Brown was once one of my least favorite colors. It was just so... blah. And then suddenly, a few years ago, I suddenly found myself slowly developing a liking for it. I don't know why. I don't know what sparked it. Maybe an appreciation for the less "exciting" colors is something that comes with age. Perhaps it is a sign that I have matured.
Whatever the reason, I like brown. It's such a versatile color. It can be rich and enticing, like chocolate. Or warm and inviting, like a cup of tea. It can be sturdy like oak or deep like mahogany. But brown always makes me think of things that are earthy and natural - trees, fallen leaves, acorns, squirrels... The bracelet above is an homage to all those things and my ode to (un)boring brown.
