Blogging Besties: Nude Sandals

Ahh, it feels good to be creating Blogging Besties posts with Alex again!  For those of you who are new to this series, you can find an explanation here and all of our past posts here.  Having just a little bit of inspiration makes getting dressed so much more fun, in my opinion, and Alex provided lots of good ideas with her outfit last Friday!

Of all of her adorable pieces, I chose to pass-on a pair of nude sandals!  They are a perfect neutral upon which to build a fun outfit!

I don't know about you, but I'm already itching to buy fall clothes.  I admit to purchasing a few sweaters on a recent shopping trip but I also picked-up this bright maxi skirt on clearance at Old Navy.  It's the perfect piece to keep me excited about summer ensembles for the next month or so!

For its first outing, I didn't want to pair the skirt with an expected color...so I chose this moss green tee from Everlane.  While I wouldn't have initially thought these colors would pair so well, the scarf really pulls the palate together!  I also took notes from Casey and added a statement necklace underneath the scarf for added interest.

Now we want you to take an element from my outfit and incorporate it into one of yours...then we want you to link-up next week and show us how you wore it!  Here are the items you have to choose from: a neutral tee, a (bright) maxi skirt, a scarf, a statement necklace, a scarf with a statement necklace or nude sandals.  Check back next Friday to see what Alex passes-on!

P.S.  I'm guest posting again for Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood!  Pop on over and say "hello!"

Create28: Summer Color Combos Look

Happy Monday (if there is such a thing), and welcome to day six of Create28: Lovely Summer Looks!  It's Whitney and I'm here to show you one of my favorite Summer Color Combos.  When Carrie, Casey and I decided that I would be the one to post about this topic, I have to admit, I was a little bit overwhelmed.  There are so many color combinations that make me think of summer!  There is sunshiny yellow, beachy coral, nautical navy and so many other colors that can be combined every which way!

Ultimately I chose an almost mono-chromatic look composed of shades of blues and greens as my summer color ensemble.  It's so much fun to spend this time of year outside and these hues remind me of the grass and the sky.  I also feel a bit nautically (is that really a word?) in this outfit...although I'm not sure that a sequined tank top is entirely appropriate boat-wear.  Although let's face it, I could find a reason to wear sequins just about anywhere!

What's your favorite summer color combination?  Here are a few other ideas that we found:
