I’ve talked often about the LBD—little black dress—but today I’m talking about my other beloved LBD. The little BLUE dress. And today’s LBD is a true summer staple with its bright floral pattern and trim, flattering fit and a go-to for summer weddings and events.
You know when you’ve found “your color” and you simply gravitate to it in every occasion? Blue is that for me. I always like to mix and match shades of the color, from navy to pastels and buttery blues to those rich-like-the-ocean shade of azure. So whenever I do go all-in for a monochromatic blue look, I bring in textures and fine details to keep it fun and interesting.
And by textures and fine details, I mean lots of fringe (because, duh), scalloped edges and embellished pockets. Loeffler Randall does a killer scallop with their heels (exhibit A seen above and in other colors right here), and you already know about my strong love affair with this white fringe handbag (on MAJOR sale!!!) by Proenza Schouler. So you can only imagine the second I saw this navy coat with its fringe edges and utterly fabulous bejeweled pockets, I did a few twirls in it and swore it had to be mine right then and there. While this jacket will look amazing with some jeans and a white tee I love pairing a piece like this over a more prim-and-proper piece like this blue and white floral dress because it gives the look a little edge and flair. And every outfit needs a little flair, don’t you agree? Truly, MKR
