Color Crush: Cobalt

NOTE: This post was UPDATED with current shopping links on 1/11/15!!

I’m totally crushing on cobalt right now. Let’s be honest, I always love cobalt. It’s such a stunning color, and it truly looks fabulous on anyone. Whether you’re fair and blonde or olive-skinned with dark hair or somewhere in between, cobalt makes a tremendous fashion statement.

When I was in White House Black Market looking for a date night outfit, cobalt was everywhere, and that experience was the impetus for this post. I wanted to buy everything!

Here are some cute outfits to show you how I like to style cobalt.

How to Style Cobalt

Pair cobalt with white for a striking contrast. Accessorize with bright pink, coral or yellow.

 white jeans // ruffled tank top //  wedge sandals // pink crossbody

Pair cobalt with gray for a more muted palette.

yellow hobo // knot-front top // twill pants // mudd high heels (ironically, also avail in cobalt!)

Pair cobalt with black and white for a sophisticated professional look. Get this look at White House Black Market.

Accessorize a neutral outfit with cobalt.

Which is your favorite???
