My obsession with Parisian Chic continues



This summer started with a friend gifting me the Parisian Chic style book I mentioned in an earlier post. Little did I know almost a month later I would still be obsessed with all things Parisian including the colors red, white and blue.  July 4th was just a few weeks ago and with the visit by Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge red, white and blue color schemes have been everywhere lately. These colors truly say summer to me and I love wearing them together in a chic simple way, without literal symbols like flags.  I styled a couple of looks at Green Envy in Stowe and Amber was my wonderful model. I really like navy blue on top, white bottoms and of course, red shoes.


I also spotted an example of this color scheme while I was on Nantucket last week.








Right now I am searching for the perfect Navy blue cashmere v-neck to wear with my white jeans. I'll wear this with ballet flats or flat sandals now and with brown boots heading into the fall.
