B E I G E & B R O W N 👢

Ahhhh November….can you believe we are already into the second to last month of this wildering year? Although these last few months we have had our ups and downs test us completely, individually and wholly, this month ahead is one to show our appreciation, gratuity and thankfulness, not only to ourselves but to each other. And with Thanksgiving being right around the corner, it is our way to fully express these traits. I mean, this should be done everyday not just solely in the ‘Month of Thanks’, you know what I mean?

Usually, at this time, we have fully embraced the cooler weather. Unless you are in New England where Mother Nature likes to play tricks on us sporadically with 70 degrees days like today. If you are from the Boston area like me, you never know what to expect…. snow or sun and that actually goes for all four seasons because they seem to all combine as one at any given time lol. But even so, this is actually the time we call ‘sweater weather.’ Boots and heavy jackets are what line our closets and our summer clothes are a mere glimpse in a bin tucked away until the following year. The crispness in the air tells us that we are closing in on the wintry months ahead and cuddling on the couch with a good ole cup of hot chocolate in our jammies, seem to be our weekend nightly ritual. What’s not to like about all those things though, really?

To me, November exhibits gentle, comforting, inviting, colors like browns & tans. Thanksgiving is a holiday usually spent with family and loved ones, so it’s no wonder November exuberates these colorful familial attributes too. Brown is made up of its own entity whereas tan is a combo of brown and white mixed together. So, what is it about these colors and the reason I picked them for this month’s Kolor Me Karla tones? Just like their color counterparts, November is all about togetherness. ‘It’s all about healing and the home, grounding and foundations,’ & maintaining our important relationships and friendships.

‘Brown, in its full form, is natural and neutral; the color of reliability, elegance, and security. Considered dull to some at times, it also represents simplicity, friendliness, dependability and health. The color brown effects the mind and body by creating feelings of wholesomeness and peace. It also provides cozy feelings of relaxation and warmth.’ Here’s to binge watching our fav Netflix series, with our glass of wine in tow, either with our significant other or gal pals, enjoying each other’s company in the comfort of our own home. Hell yeah, that sounds like the perfect date night to me!

And although we are starting to enter into the dark, cold days of winter, this month’s birthstone, the precious Topaz with its radiant yellow tint, gives us a little hope that the summer sun will soon return to us. But in the meantime, let’s enjoy all that November has to offer with Going to Town with all that Brown and going nuts over our Beige Rage! Hope you like what I shared with you and our inspo for this month’s Kolor Me Karla Series!!
