Vibrant

Nothing beats a warm and sunny weekend.  My parents came for a quick visit this past weekend and we spent a great weekend wandering around Brooklyn - eating, drinking, and taking in the sites.

Though I tend to stay away from silks in the summer because they tend to be too warm, I couldn't resist combining this vibrant jade green with equally vibrant coral shorts.

Combining red and green is generally reserved for the holiday season, but I found that by experimenting with different shades it doesn't have to feel too Christmas-y.

I maintained the colorful vibe down to my shoes.

After a terribly rainy start to the week, it's nice to think back on a beautiful weekend!

Fenced In

On a cold winter day I decided to punch up neutral black, white, navy and grey with a some strategic pops of bright colors.  Even though it's been unseasonably warm for most of the winter, I have to keep reminding myself that spring will be here before I know it.  I find colorful ensembles are a great way to do that.

The cobalt blue bag really punches against the darker navy.

I dug this white skirt out of the back of my closet and have been wearing it a ton ever since.  You can definitely wear white year round these days.

Who doesn't love pink shoes, especially these which are both menswear-inspired and whimsical at the same time.  These are extra special as they're the ones I wore on my wedding day!  I got married in the woods so heels weren't really an option.

The green shirt and pink belt added a dose of bright, almost neon color to the whole look.

It was quite windy day, I had a lot of trouble controlling my hair...and had to be extra careful with my skirt!
