Pantone's Princess Blue


I love all shades of blue, and am glad to see one of Pantone's color picks
for this spring is Princess Blue
 Princess Blue is a deep, rich and bright shade, a new name for royal blue!


This first outfit is made up of two pieces that have both
 been in my wardrobe for over five years
  The sleeveless fit and flare dress was called royal blue back when I purchased it


The cardigan, with it's stripes and flowers in shades of blue and green
 pre-dates the current trend of mixing these two prints 
Think twice before you "Kondo" classic pieces out of your closet
because what goes around, comes back around!


For jewelry, I wore a muted gold tone choker necklace
and wreath stud earrings


Green tooled leather beat and a blue-green round handle bag to accessorize


Two-toned reptile embossed sling back Mary Janes complete this look


Next, two more classic pieces that pre date the Princess Blue title
so I'll just call them royal
The shirt is a graphic circle print in royal, navy and white
and the pencil skirt is, well, really blue!


Accessorizing with yellow oval enamel cuff bracelet
and blue faceted glass stud earrings


Carrying my vintage 1960's yellow box bag


Nude pumps to finish the look



Lastly, a short sleeve print wrap dress featuring the blue hue of the moment,


along with red, pink, white and black


Shiny silver tone disc necklace
and a heart charm link bracelet


Featuring another of my favorite 1960's vintage box bags
this one in red vinyl


I finally unpacked my spring and summer shoes and am delighted
to put these red and white striped espadrilles back in rotation


Hope everyone is enjoying technicolor spring blooms
in your corner of the world!


Linking up with Patti at Visible Monday and Ada at Thursday Moda

Stunning print on that cardigan. I think the princess blue is the new version of cerulean blue... those Pantone people are certainly messing with my head.
I love you are letting your hair grow :) It looks so nice D-

That royal blue is beautiful and paired with the yellow... even better! Love your styling of the skirt with the cardigan.
