Moody Picks: Blush-Worthy Dresses

Most of you know by now that Pantone named their pick for their 2016 Color of the Year and one of the two shades picked out is called Rose Quartz (the other is called Serenity).  Rose Quartz is a beautiful shade of blush pink and it’s one of this season’s biggest trends.  If you look around, you'll see blush rose tones in just about every store and in products like makeup, clothing, shoes, accessories and even home décor.

This shade is very feminine, romantic and it’s perfect for spring. I just recently went to a friend’s wedding last night and my blush dress was just the right touch for the evening celebration.  I definitely think that every girl should have a least one blush dress in their wardrobe for weddings or any other special occasion.  So if you’re looking for the perfect dress, look no further because I’ve found a few beautiful dresses that you’re gonna love.

What do you think about Pantone’s color choice? Here are 11 blush-worthy dresses that I think will be a perfect addition to your closet.  Let me know what are some of your favorites in the comments below.

Fresh Picks to Follow – Black and Blue

If you’re like me, I’m sure at some point in your life you’ve heard numerous fashion faux pas, such as don’t wear white after Labor Day, never mix patterns, don’t wear denim on denim and don’t wear black and blue together.  As you know, many fashionistas have long believed that those fashion faux pas are outdated and that it’s time to break the rules.  One rule that will be broken this fall is the color combination of black and blue.  These two colors have been paired together by major designers like Carolina Herrera, DKNY and Marc by Marc Jacobs.  To achieve this look, try grabbing a cobalt blue or navy blue top and pair it with black slacks or a skirt.  For this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow, here are my top 10 ways to take your black and blues combination to anything other than bruises.
