THE TREND: COLOR POPPIN'
Photography By: John Thatcher
Summer calls for color. Wait...Did I say Summer? It's the first of September?! Yes, I did. It's still summer people! Fall fashions might be knocking on your door but it's not too late to get the last of your summer wardrobe on your rotation.
As a resident of foggy San Francisco, I admit that I tend to wear too much black. What can I say, sometimes I forget that it’s summer here! I was beyond excited when this blue dress came into our inventory at the office. It is such a flattering shape and a beyond amazing color, I couldn’t wait to wear it. Not only can you pair it with a blazer for the office, but you can also dress it up for a wedding with nude heels and statement jewelry.
For a day in my casual office environment, I threw on my favorite denim jacket (seriously, if you don’t own a denim jacket...go buy one asap) and finished it off with fire engine red pumps. With all of the color involved in this outfit, it was important to keep my accessories simple, I wanted the dress and the shoes to speak for themselves!
