HOW TO WEAR SHADES OF BLUE WITH YELLOW
I’ve been waiting for months to be able to say these words…”I’m getting my hair done tomorrow!” The last time that I was at the hairdresser’s, we discussed how to keep my hair from looking shabby if they shut down the salons. It turns out that the salons were all closed down a couple of days later, so I was fortunate to have been one of the last ones to get their hair done.
We decided to color my base color and not to add any darker lowlights that would show a line when they grew out. Plus, the style of my cut looks good worn short or in a longer length. So, we cut it reasonably short, and it has been growing all this time. Then, to try and combat my gray from showing, I have also been using a shampoo for gray hair occasionally. That keeps my hair from looking brassy, and it also brightens my highlights to a white/silver look. I am fortunate that most of my gray is on the sides and not the top where I part my hair. If you lift up the sides of my hair, you might get a whole different picture of how gray I have gotten. It is funny how you have sections or patches where your hair goes gray. My best friend in high school had one spot that turned gray, but she parted her hair in a way that made it look like it was a highlight, so it looked cute and modern. So, now I am faced with the question, do I cut my hair or continue to let it grow???
How cute is this top!?! I have fallen in love with this bright yellow top with the different shades of blue floral print. The print reminds me of the Ming Dynasty blue and white vases for some reason. The top has a split neckline with a small button/loop closure and a little flutter sleeve. The top hits me right at my hips, so you can wear the blouse long or tuck it in. When I ordered the top, I had in mind to wear it with white shorts, but it would also look great with jeans or navy pants/shorts/skirts. I am wearing a size medium, and it fits me great. HERE is the link to the top, which is from Loft.
Here are a new pair of hoop earrings from Kendra Scott. These are very lightweight, but they are still large enough to be a statement. They are silver, but they also come in gold and rose gold. I love the iridescent crystals that give a small amount of sparkle to the earrings. HERE is the link to the hoops. The bracelets that I have on are the Logan (with the pearl) and the Chariot (with the gray moonstone) from The Styled Collection (HERE).
These linen colored platform espadrilles are a pair that I bought last year. They are by Michael Kors, and they are the perfect neutral for summer. I love the gold zipper detail that makes the shoes look dressy and luxurious. I am wearing my usual size 9, and these fit me perfectly. HERE is the link to these shoes.
The Carla Jute espadrilles from Target look almost identical to these. I’ll link to those below.
Even though I meant to wear this top with white, I think that it looks great with these azure blue shorts from Loft. These are the 6-inch Riveria shorts like the ones that I wore in (this) post. This color is no longer available, but there are other colors that you can choose from HERE is the link to these shorts. I like the 6-inch length, but this length might be too short for some of you, so I’ll link to some longer lengths in the same color.
I just ordered in a lot of clothing from Talbots, and a box just arrived from Chico’s. So, hopefully, in the upcoming week, you should see a lot of new items hitting the blog. But, I was wondering, would you like to see some more casual outfits? Would you like to see t-shirts and jeans, leggings and long tops, or knit shorts and tanks? What about swimsuits? Would you be interested in seeing some of the ones that I’ve bought this year?

you look adorable. I could not wear this outfit with my skin tone (pale) but it looks great on you! your hair is certainly nice either way but you have to ask yourself how it will work longer for summer, will it be a pain in the pool season? if the answer is yes, then grow it again starting in September.
I would love to see casual outfits with ankle jeans. I love wearing ankle jeans but struggle with what tops look good with the tighter fitting bottom. And some comfy sandal selections. I love your hair, it looks great for not having it done in a while. I am going on 6 months now, I live in NY and they may open it next week. I want to be first! Stay well, I love your blog!
I would vote to letting your hair grow! It’s a good style for you and I like the longer length.
I live the outfit as the color combo is perfect. I won’t buy flutter sleeve tops. They don’t look good on my arms and appear juvenile on me. I would like to see Tips with sleeves and skirts which are a cool option in summer for me. Best to you! Kathy
This outfit is so cute. Love the yellow & blue together.
It’s already so hot here in the Texas panhandle – it was 98 here yesterday. So break out the shorts!
Have a ball getting your hair done. I haven’t tried to get in – I have a bob that has grown out beautifully & started going silver over a year ago. I’ll get around to getting there!
Tania,
To answer your question, I would love seeing swimwear as well as casual everyday wear as I wear uniforms to work so I don’t need many dressier outfits and casual is the way I roll. Things that would be nice are cute outfits for around the house but also look nice to head out to the store or wherever. Another idea are outfits to pack for weekend or short getaways. Items that match and interchange well to limit the amount of things you need to pack.
Love your blog and look forward to hearing from you each day.
We just recently went to a more relaxed business casual attire at the office. I would like to see outfits that still look professional for the office but with jeans. Love your outfits you have shown so far with denim.
I love the blue and yellow combination on you.
I would also like to see some business casual attire for the office and maybe some lower heel shoe options.
Thank you so much, i love your post!
I’d like to see casual outfits with capris. (Don’t look in shorts & Texas is too hot in the summer for jeans. ?). And also, I’d love to see options of shoes with multiple different outfits….what options to wear with a casual dress, etc. with a low heel or no heel. Thank you for your blog! I really enjoy it.
I beat you to those KS earrings this time ? (unless you subliminally planted the idea). I love everything you show but it would be great to see maybe very casual shorts and tanks while still looking put together. If my face is put together, I’m on my way!
I would love to know how you style your hair! Always looks so nice. Casual and put together clothes right now and yes a swim suit would be great. Even though where I live they say they won’t be opening beaches
I can say it too!! I am going to the hairdresser tomorrow!! Haha, enjoy!
I love this outfit! Love the colors and the style
