Bright Blue in the Mix!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog

I hope everyone is having a happy Memorial Day celebration! 

This spring and summer season is all about bold color

For this post, I am shopping my closet 🛍

for outfits centered around bright, bold royal blue

I choose this color frequently, because I find it uplifting and I love to wear it

Royal blue is especially great in the springtime, with it's nautical vibe,

and I have plenty of the color in my wardrobe to chose from

My first outfit starts with a sleeveless fit and flare royal blue dress

This style and color are staples for me, that I wear all year round

I have worn this versatile dress in every season,

 alone with a few key accessories, as well as with a layer over or under it 

Today I am wearing the dress under a top

 with a large blue and white gingham print to give it a seasonal vibe!

 

Carrying my circular straw bag with the sea shell motif

for the first time this season,

and wearing a red and white scarf in my hair

For jewelry I chose a 1950's vintage white plastic expansion bracelet, 

silver tone knot motif bracelet, and star shaped stud earrings

It's almost summer, so time to break out the espadrilles!

A red and white striped pair with red laces

to finish the look 

My second outfit also features royal blue,

and items that I have been mixing and matching

from spring and summer seasons past

Blue short sleeve top tied at the waist

over a multicolored paint drip look print dress

Carrying a 1960's vintage  bright yellow patent leather bag

that I don't use often enough

It may get out of the closet more now,

 since yellow is a big fashion color this season

 I am seeing that a lot of bright color is trending into the fall, also

Glad to see Dopamine dressing continue to be so popular!

Gold tone jewelry for this outfit includes

open circle shaped earrings, a hinged bar bracelet 

and a special vintage locket with two love birds etched onto the front

Teal open toe cork wedge sandals to finish the outfit

These shoes have been in my giveaway pile several times,

but I always pull them back out 

They have a sort of retro look and the unusual color

draws them back to me!

The blouse in the first outfit seems to have become one of my summer holiday go-to's

Looking back, I noticed I wore it

in my Independence Day post styled with a favorite pair of white denim jeans

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
