Something Summery

One styling choice I've been noticing lately is color blocking with individual pieces. I like the concept of using separates rather than one piece that has a "color block" print, I feel like it allows for more creativity and is less manufactured. Lately I've been drawn to pair more solid similarly saturated pieces together. And I think saturation is an important concept to consider when dealing with color in both design and styling (look at me, applying what I learned from my color theory class). I'm also completely enamored with scalloped shorts and wooden-heeled shoes, both of which I luckily received for my birthday. And of course my love for buckled satchels is undying. 

I've decided to start off my summer with tons of DIY projects. Ideas are always coming and going, and since I'm transitioning from my strictly-scheduled college life to having nothing to do I think the best thing would be to keep myself occupied. Tomorrow I'm running to the craft store to see if I can find some cool fabric to alter some dresses I don't wear anymore, as well as some scraps to make my own floral bunting banner. But most of all, I'm excited that I have time to read again! My nose will be buried in books for weeks to come. If anyone has something exciting planned for the summer I'd love to hear about it!
