Winter by the Beach
Here in Arizona (or at least central Arizona) we don't often need heavy jackets, scarves, long sleeves, and boots. Heck, we pretty much wear flip-flops and t-shirts all year long. So, this is what a winter outfit looks like to me; a light top, a cozy sweater, jeans, and flats. I know that in Southern California (one of my favorite places to be) winter weather is fairly mild, so the set colors were inspired by sandy beaches, water, and sky. Wouldn't this be a nice outfit to wear while strolling a boardwalk in December? :)

Coral and Purple
Big Sis: I was inspired to create this purple and coral set after seeing how lovely the combo looks on this pillow. It's not a color pairing that I see very often, but don't the plum and light coral look pretty together?

Gray with Pops of Turquois
I wanted to created a set with casual work attire. This is what I came up with. And gray and turquoise is one of my favorite color combos! It reminds me of a rainy day with occasional blue skies peaking through the clouds.

Playful Plum
Big Sis: One of my favorite colors for fall is plum. I've seen some cute sweaters, dresses, and tops featuring this gorgeous deep purple. I created this casual, comfortable plum and gray outfit with a crisp autumn weekend in mind. My favorite part of the outfit? The cozy H & M sweatshirt for only $15!

Think Pink (and Orange)
Big Sis: I've seen a lot of pink and orange together lately, and I love it! One of my favorite shirts in high school (a very long time ago) was a striped pink and orange v-neck, and I'm glad to see the vibrant combination is back in style. I created this outfit with my favorite shades of pink and orange, and included two of my favorite mixed patterns, stripes and floral.

Here are some fun, vibrant pink and orange combos I found while browsing around:
Heidi Klum rocks a satiny magenta shirt with hot orange pants.
I like the second from the left best, but they all have potential.
Wouldn't this flirty dress look cute with a cropped denim jacket and magenta flats?
Love these flats. Combine them with jeans and an orange blouse? They're so bright and fun, even a neutral blouse would work.
The tangerine cardigan looks great over a soft coral button-up.
Here are Pantone's 2013 fall fashion inspiration colors for more fun color combo ideas. I'm thinking that Koi and Mykonos Blue would look pretty great together too. Which are your favorites?

Navy and Aqua
Last fall it was all about the contrasting colors, navy and coral, but this season the blue hues, navy and aqua are stealing the scene.
Casual Aqua and Navy by fun-to-wear featuring chunky jewelry
Below are some of my favorite navy and aqua outfits, items, and interior design ideas.
Love these navy wed leg jeans and the way that her dark green bag pulls the outfit together.
The aqua couch with the navy pillows are fantastic. The room pulls off a both modern and retro look.
This is maybe the 6th photo of Zooey Deschanel I've posted on my blog. I can't help it. She's got style.
I love ALL of these pillows and wish that they were sitting on my couch right now.
This cute casual bag is just one of the many adorable bags in the Blucalla Etsy shop.
This understated chevron aqua, navy, and gray phone case would make a great accessory.
Wouldn't this throw pillow from FestiveHomeDecor on Etsy be a pretty addition to the pile of pillows above?

A Fancier Me
If I wasn't a middle class mother of young children who lives in a small farming city, surrounded by slow-paced living and cotton fields, I would probably sometimes dress like this. Even when I'm in commercials I don't dress like this. Sometimes I'll end up in a business blazer and comfortable heels, but most of the time I'm dressed like a Tide commercial mom (a one colored fitted top with jeans, khakis, and flats.) When not in commercials, I most often wear t-shirts or simple peasant tops, jeans, and flip flops. But, if I dined at fancy restaurants, wasn't worried about stains from little hands, and went someplace other than movie theaters and Chipotle on dates, I'd dress like this on occasion. How would you dress if you could?

White Denim
Big Sis: It's 112 degrees today and so my daydreams are taking me to far off places (like December and January) where someone like me can wear coats, jackets, and jeans to their heart's content. I created this outfit on Polyvore with a white denim jacket, just to remind me of better weather to come. Also, though I can't wear one right now, I'm loving the white denim jacket look. This versatile piece can look casual or dressy, and can bring a cute, crisp look to any outfit.

Glee's Diana Agron wears her jacket with a flowy, knee length dress and summery sandals. I love the dark blue and crisp white together.
The white denim jacket looks cute and casual with khaki shorts and a ruffled top.
I never would have thought about pairing this jacket with a white shirt, but with the necklace for contrast, it really works!
Maxi dress + this jacket = the perfect look for a casual night out or lunch with friends.
These celebrities rock their white denim jackets. Doesn't Jessica Alba look cute in that scarf? ...sigh. I'll just stand under a fan for a little while, clothes my eyes, and pretend it's fall.
If you live someplace with nice, cool weather, or just want to prepare for fall, this jacket is available at Target for $24.99. You know the fashion advice that says never wear white after Labor Day? Ingnore it! :)

Country Girl
Big Sis: I know that I posted a red, white, and blue themed blog a couple of months ago, but with Independence Day fast approaching, and an over-abundance of cute flag-inspired outfits and items, I had to post another.
This outfit from Polyvore would be perfect to wear to a 4th of July picnic, don't you think?

This effortless, minimalist star t-shirt manages to be patriotic without going overboard. It looks super comfortable too.
These inexpensive Nautical Sea Anchor Earrings would look cute with nearly any summer outfit. I love them... a lot.
Wouldn't these heart sandals from ModCloth be perfect for a stroll on the beach? You could pull off a simple Independence Day look with just a white tee, jean capris, and these perfect flip flops.
It was love at first sight for me when I spotted this 1970's Red Striped Old School Skater Dress on Etsy. Can't you just imagine this dress with knee high socks and vintage roller skates?
these Tattoo Swallows Earrings are inexpensive, patriotic, and oh-so-adorable.
Zooey Deschanel almost always looks cute, but she looks especially so in this red, white, and gray-blue dress from Mod Cloth. The red cardigan over the top finishes the outfit perfectly.
More patriotic Zooey, but this time with a royal blue dress and bright red belt, which makes for a sophisticated, fun look.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Enjoy the fireworks, food, and fun!

Coral and Navy Career Casual
Big Sis: Navy and Coral has been a popular color combo for quite a while now, but I never get tired of seeing the two colors together. I created my ideal career casual outfit below. Now, if I could just find all of these items at Goodwill...

Summer Brights
Big Sis: Coral and magenta together? Yes, I say! Add some turquoise and
you've got three of the summer's hottest colors in a very cute, wearable
burnt-out stripe pattern. This Ella Moss top, which just happens to cost about
$135 more than I'm willing to pay for a shirt, allows for some very colorful
accessorizing. Though I wouldn't buy this lovely top, it inspired me to think
about pairing magenta and coral up in my wardrobe.
