B's View: Color Clash

I love finding new and unexpected color combinations.  It is like a silent challenge from the universe...and I say, you are on!  The only way to really find the right mix is to experiment but here are a couple of color combos that I dig! ~ B

Bright Orange and Maroon

Maroon Blazer - LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls
Tangerine Tulip Dress - Target Clearance!!!  (try this dress!)
Black Strap Wedges - Bandolino

AND Navy and Black

Black Blazer - NY&C
Navy Ponte Dress - Simpy Vera by Kohls

Work Wardrobe: Falling for Floral

Fun with Florals!  (If you watch The League you know where I got that, haha)  I am still obsessed with Oxblood or it's more casual synonym, maroon.  Plus oxblood makes me think of playing the Oregon Trail in grade school but I digress (of dysentery).  I really love reinventing a classic combination and this time I played with the fool-proof and flattering combination of the button-up shirt and pencil skirt. 

Instead of a button up I chose a v-neck, ruffled, and floral blouse.  There is a lot going on up top so everything else really needed to remain simple and coordinated.  I chose a navy pencil skirt instead of the classic black.  Top (or bottom) that off with oxblood tights and brown booties for an unexpected ensemble.  The floral print and softer color combos create a more feminine Fall look.  ~B

Maroon Floral Top - Elle for Kohls
Navy Pencil Skirt - The Limited (I have had this staple for at least 6 years and still get good use out of it!)
Oxblood Tights - Simply Very by Vera Wang for Kohls
Brown Booties - a TJ Maxx clearance purchase

Work Wardrobe: Breaking All of the Rules

I was feeling rebellious today.  Breaking one of the most basic fashion rules...I wore navy and black together...and I liked it!  When it is done right, it can make for a seriously chic outfit.  ~B
