Fashion Friday: Color Combos - Chartreuse and Royal Blue

Bracelets and Clutch from The Loft

Silver ring from Silpada

This summer I have been in love with this charteuse color.  Chartreuse is a color between yellow and green that apparently was named after the french liqueur green charteuse which is famously known for its color.  It's very summery and fun and adds a great pop of color.  I have been pairing it mostly with royal blue, but I think it looks great with black, purple, navy blue and white also.

Here are some examples of what I have worn lately:

Shorts:  Victoria's Secret (the Eva short)

Tank Top:  Old Navy

I wore the charrteuse shorts outfit to a great hamburger joint in Myrtle Beach called Hamburger Joe's and the cropped pants and sweater with the chartreuse tank top to work today.  I got the tank top for $5 back in June.  Pairing the embellished tank with a cute sweater and cropped pants makes for a great Casual Friday outfit for the office.  I can just go home and slip on some jean shorts and I'm ready for the weekend.  Sometimes a statement piece can be a $5 tank top and some cool friendship bracelets that cost less than $10.  Just be creative!

What's your current favorite color combination?
