Shades of Blue



Lately I’ve been gravitating towards light & soothing colors, particularly this blue & white combination.  Something about the pairing of these two shades says “summer is here” (I’ve even started a Pinterest board dedicated to this mix here).  I’ve always been a sucker for stripes (if I weren’t on a spending freeze, I would be scooping up this shirt in a heartbeat)…but I’m also loving the new floral, paisley & ikat prints in these calming hues.  I’ve rounded up my top favorites below, all under $50 and perfect for the season!


Gap Paisley Dress // Ann Taylor Striped Scarf // Joe Fresh Blazer // J. Crew Factory Dotted Bangle 
BaubleBar Blue Notre Bracelet // JCPenney Blue Chalcedony Bangle // Arden B Floral Stone Necklace 
Mango Tank Top // Merona Landra Print Espadrilles // Dorothy Perkins Blue Stone Earrings 
Gap Striped Shorts // American Apparel Blue Stacking Rings // Essie Blanc // Essie Avenue Maintain 
Blue Floral iPhone Case // C. Wonder Ikat Clutch // BaubleBar Tassel Earrings // Merona Vintage Print Scarf
Jeweliq Sky Bloom Necklace // Soludos Striped Espadrilles

    Those darn shopping freezes! I've never been good at them. I don't think I have a lot of blue. Maybe a pair of shorts and a blouse and that's it!
