorgeous jacket (which always gets me compliments) sent me down a giant coral spiral. Case and point: notice the coral tidbits on this blog. I just think coral is a great pop of color! And it just so happens that you can have coral lipstick, coral nail polish, coral clothes, coral accessories, coral shoes...

But then I got this via Snapchat:

Eddie's over it.

So I guess it's time to go to coral rehab (according to Wikipedia, teal is my rehab, as the opposite of coral).

Anyways, here's a few coral faves of the moment:

Coral bridesmaid dresses! GREAT idea!
This cardi is adorbs with the lighter trim
Aldo says this is peach but I saw it in person and it was definitely a bright coral (I'm totally the coral police now)
Pop of coral in a necklace! I'm telling you, the possibilities of coral are endless!
Coral bedding. Don't think I wouldn't. Plus it's an ikat pattern, which is another obsession of mine.


Or maybe I'll just sip tea out of a coral cup with coral-colored nails.
Not gonna lie, I hoped this post would cure my coral craze, but the more I see it, THE MORE I LOVE IT.
