A Pop of Color

This summer is all about bright colors. Wearing fun, bright colors always seems to set the tone for a fun, bright mood. Whether it’s an accent belt or an accent skirt- it’s all fair game!

I love this J. Crew neon mini. It’s perfect in so many ways. And…prepare yourself… it was a clearance find! It pairs nicely with this Free People crop top…which was also on sale! I think a frilly, more neutral top helps to tone down the ‘wow effect’ of the skirt.
 I love the detailed cuff (a Forever 21 buy that I find myself throwing on all the time- so versatile!). I couldn't finish this outfit without my favorite Steve Madden platforms- a Dillard’s clearance find I’ll forever thank myself for!  It’s amazing how many things you can find on clearance/sale if you just wait it out (especially at big name department stores!)… :)
And of course…next come the colored jeans! They’re everywhere and make for some lovely color blocking opportunities. I love the pale yellow skinnies with a teal sleeveless blouse and a pop-of-color neon belt. The detail at the neckline of this shirt edgy but feminine. Of course, I threw this outfit with my favorite platforms!
I couldn’t leave out the summer staple- white jeans. White jeans are lovely with a bright top, like this coral one. We forgot the earrings in the photo, but I love this outfit with these turquoise earrings from Val’s Boutique! Perfect color combo.
Lastly- who doesn’t need a swimsuit cover-up?! A J. Crew Outlet sale find, this cover-up is just casual enough for a day at the pool but just colorful enough to catch your eye. And don’t forget your floppy hat- to keep your skin beautiful and style sassy. :)



Stay colorful!
