Shades of Blue

Oh blue how I do adore you! Blue is a great color for Winter and transitions perfectly into the Summer. I haven't heard a lot of people say blue looks bad on them and I don't recall thinking blue ever looked bad on someone. It's a great color for all skin tones and hair colors. Lets see how to spice up your wardrobe with a little bit of that oh so mysterious, yet innocent blue.

Denim has made its come back in the past couple of years, and I don't see it going out of style any time soon. A popular piece has been a light washed denim button up, easily paired with a darker denim trouser or cute white shorts like shown above, but why stop there when you can have a denim romper. You see them everywhere, all styles and colors, and this one adds an embellished bow. I know not all could pull this off and I can admit I am one that could not, but I know there are some that would look fabulous!

Who doesn't love a great maxi dress? Definitely comfortable and can be dressed up or down. A must for your closet is a simple solid maxi, like this blue one from modcloth.com. The best part about this one is it has a cinched waist, accentuating your waist will flatter your body type, you don't want to look frumpy. Anyone going to the beach? If so, grab this beauty! Imagine a nice dinner shore side with your sweetie. The chiffon will flow nicely with the ocean breeze, but the shape will fit like a glove. You have the best of both world here!

With Spring around the corner I assume most of you will have at least one wedding shower to attend, meaning you will be rummaging through your closet for something to wear. Not overly dressy and still keeping things simple, these looks are perfect for an after event. Just like our maxi dresses these looks accentuate your waist, flattering your figure, but keeping things tasteful.

Chevron could easily be named the most popular print for 2011. This Missoni inspired print dress adds a punch of color, but keeps cool with the deep tones. A perfect choice for an evening event or a dressy day at the office. I love this cerulean blue pleated skirt, but am not in love with how they have it paired. For Spring dress this cute little piece up with a chiffon top and a trendy pair of heels. If you want to pull it off for Winter wear a fitted long sleeve shirt, tucked in of course, and a pair of tall heeled boots.

The cerulean blue bow tie blouse really transforms the business lady. Always keep a chic professional look while at the office, because you are always branding yourself! The floral print blouse is another look that can be dressed up or down. In this picture it is shown with a pair of worn denim shorts, but wearing it with a pair of clean trendy bottoms would be just as pleasing.

Aztec prints make for a great casual day piece. A slouchy fit top with a fitted skinny jean keeps you both comfortable and stylish.

Beach attire at its best. This one shoulder ruffle top is a great evening piece. Pair with skinny jeans and chunky earrings and you are photog ready. I especially love this racer back casual tank. The front buttons and double straps add a unique quality to the top. Great for a day of outdoor shopping.

Shoes

Blue suede shoes, in this case a fantastic heel. Wearing a neutral colored outfit can be made fabulous with a bold shoe and accessories. Don't be afraid to branch out your shoe collection! With summer comes errands and an essential for your closet is a comfortable shoe. You can still stay stylish with this light blue Vans. I absolutely love them and have put them on my must have list!

Aqua and gold, two colors that were made for each other. These earrings can take a casual outfit up a notch, not too big, but enough to be noticed. My personal favorite earring type is a great stud and that is why I am really liking this navy flower studs. Simple with a bit of texture.

What dainty little pieces. A watch is the perfect accessory, both stylish and functional. I love the royal blue textured strap with gold trim. Wearing a unique watch is sure to get a few compliments, wear them daily and look for color, just like you would a necklace. I'm sure a lot of you have a skinny black and brown belt, go ahead and add a couple colors to that collection. This is an easy way to add a slight pop of color to a neutral outfit.

Go ahead, add another bag to your collection. You can never have to many right? I know what your thinking right now, how much you need them and how cute they would look with that new dress you just bought. All three of them are great finds. We have a clutch, a little coin bag and an over sized faux leather bag, easily carried by the strap or handles. 

Now with all that said, I am not responsible for what shopping urges you may have right now and may act on in a few minutes. Well I may take a little bit of the blame, but these were such fabulous finds! Thanks for reading, be inspired and create!
