A Bright "June" Day


My neighbor June is originally from Scotland. She's survived some of the toughest things life can throw at you and come out the other side with a kick-ass sense of humor and a great sense of personal style. She is fond of quoting her mother as saying, "It's better to be out of the world than out of fashion." It's not right to tell a lady's age, but I will say that she is a mom and a grandmother, and still one of the best dressed gals I know.  I love to see what she is wearing everyday because she is a great reminder that fashion, style, and trends are not just for teens!
Colored pants have been a major trend since last fall, but one that a lot of us are afraid to try because we aren't sure what tops to put with them. In this look, June combines two hot trends: bright colored pants and black and white. (I may be a little jealous because she rocks her turquoise pants way harder than I do mine.) June's tip for wearing colored pants: Pair them with neutral tops to soften the overall look. If you normally wear a colored top and neutral bottoms, just flip them! It's great advice if you want to follow this trend without going overboard.
Still nervous about colored pants? Consider dark colors like forest green, plum, or burgundy or a more neutral color like olive. These colors will feel safer and never go out of style.
What's your favorite color for pants this season?
