chloe +isabel jewelry: Crystal Drop Earrings

A couple things to talk about with this little number I put together.

1) Color Blocking: I am pretty proud to say that I discovered this trend more than a year ago and used it as my theme for my portfolio {Portfolio is expected to be online within the next month}. Exhibited in my outfit is popular summer colors {mint, tangerine/coral, navy & gold} worn together to create a color blocking effect. It's all about pairing together two or three pieces that have contrasting colors. Remember to pick pieces with a single color to get the effect above. For more advice on which colors to pair together check out my post with Brannen of Wayward Girl {here}.

2) Cotton On Dress for $10.00: I found this gorgeous coral/tangerine dress for only $10.00 at the Australian clothing brand, Cotton On Outlet. They have great on trend pieces for such a steal. You will definitely be seeing more wear more of this brand! Check out their site {here}. Unfortunately they do not have a website for their outlet pieces. However, their clothing is pretty reasonably priced anyways, so check it out!

Hope everyone enjoys their week! Congratulations to all the graduates! xo
