Don't Be Afraid to Show a Little Color Underneath!

So sometimes there are occasions where showing off a little of your bra strap can be cute, classy and fabulous...but please note, this is not something to be done often and it can go downhill very fast if not worn in a tasteful manner! A color that compliments your outfit is best...no nude and no white showing no matter what! I also recommend a little lace as it adds a nice feminine element. 

This particular dress by GLAM, with its unique back, I felt totally called for some fun, flirty color underneath! The coral and green bralette is from Anthropologie.

Earrings are handmade by an artist from Charleston, SC.

On warm evenings like this one, make it easy and throw hair up in a loose, low knot. Then when you're back in the A/C and let your hair down, there's a nice wave to it!

I was totally drawn to the gorgeous colors and patterns of this dress! Plus I'm adoring the high-low trend in dresses (like this one) and skirts.

A Pop of Yellow on a Rainy Day in Baltimore

For those in the Baltimore-DC area, we've had a rainy past few days...which always reminds me of the classic Counting Crows song "Raining in Baltimore." Gotta love Counting Crows! 

Anyways, on this particular cloudy, rainy day, I decided to add a pop of color with a bright yellow blazer. And it totally goes back to my love of citrus colors this season! I'm also loving the color blocking trend right now and this skirt by Collective Concepts demonstrates it just right!

I've found myself drawn to skirts with pleats just like this one...they seem to add a little extra pizzazz!

Yellow blazer - Very J; Striped blouse - Glam; Purse -  Poppy & Stella

Bow belts are so cute and I thought this one really "tied" the whole outfit together!

So lesson learned today...don't let a rainy day bring you down...just brighten it up with lots of color and fun trends...and before you know it Mr. Sun will be out to play again!!
