Falling for Fall Colors

Sunday, September 29, 2013

Fall is officially upon us (as of one week ago). As much as I'm looking forward to wearing layers, it's hard to completely let go of summer. To compromise, I've been experimenting with wearing fall-like colors of burgundy and dark green as the weather fluctuates between slightly cool and slightly warm.

15 Ways to Wear Neon Pink

Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Neon pink is a color that I jumped on board with two summers ago. I figured it'd be a fun trend to try, but I'd quickly tire and move on to the next fad. For the most part, this was true. However, when summer rolls around the years since, I find myself reaching for this bright color time and time again.

Pink colors in general work well with blue shades. Like with my fuchsia pants, I wore neon pink quite often with navy. I also wasn't afraid to pair this bright pink with another bright color, but do make a conscious effort to balance out the rest of the outfit with neutrals.

For neon pink tees currently on the market, try: one, two, three. For neon pink gingham shirts currently on the market, try: one, two, three.

Stripes/Green/Red

Monday, September 23, 2013

I can't get enough of these red loafers! I tend to play it safe with my shoe choices, but these have been surprisingly easy (not to mention, comfortable) to pair with casual or dressy items in varying colors and patterns (also see previous two posts). So much so that I'm seriously considering breaking my no-duplicates-rule and buying a backup pair.

The sun glare was way too bright when I took photos for today's outfit, so I figured I'll color correct in Lightroom later. Unfortunately my skills aren't up to par =/ However, I did manage to capture the details via my iPod later on in the day.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
