I love the traditional colors of the holiday season–green, red, white, silver and gold. But sometimes these colors are so strongly associated with the holidays, like red and green, it seems inappropriate to use them any other time. So when the end of the year rolls around, I take full advantage of these festive color pairings to spread my brand of holiday cheer.
Check out these pieces at my etsy shop.
