What I’m Wearing
Suit| Loafers

For my birthday, I wore a khaki double-breasted suit with no shirt underneath. Birthdays are the perfect excuse to take a fashion risk and show up as the boldest version of yourself. The neutral color kept the outfit sophisticated while the bare chest gave it the right amount of edge. Plus, its really hot outside.

Until next time,

What I’m Wearing
Vest| Pants | Loafers

The floral knit vest already brings plenty of personality. Pairing it with chartreuse dress pants felt like the perfect way to lean into color. I grounded the brighter pieces with loafers, which provided more balance.

See you later,

What I’m Wearing
Raglan Shirt| Jorts | Loafers

I paired a classic raglan shirt with khaki jorts to create a look that feels sporty without looking too casual. The loafers add a polished touch and make the entire outfit feel more intentional. PERIOD! This look is simple, comfortable, and proof that the right shoes can completely elevate an everyday look.

Adios,

The Color Block Challenge: Seven Color-Blocked Looks

Sometimes getting dressed is about looking good.

It’s all about seeing what happens when you stop playing it safe.

For this challenge, I put together seven color-blocked looks using combinations that most people would never grab off the rack at the same time. Some worked exactly how I imagined, while others surprised me!

Here’s what happened.

Pink + Yellow

This one feels like summer.

Bright! Fun! Impossible to be in a bad mood while wearing it.

I paired a pink knit sweater vest with yellow pants and kept the sandals simple.

Yellow + Purple

One of my favorite color combinations in the challenge (My grad school colors).

The contrast does all the work.

I styled a yellow collar shirt with purple shorts and white sneakers. Clean, easy, and perfect for warm weather.

Orange + Royal Blue

Loud in the best possible way!

If subtle is your thing, keep scrolling.

I paired an orange sweater vest with royal blue pants and finished the look with these jellies I found on Etsy. Yes! I do own a pair of jellies.

The silhouette is classic. The colors do all the talking.

Green + Pink

The star of the collection!

This combination has no business working this well, but here we are.

I layered a green windbreaker over pink shorts and loafers. Sporty on top, polished on the bottom.

Royal Blue + Red

Strong. Clean. Classic.

Sometimes the obvious choice is still a good choice.

I combined a royal blue crewneck with red soccer shorts and loafers. Nothing complicated. Just two colors working together.

Red + Green

Let’s free red and green from their holiday obligations. Ha!

These colors deserve more than December.

I paired green dress pants with a red polo and flip-flops. Proof that color blocking works outside of tailored looks too.

Purple + Orange

A perfect way to end the challenge.

Bold, energetic, and a little chaotic.

Just how I like it.

I styled a purple cable knit vest with orange leather pants and classic loafers. The rich colors give the look plenty of personality without feeling overdone.

Final Thoughts

The older I get, the less interested I am in fashion rules.

Some of these combinations worked better than others. That’s the point though. The challenge wasn’t finding the perfect outfit, but rather giving each color a chance.

Which look is your favorite?

Sincerely,

-Bryce Lennon
