A Multitude of Blues for Spring

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog!

I'm not talking about a blue mood here, 

but the many shades of the color blue that are trending for spring

  There is a shade for everyone in the shops and online now!

Of course, there is Very Peri,

 the blue-violet color chosen by Pantone as the color of the year,

and lots of shades of blue and purple, too

 Other blue hues shown at the New York Fashion Week spring/summer show 

are Spun Sugar, a clear, pale pastel blue, Glacier Lake, a soft medium blue, 

 Harbour Blue, a shade of teal, and Skydiver, which is in the navy/royal blue family

 The popularity of all of these shades of blue and purple seems to point to

  a great need to calm our collective spirit

For this post, I chose two outfits in a mix of blue hues

My first outfit is a bright blue soft jacket 

The jacket is layered over a multi color cropped lace blouse

 of Very Peri, Glacier Blue, black and ivory

Worn with black straight leg ankle crop trousers 

Mixed blues

I received this quilted half circle bag with the chunky chain handle

as a gift from my husband for Christmas-so cute!

It matches so nicely with the shoes I'm wearing, too  

Mixing a few decades with the blue tones in my accessories today

I chose a vintage 1940's wrap blue bead and faux pearl bracelet

and 1950's gold tone leaf 🍃 motif clip on earrings

Also in the mix is a wired crinkle scarf/hairband 

I think I am going to look back on the photos of this time

and the thing that will stand out most is all of the hairbands!

It's a trend that I have really embraced

Two tone black and tan sling back 

spectator pumps to finish the look

Another bluesy outfit and another headband!

This outfit features a wild geometric print silk blouse from Michael Kors

The colors area bright blue and white on a navy blue background 

This blouse has a flattering wide boat neckline and full elbow length sleeves 

Worn with a long, full skirt in what Pantone would currently label Skydiver Blue 

Always down for a swishy skirt!

Accessorizing with a wide, distressed metallic silver belt

and what do you know-a hairband! 

Silver tone jewelry to complement the belt buckle

A multi band, open cuff bracelet and hoop earrings

Carrying a light tan 70's vintage fringed bag

that seems to fit the boho vibe of the outfit

Taupe cross strap block heels to finish the outfit

I love wearing blue, and their are lots of shades in my closet-

here's a royal blue dress from spring, 2018

Garden blooms in shades of blue and purple

Hope everyone has a good week!
