Mandarin & Magenta

Tuesday, June 7, 2011






I admit, when I bought this punchy skirt I anticipated wearing it more often than I do. (I mean, it’s totally fun right?!) Luckily, I found this top on consignment over the weekend and it basically begged for a colorblock pairing, allowing me another opportunity to don le skirt. The dilemma, though – what shoes does one wear with such a bright ensemble? I opted for the most excellent, go with everything pair of taupe platforms (courtesy of Wanted). The shade is perfect for those times when you need a brown-ish that’s not too heavy or a tan that’s not too yellow.

Speaking of yellow... the sunset on this day, though amazingly beautiful, was a sweltering 93 degrees - even the breeze was hot. (Not that I’m complaining, I’ll take heat over this any day.) How's your summer so far?

  10. Love this color blocking - it looks great! We're getting hit with a ton of heat here (I am, personally, not a hot weather person at all so I'm insanely uncomfortable and not a little grumpy).
