LACE and TURQUOISE

The new color combo for the season: Turquoise and Yellow.

This jacket is definitely one of a kind and worth the splurge (Anthropologie). The all over lace might seem hard to pull off, but by pairing it with a statement necklace and nautical top, it's now taken on a fun and updated look. The camel stripes from the top (J.Crew), gold flats (Lucky Brand), and wooden discs from the necklace all coordinate with the tan trim of the jacket, which immediately tone down the brightness of the yellow. What to wear on top? That's where the pop of turquoise comes in with the scarf and beaded necklace (R.J. Graziano).




Style Tip of the Day
: Mixing textures and prints can add interest and a perfect way to express your sense of style.  A good tip to keep in mind is to coordinate the colors in the jacket and top.  The above look works because the stripes in the shirt are of a similar shade to the jacket's trim.  If you are a little hesitant on these combinations, keep it simple with a patterned blazer and solid silk top.  If you a fashion risk taker, pair a single striped top with a patterned jacket.
