Compelling Colors

Wearing bold colors can significantly impact your style and your mood. One of the greatest inspirations for Monika Roy dresses is the color palate of India. The richness of Indian fabrics and the beautiful colors remind of being younger and looking through my mother’s sarees or eagerly exploring Devon Avenue shops. Originating from exotic flowers and plants, the striking Indian color palate always lifts my spirits.

Gray and black, while subdued, can also be powerful colors. I enjoy mixing colorful accessories with darker colors. But left alone, darker colors can seem almost uniform-like. Black and gray absolutely have their place, and everyone has their favorite black dress. However, brighter colors (in the right hues) are less expected and make for exciting diversions. Venturing into beautiful blues, pinks, oranges and yellows (one of my favorites) allows you the opportunity to feel a little more unique and in touch with nature.
