Holding onto summer – Wearing all the colors of the rainbow

There is an unwritten rule somewhere that warmer weather brings on more colorful outfits (ok I couldn’t resist doing the multi-colored font).

I’d like to dispel the myth that NYC is an all black wearing town – just walk around midtown and you’ll see pops of color here and there. ย But now that I live in the land of perpetual summer, I rarely see all black outfits (it’s simply too warm here). ย I simply have more of an inclination to wear prints, patterns, and rich colors. ย It’s not just colorful, it’s more carefree as well.

These colorful pieces brought a smile to my face.

Stella McCartney price TBD Resort 2011ย hereย (oh to have this dress…),ย 
Lauren Merkin $198ย hereย (Thanksย Kristinย for the suggestion!),ย 
MOMA $40ย here,ย 
Heels $47ย hereย (Thanksย Dog ‘n Bird Artful wedding!), ย 
Victoria’s Secret $11.99ย here,ย 
Stephen Burrows for Target most under $40ย hereย (ridiculously bright and perfect for the beach)
Is the warm weather putting you in a colorful state of mind? ย It’s the last chance for those of you with seasons!

little luxury list

    I will admit I’m a mostly black wearing girl but I’ve been incorporating color into my wardrobe over the past few years- I’m trying! I love those heels, they’re so fun!

    I wear colour year round, but I think jewel tones are more fall than summer. Not sure why but I’ve just never been someone scared of colour–or big jewelry lol!

    The first dress is beautiful, and I love the candy-colored shoes. I always try to include colorful touches to my outfits, even during the winter. Plus, I happily wear my turquoise jewelry all year! ๐Ÿ™‚
