Pale Pink Pleated Dress
Summer: My inspiration for this look actually came from my yellow wedges which contains a mauve and pink printed ribbon tied on top of the foot. With yellow as being my complimentary color with the pale pink, I added a yellow cardigan and belt, and a vintage mauve necklace to keep the look bright and summery. This outfit would be a great look for work or even a summer date (which is the occasion I wore it for).
Fall/Winter: To transition this look into fall, I paired the pleated dress with one of my favorite neutrals, khaki. Of course you can pair this dress with black, but I thought khaki would be less harsh for autumn. In creating this outfit, I was envisioning myself at a Parisian café drinking a latte. The khaki blazer adds some sophistication to the feminine pleated dress. The oriental scarf, orange belt, and hat add an international flair while the suede boots enrich a cozy appeal.

Neon Green Jeans
Summer: A colored jean is a
must have for a fashionista. Colored
jeans can be worn numerous ways just as its normal blue jean cousin. As a summer look, I went full blown bright
with starting with my floral hoop earrings as the starting point. These earrings have multiple colors, so I
decided to choose a coral V-neck tee to compliment the neon green jeans. Then I added a neon yellow belt to add more
brightness. I toned down the finishing
look by wearing white wedges to match the base color in the earrings. With a top knot as the ultimate hairstyle to
show off those colorful earrings, I was ready for a casual date at the ice
cream parlor.
Fall/Winter: One way to winterize
neon jeans is by pairing it with black.
I chose a black and white striped sweater. To make the look even cozier, I decided to
add my black fur vest and black cowboy boots to embody the edginess of the get-up. If you don’t want to resort to black, neon
green also works well with navy, gray, or khaki as other neutral options.

Cobalt Blue Wide-Leg Pants
Summer: My inspiration for this outfit came from the bright combination of hues in a candy shop. With the cobalt blue pants as my base, I decided to pair the color with hot pink with a neon yellow belt and hot pink heels. What a great way to brighten up your wardrobe at work!
Fall/Winter: This fall cobalt blue is a color trend this
season. Designers have been combining
this color with black, so I decided to follow their lead and choose a sheer
black blouse with a floral black belt to add more femininity to the
ensemble. Patent leather stilettos further
the luxe romantic theme.
Mint Sweater
Summer: This past spring and
summer, mint green has been a main color trend.
Paying homage to this pale green tint, I mixed the mint mesh sweater
with crisp white skinny jeans and a teal skinny belt around the waist. The white fedora and white kitten heels finished
the preppy country club vibe I was visualizing.
Fall/Winter: Transitioning mint into fall can be
simple. Mint can be paired with black
(of course), but also navy, gray, and khaki.
However, I decided to be inspired by a certain ice cream flavor: mint
chocolate chip. I created a more casual
look by pairing the mint sweater with chocolate brown corduroy pants and suede
boots. For accessories, a peace pendant
necklace and knit hat works well in creating an autumn bohemian look. Wearing these heavier fabrics, positions mint
into a color that could be worn year round.
