Baby Blues

June 23rd, 2011

J.Crew Hat, Elizabeth and James Sunglasses, J.Crew Top, Rebecca Minkoff Bag, American Apparel Skirt, Vintage Belt, Christian Louboutin Heels, Maybelline ‘Coral Crush’ Lipstick

I love combining different colors in one outfit (like aqua + orange, pink + red, blue + purple), but there’s something about a monochromatic look that always feels fresh. This ribbed royal blue skirt has such a nice weight to it and is balanced out nicely by a worn-in striped tee. Since the two blues don’t match perfectly, it doesn’t feel too matchy-matchy, especially when paired with gold shoes that are my equivalent of ruby slippers.

    The skirt is just…wow. At first, I was not so found of the stripey tee, but after looking at it again, it did look better. And blue always look good on blondes. :)

    How adorable you look in that dress! The skirt could have easily overwhelmed you, especially in that electric blue color and the pleats, but you played it very well. And, love how you make the whole look delicate with your golden Louboutin heels! Ahem, and what can I say about the belt – except, I need!!!

    Best,

    It´s so funny, you hate the Gallo Pinto! hahaha. I never have GP for breakfast, only when I’ am on vacation (Guanacaste…) Or traveling for the country (So funny)
    I love your concepts about fashion and cook. It´s not a usually combination…
