Inspired by a color...

It has truly been too long since I have done one of my Makes My Heart Sing posts...  They were originally intended for Mondays... but Ive never been any good with sticking to a schedule.  So I think Ill bring them to the blog just whenever I feel inspired to do so.  This weeks post is inspired by...
Mustard has always been one of my favorite colors.  All of my favorites fall into the earthy or jewel tone categories.  So when the idea of autumn starts to roll around in my mind, these colors start flooding in.  Im slowly trying to build a new fall wardrobe as I can, and I keep gravitating towards this color.  Here is a collection of others who have further inspired this obsession.

  1. The last year or so I have been obsessed with mustard yellow. No idea why, but it seems like every item I reach for when I'm shopping is this color. Also love The Civil Wars! I've been listening to them a lot this week.

  6. I have a mustard jacket from Forever 21 that I just adore. I'm very much into earth tones...both in my clothing and home decor. Earthy/woodsy colors are my fave.
