Color Blocking How To
Analogous Colors: Combining shades close to each other on the color wheel (analogous colors) creates a cohesive yet vibrant effect. The textured fringe-knit jacket in a fiery red-orange brings warmth and energy, while the bright pink strapless top adds a, feminine touch.
Complementary Colors: Teal is opposite pink and orange on the color wheel, making this combination complementary. Adding a sequined teal pencil skirt creates a striking contrast.
Neutral Grounding: Clear heels act as a neutral base, keeping the focus on the bright colors and shimmer. The color story
grabs attention, so the accessories are minimum-but still bold.
Why This Works:
One common misconception is that bright colors are too bold for older women or overpowering for midsize bodies. In reality, color blocking with intentional choices can highlight your best features. Bright colors bring energy, and strategically placing them (like emphasizing your top half or curves) draws attention where you want it.
Color blocking is an easy way to create interesting outfits that show off your personality.

Rich auntie energy activated.
This Amazon The Drop dress is proof that simple doesn’t mean boring. The soft white flows like a summer breeze, and that oversized flower detail? Feminine, flirty, and fabulous. I paired it with black and gold accessories to turn up the luxe—I added a gold purse chain as a necklace. I wrapped the necklace twice and let the end of the chain hang down my back - because why not?
Perfect for a summer graduation, rooftop brunch, or wherever you want to serve timeless elegance with a side of main character.
Would you wear this look? Drop a flower if you would!
Simple but elegant. The chain down the back gives this a little extra interest.

Why Orange & Lavender Work So Well Together
These two might seem like opposites—but that’s exactly why they work. Lavender is soft, cool, and calming. Orange is warm, fiery, and full of energy. When you put them together? You create contrast and balance at the same time.
It’s all about color theory:
Orange and purple are near opposites on the color wheel (complementary), but lavender tones the purple down into something more pastel and subtle. That softens the pairing while still letting orange shine.
Moral of the style story:
Mix what “shouldn’t” go together… and make it work anyway.

I will not dance on the internet. I will not dance on the internet. But these new @kaicollective jeans are too good.
Chile, Kai Collective just dropped their iconic jeans in two new colors and I am here for it. KOA is a true barrel leg jean with that unmistakable embroidered logo on the leg and a distressed finish that makes them feel like a favorite pair of jeans that have been in your closet forever but ones that still pass the vibe check.
I’m betting these will sell out so don’t sleep on them.

Zara haul continues
Needed a little retail therapy this weekend so I stopped by Zara. I love this top. The shoulder pads and the asymmetric cut can be dressed up or down. But I had to practically dislocate a shoulder to get in it. It needs a zipper desperately!!
Next trip - tailor.
Don’t be afraid to make your clothes work for you. And yes, I’m taking the white dress to the tailor to put a split in the back so I can actually walk in it.

Summer = White Party Season.
This Amazing dress! Chile, you couldn’t tell me nuthin’. Trying to walk up the stairs was like walking the Met Gala staircase without someone carrying me. But hey, it’s worth it.

Spring lets you explore all the color combinations. Don’t get me wrong, I love a burgundy and chocolate vibe. But spring colors are just…happy.
Blue and yellow are near-complementary colors on the color wheel — they create high contrast and visual energy without competing. This fit mixed two high intensity saturated colors for a maximalist vibe.
This is also the perfect summer workwear. The material is lightweight, and the details are sharp. Not to mention that I love a wide legged pant! It all feels flow, elegant and a little bit fun.
Two bold colors-one metal, easy formula.

Farmers Market Anyone?
I recently made an Zara haul (actually two)… grief shopping after the funeral. But, I picked up some great elevated casual pieces meant for a weekend of running errands and kids birthday parties. Perfect for when you wanna elevate your look but still be comfortable!

Don’t be basic.
Take a basic formula: white tee + jeans and kick it up a notch or 5. A funky kimono, cool shades (yes, those are 12pm Studios 👏🏾), and a statement hat from the new Ruslan Baginsky denim drop — and suddenly a basic becomes a whole LOOK. Style is in the details, sis.
