A Sea of Blue

I would have never paired these 2 colors (mint + cobalt blue) together - that is until I saw these colorful heels.  Green maybe the color of the year but for me - the blues are catching my eye lately.  These shoes are another recent purchase that I could not resist.  And look what a fun outfit inspiration it provided ;)  

I got a lot of looks at work today - I think I was a a bit bright on this winter day.  I think it's my way of saying spring - please come soon!

Where do you find your color inspiration for your outfits?

  13. I love this post and that you were inspired from your heels because I know what you mean, I might not pair those two together and then now that I see it, they're so pretty and perfect for spring. Great post! Following you now on Bloglovin... I need to try these two colors together

  14. That is so cute Alice! I can see how you were inspired by those shoes. Madewell has some great little pointy flats right now in that gorgeous cobalt color which my daughter recently bought. Last night we went to dinner and she was wearing the shoes with some green pants from the Loft that I bought her. It looked so fresh, as you do too!

    1. I am totally addicted to cobalt blue - I think a stop at Madewell maybe in my future. I don't own any pieces from there - I find their prices are little too steep for my weekend wear.
