Tutti Fruiti

Hard to believe the week is almost over!  August has been such a whirlwind with multiple out-of-state trips, back-to-school shopping and preparation for five kids, and so much more going on!! 

Tunic:  eShakti

When life is stressful, I often rely on my clothes to boost my mood, and nothing is more mood-enhancing than fun colors.  This fun color combination of bright fruity colors was just the ticket. 

Glasses:  Coach

The wedge shape of the clutch reminds me of a lemon wedge, and the pompoms on my shoes kind of resemble cherries, which I think makes this such a great summery look, especially with my vacation tan!  :-D

Clutch:  The Limited (old)

Sandals:  Amazon

This past year, I have been wearing a lot of greens and blues.  Maybe it's because I am a water sign, but I really seem to gravitate towards these colors.  I love green in just about every shade, especially teal, olive, and emerald/kelly greens.

While I played up the colors today, my usual way to wear green is to pair it with neutrals, especially black and white/ivory.

Pair green with black tops and white blazers!
