0:13

of


0:13

[Music]


0:15

most my


0:16

i'd say surprise trends of spring season


0:19

and that is taking


0:21

that black in your closet and refreshing


0:25

it with what i like to call


0:27

the new black


0:28

navy so many shades of fabulous blues


0:32

that can be infused into your closet


0:34

they look just as cool dressed up as


0:37

they do dress down a little bit lighter


0:40

in the palette so easy to wear fabulous


0:43

with denim


0:44

you cannot go wrong so i'm going to talk


0:47

about all the blues you need


0:49

and some rule


0:51

breakers that i want everyone to abandon


0:54

from that list because yes you can do a


0:58

couple of things you were told at one


1:00

point you can't


1:02

okay so starting with this look first


1:05

rule breaker yes you can mix shades of


1:08

white and cream with blue it doesn't


1:12

need to go pure nautical when we're


1:14

talking navy and that's one of the


1:16

things i love about blue that makes it


1:17

feel really fresh i've got on this


1:20

amazing fara pant


1:22

this is from z supply so you know the


1:25

comfort factor is through the roof on


1:27

this guy it is a higher rise but thank


1:30

you thank you z supply elastic waistband


1:33

so uber uber comfortable


1:36

featuring that fun wide leg that we've


1:39

all been loving this season now it has


1:42

to be said


1:43

i am 5'4 but i'm going to remind all of


1:46

you that i've got the legs of a five


1:48

foot one gap


1:50

short short legs so these on me i love


1:53

them i think they're really fun it's


1:55

kind of taking the idea of a maxi dress


1:58

and putting it into a pant they feel


1:59

like a jogger they are hitting me below


2:03

my ankle now if i wanted to have a


2:05

little bit more of a summer vibe i would


2:07

probably shorten these to just above my


2:10

ankle so on you


2:12

longer legged gals and i know that most


2:14

of you out there are


2:16

it's going to hit you probably above


2:17

your ankle bone really chic really


2:19

pretty you can wear it with a wedge you


2:21

can wear it with a flat you can dress


2:22

them up with a heel now


2:24

how am i pairing it well i took this fun


2:27

chaser tank that's in this great marine


2:29

blue and white and paired it back mixing


2:34

my neutrals little pop of blue i've got


2:37

this great little espadrille wedge on


2:39

and i am set to me this is


2:42

casual easy breezy i want to feel put


2:44

together want to feel a little bit more


2:46

elevated and done okay


2:50

how to take these pants though and turn


2:52

up the volume a little bit more


2:54

this is where your statement top comes


2:56

in now i'm thinking this is for


2:58

fun brunches maybe you've got some


3:01

showers graduations coming up and the


3:04

dress code is that obscure


3:08

casual chic backyard dressed up i don't


3:12

know what to wear kind of


3:15

outfit


3:16

gotcha okay so we're going to start with


3:18

really fun top so take these great pants


3:20

and then pair it back to this beautiful


3:22

new blouse now here's a great example of


3:25

something that would typically be


3:26

grounded in a black instead it's


3:28

grounded in this gorgeous midnight navy


3:31

this is from sanctuary


3:33

we talked about this a couple weeks ago


3:35

this gorgeous square neckline so


3:38

flattering so pretty i'm actually going


3:39

to pop this guy on just so we can talk


3:41

about the neckline on this one you can


3:43

also see


3:45

the rise on these now this pan does have


3:47

a belt loop we've been talking a little


3:48

bit about belts too lately and how they


3:50

can really finish a look one of the


3:52

things i think is really fun about a


3:54

wide leg pant


3:57

is


3:58

especially when it's got a higher waist


4:00

is that you can really nip in that waist


4:02

and accentuate it with a belt this is


4:04

that little free people cammy love this


4:06

guy for a simple little layer okay so


4:09

we've got this great little sanctuary


4:10

top grounded in navy it's got shades of


4:14

light blue


4:15

a little bit of pink here and a little


4:17

bit of kind of a creamy white


4:20

i see a strap


4:21

behind me


4:23

more fluid sleeve and then you can see


4:26

right the bottom is just open now


4:29

yes you could do this right it's flowy


4:32

it's easy it's super relaxed fun but


4:36

i am going to take advantage of these


4:38

amazing pants


4:39

and the fact they just give me a


4:41

fantastic waist


4:43

even on the days when maybe


4:45

my waist is


4:46

not as cooperative as i'd like it to be


4:49

and do a little tuck there you go now


4:51

i've got a little bit more shape and you


4:53

can also see i think when you do that


4:55

full tuck


4:56

it really helps to elevate the look and


4:58

dresses it up just a little bit more now


5:01

especially yeah you could absolutely do


5:03

these you can also pop on like that


5:05

great shoots heel


5:07

neutral elevates it even more or for you


5:11

longer legged ladies you can pop on just


5:13

a flat slide put that guy on and it


5:15

feels a little bit more casual easy


5:17

breezy let's talk about that square


5:19

neckline


5:20

flattering and easy one of the things i


5:22

love about this neckline is it is bra


5:24

friendly


5:25

but still really opens up the neck so


5:28

elongates your neck


5:30

opens up your chest if you are more full


5:32

figured it doesn't


5:34

make you feel top heavy if you are more


5:36

petite it balances you out a really


5:39

really easy one to wear kind of the


5:41

sister to this under our own label is


5:44

this beautiful paisley version so you


5:46

can see this guy i would say of the two


5:49

what are the differences a little bit


5:51

i'd say of a sweeter more delicate print


5:54

this to me reads a little bit more


5:57

bohemian so this is from ronan ryan it's


6:00

more of a paisley print versus this


6:01

which i think is more of an abstract


6:03

floral this is definitely grounded


6:06

in that deep rich navy but has great


6:09

hits of cream and taupe and pink so if


6:12

you like a little bit i'd say more
