Summer Weekend Dress + LINKUP

summer wrap dressI hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I wanted to talk about summer style and the color combos that always work for a seasonal and stylish look. My favorite for summer is navy and white with a hint of red!
But how to wear three colors at once without looking overwhelming?

It’s easy! Pick one of the three as your base. This will be your staple all over color. Mine today is navy blue. Next, pick a accent color that will be secondary in your look. I like having a neutral like black, white, or beige as this step is what keeps color from overwhelming your look. Lastly, pick a third vibrant color as your final accent. Contrasting colors like red and blue always look good together as the bright red will pop against a cool blue background. And before you know it you’ve got the look that will have everyone wanting to know where you got it!

Other color combos that always inspire great style are…
black, white, and red
green, black, and beige
blue, brown, and red
pink, yellow, and white
blue, pink, and white
black, purple, and blue
blue, green, and brown
