GET THE LOOK :: RED & TURQUOISE

I'll be the first to admit I went a little gaga for pink and red last Spring, and now I'm looking to change things up! Cristina from Fuji Files here to inject a bit of turquoise into the mix, and I love blue like Cass loves kelly green, so it shouldn't be hard!
You'll notice that all of these fashionable ladies dared to wear looks that are practically neutral-free, challenging us to abandon our 'pop of color' mantra and go for all-out color! I'm feeling inspired yet slightly intimidated by these bold blocks of red and blue but I'm determined to give it a try this season, who's with me?!

For this look I chose a classic red dress, in which I would like to pretend I'm in Italy (even if I'm really just at the grocery). For an easy way to bring in that second dose of color, try a bright pair of sandals or flats! When I'm wearing a bold look like this I like to keep my makeup simple with a lip stain or even just lip balm, then throw on a hat and we're ready for summer!

  1. LOVE poppy red on its own, but this complimentary color combo is fantastic.

    The top photo is awesome - the hair length and cut is in my folder for my stylist on my next trip to the salon.

  4. I'm a fan of this color combo too! I even wore it in our pre deployment shoot yesterday. Our photographer gave us a sneak peek last night and I posted it this morning.
