Fuchsia

As far as brights go, fuchsia would have to be considered my most versatile. After purchasing this linen jacket from the Zara sale, I have wanted to wear it every day. And as you can see from Instagram, I have done almost that! It compliments primary colors, moody darks, and soft pastels. Although I have to credit my Nars Schiap lipstick with broadening the influence of the color "fuchsia" in my daily life. 

Have any lipsticks helped your color combining skills?

Fill in the Dots

My best friend's daughter, Ffion, and I were coloring in her Hello Kitty coloring book the other day and I found myself having a hard time choosing colors for the clouds, Hello Kitty's bow, and the flowers. Literally, I was getting ajada from a lack of color scheme! When did I lose creativity and imagination? It must have been when I discovered the "never have to think about it" blouse. This blouse, with all colors already included, creates your scheme and all you have to do is match up the shades! Thankyouverymuch.

Spring Fever

It might be because I am in North Carolina this week and it's a balmy 65 degrees, but I'm thinking spring! It's time to retire my tights and and recreate any of these warmer weather outfits...who's with me?

Spring Uniform

It's hard to believe (given the current weather), but couple weeks ago, it was sunny and 60 degrees. Therefore, I broke out what is sure to be my spring uniform - a jean jacket and some combination of cobalt, red/orange, and mint.

Jenny Crew

It's no surprise that I'm obsessed with J.Crew. I mean, what girl isn't?! Although the new arrivals feature more pastel colors than primary, mixing stripes & plaid, wearing men's shirts/sweaters, and doning gems every day can be almost 100% attributed to Jenna Lyons and is therefore, quintessentially J.Crew.

America!

Nothin' like a little American pride for your Monday. Coincidentally, this one word is also a memorable quote from Blaine in "Hot Tub Time Machine," which is one of my favorite movies, especially for one liners.

Something Blue

While I told myself (and my fiance) that I was going to buy these famous blue wedding shoes for our nuptials, I decided on a dress that didn't quite go with 'em. Even though I was going to budget monthly to afford the high price, I'm happy to have some extra bucks to spend on other accessories. But, since that need for something blue was still there, I went with these bow pumps at 1/20th of the cost!
