We looked through many pages looking for a nice rich blue hue and a lovely palette. There are some combinations that we would never use, of course, but generally speaking they are inspired and quite attractive.
(Another color site we absolutely adore, especially for our design business, is Name That Color. We were searching for a sort-of-royal, sort-of-slate-y blue, perhaps something like "Biscay" (#1D3967). Play with the color wheel tool- you will adore it and improve your color vocabulary drastically. No more "ish" and "-y" in your descriptions ;) )
First, we chose a theme called "Not Your Average Wedding," featuring orchid, peach and charcoal grey.
A couple of cute work looks, with the commonality of color and patterned tights and a feminine, flirty silhouette. We focused on the look here, not the price, so some of these items are a bit on the astronomical side and we advocate you look for suitable budget-friendly replacements if you enjoy the styling.
The second group of colors we chose was a bit too broad in range, so we picked just four of the colors out of it (besides the existing blue of the shoes we chose). It's called "Lady Liberty" and our selections were blue-green, eggplant purple, peachy-pink and navy blue:
These looks would probably be fine for work but might be better on the weekend or going out as they're a bit on the fancier side, but whatever works for you!
Happy confident and creative blue-shoe-sporting!
I think a pair of blue pumps would look really pretty with a bright orange knee-length dress. Complimentary colors, right?
ReplyDeleteWow, these are so cool, thank you for taking blue shoes as your inspiration and sorry it's taken me a couple of days to get here. I like the blue with orchid very much - could definitely do that one with a little tactical shopping - and the teal skirt is gorgeous. Having now worn my blue shoes, I realize they're a more subtle, duskier shad than I thought, so I feel a bit happier about mixing them in with other things now. And, having now been worn, they are no longer in danger of going back to the store!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the creative inspiration here.
