Color POP!

I absolutely LOVE this look I created on Polyvore. The dress from oasis-stores.com is the perfect mix of modern and classy with a little scandal to it. The plunging neckline is extremely daring but the lace overlay takes the look from borderline slutty to totally chic. The turquoise pumps from Lulus are a great added pop of color to an already bright dress. Mixing brights is a huge trend for this summer and for someone who is a little scared to try it out, this is the perfect way to start! Subtle enough that it's not overpowering but powerful enough that you'll stand out in a crowd. The gold, turquoise & coral accents are the best final touch to this look. Again, its that added color without being too powerful. This look was designed to be worn to a wedding but would be essential for date night or a summer work party as well!
