Baby Blue, I Love You

  • Wednesday, March 04, 2015

Baby blue is the perfect hue. Baby blue, I love you. The color is a pale azure; basically the lighter, pastel version of blue making it feminine, flirty, & fun. Symbolically, light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, & softness. You can read a little more about the symbolism of blue in my 50 shades of blue post.  :]

You can wear baby blue as a monochrome look -- just sport it head-to-toe -- or you can rock various shades of blue. It all depends on what you'd like to do. Okay, I'm done being Dr. Seuss. The LucLuc Sleeveless Denim False Two-piece Skater Dress is so gorgeous because it looks like it's a coordinate set; it's got a very chic, effortless vibe & who can resist that price?!

The Women's Kendra Scott 'Katie' Stone Drop Earrings from Nordstrom are absolutely breathtaking. Or for half the price, opt for the 'Elle' Earrings in Blue Lace Agate & Silver. From afar they look as though they're a simple baby blue, but then you get closer & you realize it has more of an shiny, opal, psychedelic look to it.

You can always accessorize your outfit with pastel accents. Essie nail polish in Bikini So Teeny is a cornflower blue or you could go for Julep nail polish in Margaret. If you're feeling a bit more risky & frisky you can go for a bold lip or eyeshadow in baby blue. Elsa from Frozen anyone?!

To be honest, I don't own much in the pastel blue department, but I have to keep my eye out for more of this stunning shade. Is baby blue a color you could see yourself wearing? Which item from this set is your absolute favorite? Can you pick just one? What baby blue items do you already have in the closet? :]

    Blue is my favorite color, especially a sky blue! Love all of these picks. I think the earrings are stunning and I've always thought that light blue coats look super chic! Ironically, I don't own much in this color even though I declare it as my favorite. Go figure. There's definitely a blue theme going on through my apartment though...

      I don't own much baby blue either. I guess we should keep our eyes peeled. :]

    I love baby blue!! I actually think it looks fantastic in winter coat form. Pastels are definitely unexpected as cold weather colors (not that we get cold weather in Cali :P) but that is what makes them so awesome!

      You're right, Jill. Pastels are unexpected in the winter, so it give it extra charm. :]

    Baby blue looks lovely as a manicure but when I wear it as clothes, it just washes me out. :-( A huge shame as I love the colour.

    I don't own much colour, but if I do it's muted or pale (so pretty and feminine!) I'm especially fond of pale pink these days but this blue is beautiful!

    What a fun coincidence that we're both feeling really into dusty blue this season! I did a similar round up on my blog as well! This is really lovely, Carmen- I have to try that Essie color!
