While I wouldn’t classify my taste as particularly colorful, there are certain hues, teal being one of them, that I’m drawn to time and time again. I even convinced my husband once to paint a wall in a clearly elegant teal-ish color named “Mermaid Treasure.” Looking back, I can’t say it was the best choice, but it goes to show that my eye can’t help but gravitate towards the vibrant shades of blue/green bliss.

When working a separates look around a color, I like to keep the rest of the pieces in the neutral zone so it really stands out. Since the bandage skirt is obviously fitted, I balance it with a borrowed-from-the-boys button-down and buckled booties so the look isn’t overly sexy. For me, it’s all about creating that contrast between flirty and casual to get it right for all-day style.

And just because she’s so damn cute…a bonus Zoey shot.
