Summer Blues And My Favorite Color Story

I don't wear too much color in the summer. I went to the mall the other day and all stores had this citrus salad explosion going on, it gave me sensory overload, lol. I usually stick to white, ivory, navy, blue with some black and sometimes red, but mostly only as an accent.

For some reason, I wear much more color in the fall/winter. Around September I start to feel the call of more color saturated wardrobe, jewel tones and autumnal hues are all the rage then. But somehow, the quality of summer light makes all those rich colors seem out of place and I only long for sunwashed, whitewashed, color drained look.

I know this may be contradictory to the colorful visions of tropics and other summer destinations, but maybe I just long for the crisp and cool of the whites and neutrals. Blue of course, fits into this cool/nautical color imagery perfectly. I like all the shades of blue in solids and prints and my summer closet is full of them.

I do like to work with some kind of theme as the week progresses, it makes it easier for me to get dressed every day. Here are some pages from my blue color story.

Gallerista skirt and perfect linen shirt

 This skirt may be put in more fancy category, but I have no problem wearing it quite casually.

Polka dot chambray and scout chinos

This chambray shirt is my new favorite and I can see myself wearing the heck out of it in the coming months.

 

Porcelain Paisley skirt and Camp Striped popover

This is for Ina, who was asking how do I wear my striped camp popover, this is my favorite version, but I love it with white shorts/capris and I think the blue maxi skirt will work as well. I think the key is to add some feminnine accent, like neclace and colorful belt. And of course it would be great with colorful pants if you do wear them (or skirts), I am thinking modern red or just red but also bright green or yellow.

Hilary dress

 You have seen this but I sill like it, nothing simpler like just blue and gold.

Emerson Fry skirt with Perfect Linen shirt

I do love those linen perfect shirts, but instead of buying them in every possible color I just buy multiples of my favorites. These run really big, I am wearing 4 which I never do in shirts.

White tunic Popover with blue jeans

 We cannot forget blue jeans in our blue week, my Friday uniform complete with white button front and colorful shoes and necklace, I never get tired of this look.
 

Striped perfect shirt and scout chinos

 Another striped shirt in linen/cotton and again my favorite capri length white pants, aka scout chinos.

That's all folks!
