Brands are feeling blue, but the feeling is anything but. Cobalt is such a fun, vibrant shade that’s guaranteed to make splash. Here’s how you can play it up:

 First, find pieces that have interesting textures, like this breathable tank from H&M. Then, tie it in with a print that’s complementary in shade, such as these faded, cotton shorts from H&M. (I’m kind of obsessed with this store for many reasons, but we’ll save that for later). Amp up the wattage with another loud accessory, like these statement earrings from Forever 21 and tie it in with a toned-down clutch to keep the focus on colors.

On another note – I want to thank all of my dear friends and family for supporting this! I’ve had so much fun doing it and look forward to sharing more. I also want to thank my amazing photographer, Chelsae (link above), for shooting such incredible photos. Please show her some love and follow her on Instagram!
