I am a victim of shying away from color, so once again I’m resolving to wear more P.O.C.s (pops of color) in any way I can. Julep.com sent over an awesome kit with these two hues in it, and it happens to match some art in my house. The pink and blue are totally not something that I’d pick up on the Rite Aid down the road, but they are encouraging me to make my nails the into a new accessory.
So, pink and blue you will be part of my wardrobe (sneakily on my fingertips) and not full-on outfits like in the editorials above, but let’s make those goals to move towards. One step at a time, one step at a time….
Well, gonna give these new colors a lil pat on the back for making me add some life into my black & neutral wardrobe! Pat. Pat.

It’s no secret that I love to wear black, but the ultimate is not an LBD for me, its a maxi skirt. No, I’m not hiding anything under there or trying to look like a school teacher – with the right material and styling a maxi can elongate my shorty silhouette and not make me look stumpy dumpy.
Totally in love with black maxis – dress or skirt, pleated or asymmetical, sheer or solid. My fave which I’m suuuuuper excited about is my new American Apparel chiffon maxi skirt (also a more sheer version here) – It’s so comfy, flowy, and a wardrobe staple.
Go work your magic.

Thinking about the year… what would I do without my blazers? Not gonna lie, I have started a small blazer collection over the past months. I do not have a sequin lad, but definitely pondered the thought.
Jessica from Vintage Virgin
After seeing Vintage Virgin in this striped blazer, I’m kicking myself for returning that Whitney Eve one b/c I thought I looked like a basketball ref. Jess, piled on so many baubles that it’s far from just one whistle.

Ok, so had to throw in a black ensemble, but this one has mega-major-cajunga shoulder pads! Swoooooon.
Liz from Late Afternoon
The next solid edition would be a kelly green or a cobalt blue, but digging how the different shades of green on Liz just beam of summer awesomeness.

Blush? Check. Arm fiesta gathering = work in progress.
Sandra from 5 Inch and Up
Why is there not a TopShop in LA yet? Come on! I’m slowly being sympatheic towards flowers this year, since I did “resolve” in 2011 to try more colors and prints. I have one floral skirt but mostly started a love affair with leopard. So maybe the floral revival will be in 2012 for my closet ? – but it can’t be too girly. Side note: Sandra totally reminds me of Chloe Sevigny in this pic.
Betty from Le Blog de Betty
In the naaaaaa-vy! Dah, da, da, dah ha! Bold shoulders = fabulous. Good thing its not red, otherwise I would have to have veered from it being a ring master and all….But I like it.
Leandra from The Man Repeller
The silver bullet of them all. This is another kicker. I had reservations about a bronze blazer at Zara a few months ago, went back to get it, and it was dunzo! Doh. Now I see this pic and really just have to shake my head. Next time, just go with it if it catches your eye. Lesson learned.

Growing up in AZ, I never was super fond of hats since it’s typically hot 9 months out of the year and sweaty hair isn’t too attractive. So when I moved to New York, and seasons broke me into head gear, now I’m diggin all the fedora hats this season. I’m looking for a black fedora, that can act as my staple hat and go with anything. After seeing this gorg editorial, I think it’s a pretty done deal.
Right?
