Navy Dress, Red Bag


If you follow my Pinterest style inspiration board, you'll notice that I've toned down my excessive pinning of neons, brights and colors. Instead, I've been gravitating towards neutrals, shirt dresses and simple lines. Perhaps it's because all the shops are switching to fall. Perhaps it's due to color overload. In any case, I've been eying the neutrals in my closet with a renewed appreciation

Ok, let's be real. I paired a simple navy dress with a bright red bag and orange shoes. Who am I kidding?

DRESS: Calvin Klein (similar) BAG: Vintage SHOES: Zara (similar, under $40) WATCH: Michael Kors BRACELET: c/o Stella & Dot RING: BCBGeneration EARRINGS: The Fashion Truck SUNGLASSES: Gucci
