STYLE TIP:
With a large print (such as the stripes on this skirt), consider mixing in a bold color!
It provides contrast and balance.
Skirt - J.Crew
Sweater - J.Crew
Necklace - J.Crew
Bracelet - J.Crew
Heels - BCBG
Sunglasses - Tory Burch
And now it's time to announce the theme for the Trend of the Month Challenge! Very excited about this one... it's been a huge trend this summer and is slated to be even BIGGER this fall/winter:
HOW IT WORKS...IT'S AS EASY AS 1 - 2 - 3!:
1) In the middle of every month, I'll announce a new trend that is either here or forthcoming. You'll have a week to pull together a style and take photos.2) When the date arrives, simply link-up your specific post using the link widget I'll have posted on Marionberry Style. This MUST be a NEW post...please don't link old blog posts.
3) PLEASE link back to Marionberry Style from your site so this "Trend of the Month Challenge" stuff makes sense to your readers. Plus it's the kind thing to do and helps spread the word!
LINK UP DATE:
WEDNESDAY, August 1st
I hope you'll join!!
XO - Marion
Oh wait...2 more things:
1) I'm guest posting on one of my favorite blogs today - J's Everyday Fashion!

I really love your striped skirt! It looks so cute on you :)
I'm loving this color combo! and anything navy and white is so crisp...love!
I just may have to try the trend of the month challenge. I haven't done much mixing of patterns though ;)
that skirt is so cute! I have been wanting to try pattern mixing but have not - maybe this is my motivation!
We're both wearing stripes and hot pink today, how funny! Blogger ESP :) Yay for the pattern mixing!

Great look Marion! I saw this skirt at J Crew and loved it too, and it totally looks better in person on you than it did on the website! Love it paired with the bold colors and necklace - looks like a Kate Spade ad to me! :) And I'm super excited about this link up, great choice!

You are too cute - I love the pairing of a bold pattern and bold color! Trés chic!

I LOVE how pretty and girly this outfit is! JCrew has such inspiring clothing in catalogs and online. Wish I could wear it, too!
So happy for having found your blog, I really love your style! Im a new follower :)
