pick + choose.

Wednesday is here! I've been facing a conundrum as of late...in choosing between two of
my absolute favorite colors. Coral and turquoise always add another dimension to an outfit.
I love them together or separately, it doesn't matter. Though I love the brighter pops of color
 this summer, turquoise and coral are perennial favorites of mine.

I thought these goodies could jazz up this basic but fab maxi from James Perse...what do you think?

{1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11}

Would you pick turquoise or choose coral?
What is your favorite summertime accessory?

It's a tough choice, I know, but I can't wait to hear your opinion :)

Many thanks to those of you who have taken the sun savvy pledge this week! If you haven't already signed the pledge, please consider taking a step toward healthier skin for a lifetime :)


For those of you just as excited for Friday as I am {hello Friday's Fancies + a LONG weekend!}, 
I'm dreaming of a perfect cookout get-up, so feel free to dream right along with me.
You better believe it will be red, white, and blue too--I was an American Studies major after all!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! All of my love--xoxo {av}

    Oh wow I love both options! To avoid being matchy-matchy I'd probably do a combo of both. So cute!

    I love Coral AND turqoise, but if I had to pick just one, it's coral all the way :)

    I love coral but look just awful in it, with it anywhere near my skin, so turquoise it'd be for me!

    I love both and I have a lot more turquoise than coral in my accessories but I think for this dress I would go with coral. I love any shade of pink/gray together. It's feminine yet classic. Coral all the way!! :)

    i feel like coral is definitely a summer color! (although, the turquoise pieces you picked out are amazing too!) i love that nail polish. :-)

  27. LindsayJune 29, 2011 at 9:17 PM

    Whyyyyy are you making me choose?? I love both of those colors!

    But I guess since I have to pick I'm going to go with the coral for the summer. I'm loving anything color this season, I think it's so bright and summery! Go for the turquoise for the end of the summer maybe? Or like someone else suggested - mix them!

    Coral nails and bag, turquoise jewelry?

    Coral and Turquoise are a fab color combo, very complimentary, I see keep them together. But if i had to choose i'd go Turquoise. xo

    How funny, I wore a coral dress and turquoise necklace today. It's definitely my favorite combination this year!

    Therefore, I vote mix it up. :)
