today's fbff questions from katy at modlychic are about working colors into your wardrobe.  my answers are below and i would love to hear what colors are dominating your closet...

1. What color dominates your closet?
navy and gray are most likely tied.  i love keeping lots of basics in these two neutrals.  i'm not much for black and brown, and tan typically drown out my pale complexion, so i tend to stick with navy and varying shades of gray.  otherwise my closet is a rainbow of colors; with a few pieces in multiple shades.

2. If money weren't an issue how would you change the color emphasis in your closet?
if money weren't an issue i would buy bolder patterns and brighter pieces constantly.  in my real budgeted world, i spend money on investment pieces, which are typically in colors that i don't have to fear will go out of style.  always safe with navy!  if money was no object i would buy every funky print that crossed the runway.

3. What is your mantra about mixing colors?
the more the better!  i love colors. i love patterns.  i love mixing patterns together.  you have to play with colors until you see what works together.  sometimes the strangest combinations just work.  teal and burnt orange, yellow and magenta...you just never know until you try it on.

4. For you, how do you incorporate color into your outfits?
as any reader of my blog knows, i am drawn to statement jewelry, colored tights and vibrantly colored scarves.  these are such easy ways to incorporate big bursts of color into any ensemble.  it's a great way to play it safe for the office or for dressier events by adding some color to a toned-down outfit. 

5. Which blogger(s) do you think do a good job of incorporating color into their wardrobe?
hands down, beth jones is my color queen.  this lady knows how to work with color and her color blocked outfits are a constant inspiration.
