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!
