I do this– I fixate on a color/trend and wear it constantly, over and over, trying to work it from every angle. Milk it for what it’s worth, if you will. If I’m spending the money on it, I want to be able to wear it multiple ways to stretch my dollar. (Insert commentary about rebounding from a national recession and phrases like “in this economy,” etc.)

Remixing is my current M.O. with cobalt blue (last seen in this post) and these Gap boyfriend shorts. The shorts are on the longer side and get a bit more boyfriend-y as the day wears on. An army green over-sized work shirt is super relaxed and so easy to wear; I’ll probably toss this on over a tank and wear it as a jacket just as often as I go fully-buttoned.

Spring is here, so it’s time to bring the toes out. Rope wedges, hello! And lots of bright blue touches throughout the outfit to really punch things up. Cobalt and army green make a fun combo, no?

  12. Hi. For a moment I was as tan as you after my spray tan and it was blissful. I thought to myself, “What a great life Ashley must live being this tan.” true story.

    1. Thanks, Olivia! It’s an oldie but one of my favs- and now he’s making that gorgeous blue color again. I got this puppy as a college graduation gift. 🙂

  20. Beautiful! I love this color combo and am always excited to see cobalt blue in use. It’s one of my favorite colors. Those Gap shorts are awesome – I had been debating whether or not to grab a pair. They have great reviews and the fit seems perfect.
