Cobalt Crush

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! 
There are a lot of popular colors making an appearance this season but none are quite so bold and vibrant as cobalt blue. It is one of those colors that flatters most skin tones and the brilliant hue is a lovely way to brighten up the lingering gray days and will last into summer.
I've been looking for the perfect cobalt piece to bring along with me on my trip. The piece should be light and compact and transition-able from day to night. This whimsical yet sharp, airy yet structured tunic fit the bill. I love how even though it is simple it has a lot of dramatic movements going on.  
Another nice feature of this tunic is that it is see-through in the back so you have the option of wearing it with a black or nude camisole or paired with a favorite swimsuit like I've done here. To mix it up a bit, try pairing cobalt with silver/gunmetal accessories for an edgier urban feel or with lace and pearls for an ultra-feminine look. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this bold and vivid hue!

    Such a great color on you! And I love the semi-sheer tunic...it would look awesome with some skinny jeans and a cami.

    Hey Thu! I'm catching up again. Your bangs are looking really cute!! They suit you. Royal blue looks fantastic on you, in fact, loving all the brights you sported on vacation.
