Worn Two Ways: Citrus

I'm kind of obsessed with citrus-y hues like citron and grapefruit lately.  And I'm even more obsessed with wearing them together.  So much so, that I've recently worn them together two different ways:

The first outfit was for a Sunday brunch:

Top: LOFT (similar)  Skirt: thrifted (similar) 
Earrings: via Crafty Wonderland (similar) Shoes: Lollipops (similar)

Changing the look up for work required more grapefruit (because of course), so I added the cardigan. I also swapped out the earrings for a less dramatic pair:

Top: LOFT (similar)  Cardigan: Target
Skirt: thrifted (similar)  Shoes: Lollipops (similar)

To be honest, I liked both looks equally.  The colors pair well and, I think, look so fresh with the white.  But, what about you, Reader Friends?  Which outfit is your favorite?


Happy Wednesday, All!

It's Not Red, It's Fiesta!

My sweater is not red:

It's Fiesta!!  At least that's what Pantone says.  And I'm not going to argue because calling this sweater Fiesta (!) makes this outfit sound more interesting than it probably is.



Which isn't to say it's boring.  The combination of fiesta (!) and olive is a fairly interesting one.  And the non-matching-but-totally-going scarf is fun:

But, it's mostly the sweater:

Sweater: LOFT  Scarf: secondhand (similar)
Pants: Gap   Shoes: Steve Madden 'Eleanorr' Flats

Because, well, Fiesta!



Happy Friday, All!

Cobalt + Peach

InStyle magazine assured me in their latest issue that cobalt and peach are a good idea for spring.  So, I decided to give it a try:

And, I gotta tell you, if I hadn't read that article, I don't think I ever would have paired these two colors together.


Even after doing it, I'm still a little skeptical:

It's not that I think it looks bad, but my eyes are having a hard time adjusting to these two colors together.


I mean, cobalt and tangerine, sure.  But, cobalt and peach?  I'm just not sure that I'm one hundred percent sold on the idea:

Sweater: sold out Anthropologie (sort of similar here and here)
Pants: Gap (similar)  Shoes: v. old Corso Como (similar)

But, I'm glad I gave it a shot.  It's good to wander outside of your comfort zone sometimes.


Happy Monday, All!

Pastels and Earth Tones

These colors probably shouldn't be paired together, but I did it anyway:

I mean, pastels and earth tones?  What was I thinking...



And yet, I swear this totally works:

Or not.  I'm not an expert on color combinations that make sense.  No, I'm better at those color combinations that make no sense at all.


Like pastels and earth tones together:

Pants: LOFT (similar)  Top: TJ Maxx (similar)
Cardigan: LOFT  Earrings: Modcloth, sold out (similar)
Shoes: FRYE (exact) (similar) (vegan option)

That's my specialty.


Happy Friday, All!
