Not Your Average LBD

Hey lovebugs,
Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I met up with Rosa and Sara for brunch on Sunday, alway fun to hang out with those ladies.

Today I thought we would look at some LBDs. But not what you're thinking. Today we're talking a little blue dress. The perfect alternative to a standard black cocktail or wear to work dress.

Loft, Gathered Waist Sleeveless Dress, $69

A beautiful deep blue with a great side waist belt that will flatter any shape. I also love this dress because you can pair it with ANY shoe.

Nordstrom, Suzi Chin for Maggy Boutique Pleated Dress, $78

A great price for a Suzi Chin dress. This dress is almost sculptural. I love it.

Shabby Apple, I'm Late! I'm Late!, $94

While I'm not sure how this woman ended up in the middle of the enchanted forest with a tea cup, I love this boatneck and lace sleeved dress!

Old Navy, Boatneck Dolman Sweater Dress, $44

That's right Old Navy. This expensive looking sweater dress, is just screaming for some neon accessories. 

The little blue dress is a great option for fall. It's an unexpected change for work or for a night out.

Ocean Hues

Today I wanted to talk about ocean hues. Blues, turquoise and greens that remind us that warm weather is just around the corner.

Lucky Brand, Ocean Ikat Scarf, $49

I really like the blend of colors on this scarf, I'd use it all spring and summer with a white sundress, and now on the nicer days, I'd tie to my purse for a burst of color.

Modcloth, Dock Star Heel, $62

Great and sweet heel. A navy shoe is rare with this type of personality.

Ann Taylor, Easy Scoop Neck Sweater, $68

Great cobalt color, very easy to accessorize with punchy neons.

Great mix of color and materials, very easy to pair with jeans and a tee.

Cobalt

Cobalt is a hugely popular color for winter. It's fabulous because it's so saturated and rich looking. It's a nice break from navy.

J Crew, Skinny leather belt, $34

This reminds me of something very chic and mod.

Mad men beautiful, I'd pair it with a silky tie blouse.

I really like the cropped sleeves and single button on this jacket. It makes for an easy fit.

Blue and Yellow

Hey lovebugs,
As you know it's football colors week here on TCB.  I'm going through my favorite teams and using their uniform colors for inspiration.  Today we're talking blue and yellow for the West Virginia Mountaineers.  The BF loves college football, where I'm more of an NFL girl, but his fave team is West Virginia.

Nordstrom, Adrianna Pappell Ruffle Blouson Dress, $93

Oh this design is so special, the dress is soft and feminine without being overly sweet.

Shabby Apple, Bellissima, $78

I think you could get a few more wears out of this sunshine-y dress before it gets chilly.  I might even pair it with some brown flat knee high boots.

Old Navy, Printed zip-front cardigan, $34

The zipper front is different and interesting, I like the stripes too.

Zara, V-neck jumper, $16

Simple and classic, great v neckline, and just lovely for fall.

Blue and yellow is classic.  It can be considered preppy or even nautical, but when worn correctly it is crisp and professional too.
