Coral and Blue, Lite

Joy

Veteran

I tried Angie's coral and blue formula with aqua and peach. I forgot about the white so would use the white clutch instead of the coral bag and/or white sandals. The cardi has a patterned cotton lining. I'm not sure that this works on me. What do you think?
1: dress (Last years JJill)
2/3: dress with cardi (thrifted)
4: showing lining
Sandals are Seychelles.
I think the dress is best on it's own as it is very breezy, but I know a coverup will be needed in A/C today. Suggestions?

I think it works beautifully Joy. I really, really loke those two colors together, so fresh and pretty.

I really love the dress on its own. But the cardi looks good too but definitely not better than 1! Gorgeous colors on you BTW

Thank you, Tanya and Neel. Affirmation from such stylish lasses helps. I'm happy that you think the light colors are working. I wondered if they washed me out.

So pretty and feminine, Joy. I like it both ways.

I like it both ways. It also might look good with a narrow white belt to echo the sandal straps, and I agree with white or silver shoes to bookend as your hair adds a lovely pale silver to the outfit (so to my eye is already filling the 'white' role).

Gorgeous. Especially #1. You look prettier every year, Joy. TRULY. Much love and hugs to you. xo

The coral is such a nice touch -- soft and feminine, but not "girly" like pink!

Love the skimming quality of the dress.

Love these looks on you. Beautiful shades of colors I appreciate even more because I can't wear them.

This look is so--refreshing. Makes me feel more comfortable just looking at your photo.

I forgot to say that looking at your delicious outfit Joy, makes me feel like having a generous scoop of ice-cream.

Thank you all for your thoughts and ideas. Rabbit, a narrow white belt to fit at my waist is a wardrobe hole. I do have a narrow silver belt to try and a longer white belt that I use with low rise jeans that may work if I do some looping with the extra length at the waist. I like this idea to give the dress more structure.
Angie, now I know why I've been wanting to go for gelato all day

I love this Joy. You have a wonderful wardrobe. I need to run into J Uill sometime. I have never been into the one here.

Joy, I love the combo of these two colors! It reads very fresh to me.

Ah, J. Jill...comfy and good quality.

I too am missing a white belt for the waist. Sometimes I find that when I wear white bottoms, I don't want the belt to be obvious, hence the need. But I haven't seen any belts that are the proper width or the proper color (they're usually too off-white).

Beautiful dress and I like the cardi with the fun lining too!
