Purple and White!

It's the last day of color combos; what did you think? Do you have any fave color combinations that I missed?

Today is purple and white.  This pairing is so crisp and light for summer.

Rugby, Blythe silk ruffle top, $65

I love these ruffles, and I bet this silky fabric is perfect for summer.  I would pair it with this...

Nordstrom, Halogen pencil skirt, $59

I love the saturated color in this skirt.

Modcloth, Lovely Legend Dress, $48 (one left!!)

Somebody please buy this beautiful dress. And pair it with these...

Steve Madden, Gramicy, $42

I need these shoes.  Kitten heel, bow, purple, omg.

Lord & Taylor, Violet Beaded embroidered peasant blouse, $55

I love the sleeve and hem detail.  I would pair this with these shorts for a Saturday outside...

Old Navy, Diva clean front bermudas, $27

I really like the tab button waist on these, and the simple pockets are undistracting which is nice for bermudas.

What do you think about this color combination? Probably one of my favorites.  Tomorrow I'll be back for Friday Foodday! Let me know if you have any recipes to share.

Be fabulous today!

Guest Post: Travel Needs

Hey lovebugs! Taking a quick vacation (ha!) from color combo week for a fabulous guest post that I couldn't wait to put up! Check back tomorrow for the last of the color combos!

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to be guest posting today on TCB! I've been a longtime reader of Kelsey's blog. I read her blog weekly for inspiration and styling tips. To start you off, when I travel my favorite thing is to be as comfortable as possible, but looking effortlessly chic. I got the inspiration for this travel wardrobe from fashion blogger, Liz of the fashion blog, Late Afternoon. Her look is what I envisioned for a summer trip with a few essentials of my own listed below. Read on!

Orange and Blue!

It's day two of color combination week.  Today let's try what was my favorite color on my braces as a kid (yeah it's ok to get the visual) orange and blue!

Limited, Wavy Ruffle Halter, $49

So fun for summer, and even better with a tan.  Pair is with these...

Old Navy, Roll up utility shorts, $23

The details on these shorts are fabulous.  The roll up, the scoop pockets.  Just great.

Nordstrom, Halogen seamed knit pencil skirt, $45

The perfect blue pencil, even more perfect with a great orange blouse...

Neiman Marcus, Tiered Shoulder Top, $45

Such a great casual top with a scoop neck worthy of a simple Jess LC necklace.

 

Topshop, Asymmetric chiffon dress, $64

This a gorgeous summer evening, I'd pair it with some bold earrings...

Bloomingdales, Aqua and coral earrings, $28

These are fabulous.  For dresses, for jeans, for summer.

What are you thinking about orange and blue?  I love this combination for summer because it's so easy to throw on a go.

Red and Yellow!

You know sometimes you need a pick me up for a Monday.  And I'm here to give that to you.  This week is going to be about color combinations.  Now I'm not talking your usual nautical theme or cream combo, I'm talking flashier, more fun, and more exciting, because that is what getting dressed up is all about!

Each day this week I will feature a new color combination, today's is red and yellow!

Modcloth, Lemon Sour Dress, $55

The ruffles, the folds, the belt! So fabulous! I'd pair it with red earrings and these shoes...

Forever 21, Classic bow heels, $23

How sweet are these little heels? Perfect for a day out.

J Crew, Seersucker shorts, $48

I'm loving these seersuckers. Pair it with this blouse...

Jones NY, tie waist cardigan, $59

Aren't you loving this outfit for errands, yellow seersucker shorts with this? Adorable!

Topshop, red button through skirt, $45

This skirt is so fluttery and perfect.  Pair it with this belt and a white scoop neck tee.

Asos, Obi wrap belt, $23

Obi belts are fabulous for highwasited skirts. Especially in this bold color.

Isn't red and yellow fun? It's like the biggest breath of fresh air, even on a Monday.  

Be fabulous today!
