Color Crush on Blue

August 10, 2017

Pantone is the expert that sets the standard for color trends every year.  Earlier this year I shared the Pantone 2017 spring/summer colors in this Summer 2017 Trends post.

Here is a reminder of those top ten:

While many others may be looking forward to fall fashion, I have had a difficult time accepting the fact that summer is nearing its end, and the fall season will begin next month.  I’m still loving the colors that I’ve been finding while out on my shopping ventures.

The color I’m crushing on today is Island ParadiseThis cool blue green color reminds me of a summer vacation

When you wear Island Paradise it looks like this This pretty blouse was waiting for me to find it on a Sunday afternoon shopping trip with LB.  It was on sale for $12 at Nordstrom Rack, so I snatched it up right away.

The opened back with a criss-cross detail is pretty.  It would have been smart of me to put my hair up so it could be seen.  I wasn’t thinking too clearly at 6:00 this morning.  Word to the wise: check the care label before purchasing anything, even if it is only $12.

The label in this top reads: HAND WASH COLD. SEPARATELY. MILD DETERGENT. DO NOT BLEACH. RESHAPE. LAY FLAT TO DRY. COOL IRON IF NEEDED.GEEZ!

Since I am unable to find the link for this blouse online, here are a few others, in a bit of a bluer shade, that are similar and just as pretty:

 

And a few accessories to match:

Earrings // Earrings // Earrings

 

I mentioned earlier that I am not rushing summer out the door, however I have taken a peek at the upcoming color trends for fall.

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
