Yellow and Blue

Certain color palettes become rather addictive. Take, for example, blue and yellow. For summer, the two colors paired together are instantly bright, chic and refreshing. When I saw a similar outfit with similar pieces (a blue floral top and striped yellow skirt) on another blog, I knew I wanted to give my own interpretation a try. I think it turned out pretty well, but how can you go wrong with blue and yellow? It's always an instant win!

Speaking of color palettes and matching things together, this leopard bag from Clare V. has become my go to bag when I don't think any other colors in my bag collection will work with what I have on. For example, with today's ensemble I decided that using a yellow or blue bag would be just too much of the same colors. I contemplated brown, but that seemed kind of boring, so the leopard won by default. I am staring to really buy into the idea of leopard as a neutral, although it may sound absurd!

    Yet another beautiful floral+stripes look Katie, like usually you have perfected this mixed-prints style. That gorgeous necklace matches perfectly and I love that you added the fabulous cheetah clutch for a third pattern. Happy 4th of July Week!

      I'm glad I found another one on the side of leopard being a neutral! I honestly think men are the only ones who think differently, or at least my husband does!

    This is amazing! I adore yellow and blue, but I never would have dreamt of mixing florals and stripes with this...but it works so perfectly :)
