Dressing Up With Joy: How to wear bold accessories

May 9, 2013

Spring Color Blocking

Cobalt, cerulean, indigo or royal blue - whatever you call the sophisticated, saturated, deep shade of blue, it remains the top color for Spring/Summer every year. Reminding us of oceans and skies and pleasant cool breeze, it is the color of peace and tranquility. To play up the moodiness of blue, try color blocking with bright variations of blue - icy mint, sapphire and turquoise, with a playful splash of coral, fuchsia and chartreuse, and you get today's outfit!

Top - JollyChic.com (It was originally as two-piece jacket and top combination, but I decided to just wear the top and leave the jacket for another outfit)

Good option - Mango

These color block sandals are from Avon - yes, the same company you trust for makeup, hair and skincare products!! They have some great Spring pieces for your wardrobe - go check them out here!

The bag is from Jessica Simpson via TJMaxx, a great option is this one for just $22!

Minty Nails (excuse my fugly fingers!)

Back To Basics With Bright, Bold Accessories

Try saying it two times faster! Jokes aside, the best way to update a basic outfit combination is to play with the accessories. And what's more basic than white shirt and blue jeans? You can dress it up or down with a high heels or flip flops, depending on the occasion. I love this peplum style silk shirt from wholesale-dress.net for its simplicity and versatility. Paired with a blue skinny jeans, this outfit has a lot of styling options. Today I am amping it up with bright summer accessories. The fuchsia peep toe shoes from MyHotShoes are the perfect choice to dress up any outfit and a total steal for just $22.99! BTW, as a reader of this blog, you can get 20% discount on any of your MyHotShoes.com order with the coupon code DELIGHT2. A great deal over all, wouldn't you say?
