I took it upon myself
to give a commenter to one of my posts, tips on adding color to her wardrobe.
One of the things I
shared with her is one my rules for a multi-colored garment such as this...
Pick the LEAST
Obvious Color,
And Accent.
When I first spied
this dress, in all of its bold splendor, Peach
is the color that caught my eye. [Navy could also be one that stands out, or Orange, or Tan
for that Matter!]
But,
That might be because
I LOVE Peach! Which is a cousin of Coral.
Today when I was
getting dressed, I saw my discarded White Pumps...
Ding, Ding, Ding! We
had a winner.
They were PERFECT to
illustrate my point.
I love the way the
white POPs out against my navy blazer.
And to add a funky
twist, I incorporated my fringed bag to the look.
I love the way it's a
cross between a satchel, with the long strap
Or a Boho Chic
tote...
So versitile...
So Me.
For work I toned down
the look with flats and my matching Peanut butter Carry-all.
Also a tote or
shoulder bag... I carry it as a tote though.
Navy Blazer: Forever 21
Warm-Hued Dress:Target
White Pumps: Charlotte Russe
Fringe Bag: Rue 21
Tan Lace-Up Sandals: Mia Brand via Piperlime
Peanut Butter Carry-all: Marshall's
Oh Yeah!
My Sperry's Came
Today!
They will make a Nice
Addition to replace my Leopard Loafers!
I liked the ALL
Leopard pair. But I wasn't about to pay $70 bucks!
I found these for
much cheaper! Score!

I know right! Sperry got on my nerves when they first hit the scene among teens last year. The preppy look was so in and I wondered why everyone was wearing those "ugly" shoes with buttoned-downs and skinny jeans. That was the uniform I saw EVERYwhere! Now I have a pair. Only takes the right VERSION of the shoe one first deemed as SO WRONG to change a person's mind!
DeleteLove the colors in that dress!! Is it sleeveless? Great advice on color. I sometimes struggle with color as well. I gravitate towards natural tones for some reason. I'm trying though!!!
ReplyDeleteNope, the dress is not sleeveless, its short sleeved. And the back has this criss-cross detail that sits right on the shoulders so it's kind of opened back there...Hence the blazer.
DeleteI should have done a few shots without the blazer, but the jacket is why this look works so well. I would have to style it TOTLLY different without it.
love that dress!!! girl I swear by TARJAY(target)!! lolol.. i will literally go there b4 I go to the mall. as you stated those Sperry's were sum kinda popular!! everyone was wearing them.. BUT now those right thurr(n my Tamar Braxton voice) are HOT!!! those make me want a pair n im sooooo not a Sperry type chic!!! but imma see now if i am tho!! lol
