Winter Blues: a cobalt love affair

{ What I Wore: J.Crew factory day dress // J.Crew coat & (men's) belt // souviner scarf from Venice // Marc Jacobs x Target pouch (gift from my bestie!) // boutique boots // Spanx tights (reversible & magic, I swear!)
{Get the Look}
day dress {$64.50} + red coat {$19.99, chic cropped option) + silk scarf {$6.80} + gold pouch {$49.99, I die of cute over this one!) + brown belt {$9.99, buy it a size up for knotting} + brown boots {$39.99}
I don't know what has gotten into me, but I am totally cheating on all the other colors in my closet with my cobalt blue pieces. Maybe it is due to my newly red hair that all things blue are yelling, "wear me! wear me!" every morning when I get dressed. 
Whatever it is, I am digging it!
I am not usually a major primary color pair-er upper either, yet red + blue is my jam these past few weeks 
(how fabulous is Blair in her red + navy, I die!)
It works, right!?
What colors have you been crushing on lately?
Any unexpected color-pairings making it into your outfits?
(did you catch my teal + burgundy #ootd-gram over the weekend?)
Happy weekend!!

  13. You already HAVE the Blue one! Back off lady! haha. But seriously I scored this coat from a J.Crew super sale a few years back - I think it was originally $250 and I got it for under $100... deals deals deals!

  14. People have told me that when I wear my hair with a center part, I really change the way my face looks.... could that be it?

  15. You look stunning in this dress! I love how you mixed the cobalt with cognac and black - so chic :) I have a similar cobalt dress that I'm absolutely smitten with, but I've only paired it with black so far. I'm going to have to venture out and wear it with my brown boots for once!!

  18. I've also has a recent love affair with cobalt blue. There is something about the color tat makes me feel empowered? I don't know, but I do know it also makes me eyes pop.

    It's a keeper if you ask me. :)

  24. Oh it's the dress from yesterday's post! I love it on you. I am definitely mint green obsessed (like the rest of the world, even though I was already obsessed with it).


    My wardrobe combos are probably going to get pretty creative over the next 6 months....
