The Sun Shines A Little Brighter

With spring (and days that feel like full-blown summer), I've been updating more than just my wardrobe. Sometimes it's the subtle changes outside of dresses and skirts that make an outfit feel more seasonally appropriate. Since I've been wearing loads of blue I changed my nail color to bright orange; a little color contrast is a good thing. I also switched my lipstick from my usual red to a vivid fuchsia, thanks to a package from Lime Crime. It feels much more spring-appropriate and I love the brightness of this lipstick.

LOVE this Rebecca! I've been finding myself wearing a lot of blue recently too - and I think the addition of the orange nails is such a great compliment to your outfit!

XOXO

The blue in your dress is gorgeous, but the contrast I like best is between the blue-red of the lipstick and the orange of your nails. The combination is quite unusual and has a lovely fresh feel!

GAHHHH! I'm in love with those shoes!
I just bought some similar myself but mine are a wedge so I would feel very justified in buying this pair since clearly they are a completely different type of shoe....

I love this, so much. While the outfit is great, as usual, what really makes it is how happy you look! You're just glowing, it's awesome. :)

I am in love with that necklace and the shoes!

Plus, fuchsia complements that dress's vibrant blue hue.

And your eyes.

Plus, pink vs. red and orange are a nicer alternative than wearing something too directly neighboring in the same color family. Blue based hues as opposed to red based hues next to red and orange... So yeah.

Bravo.

I can't wait to liberate my legs in time for my birthday celebration this weekend.

It really does feel like we've skipped over spring and right into summer! Then again, the weather this season has been really crazy..

Anyhow, you look lovely, and I hope this Monday is treating you well.

I love that lipstick on you, it's such a wonderful colour. I've found myself wearing a lot of blue recently as well, I don't know if it is intentional or there is an influx of blue in the shops right now but it is fantastic for spring xoxo

Absolutely gorgeous nail colour! Shall have to seek me out some tangerine.

Found you via Twitter - I think it is diabolical that someone would steal content in the first place but then not accrediting original source is just criminal. I am dreading it happening and having to deal with it.

Hope you get it sorted :)

I was never one to wear lipstick...but now I've become obsessed with them. The few I have, I've been wearing to death..I just ordered an orange one, so we'll see how it goes! It does put a finishing touch on your outfits some times!
