Chambray Peplum

What happens when you combine two favorite trends, peplum and chambray? You get one of my all-time favorite shirts. I wore the pink jeans version to an amusement park a couple months ago, and the yellow shorts version for running errands. Which look is your favorite? Would you wear a chambray peplum top?

My first attempt at recreating this Emma Stone outfit was more literal and included simiarly-hued turquoise shoes. I really like that her outfit includes one neutral piece though, so I changed to nude shoes and wound up liking that even better. Which version is your favorite?

Color Pop with Walmart

/

My favorite thing about fashion? Playing with color! During my recent video shoot with Walmart, I talked about three color trends for summer (go here to watch the video!). The three color families are warm, cool and jewel. Below are examples of outfits I put together for each category, using clothes from Walmart. com. Some tips for styling:

  • Warm: try pairing peachy tones, corals, yellows and oranges. Mix in neutrals such as nude pumps or an ivory top.
  • Cool: go for head-to-toe color with icy purples, blues or mint green. 
  • Jewel: rich jewel tones come from all sides of the color wheel and make a bold statement. Try combining turquoise, cobalt, canary yellow or a rich ruby.
