Dear Readers,
I want to apologize for the two week hiatus. I was on Spring break and since then I have been dealing with a lot of personal stuff. However, I’m back to talk about the fashion show I was at for Phoenix Fashion Week and some things I observed that I wanted to share with you guys.
Last weekend, I went to Phoenix to work the MIM Fashion Show, the second biggest fashion show put on by Phoenix Fashion Week. It was a blast and I had so much fun looking at everyone’s clothes and meeting the people in charge of Fashion Week as well as some of the designers. The clothes were as gorgeous as the night and it was definitely a show not to forget. It took place at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix right on the border of Scottsdale. It’s a gorgeous museum with a great courtyard where the show was staged.
As fun as the event was, I wanted to talk about some of the fashion trends I’ve been noticing lately; starting with the fashion show.
I’ve discovered a secret recipe for this Spring’s fashion trends – Mixing hot and cold colors together. For example, some awesome mix-ups are mint (cold) and salmon (hot), blue (cold) and yellow (hot), and green (cold) and orange (hot). Let me show you what I mean.

Necklace by Nasty Gal
In this half-outfit, I’ve got a gorgeous light orange blouse with a mint necklace. Both colors just seem to pop when put together which is something I love, especially with these amazing Spring colors.

Shoes by UrbanOG
Here’s another example using the blue and yellow combination. This is more of a bold look, but I still think it’s super cute.
Feel free to mess around with different colors! Try some fun color-blocking combinations and challenge yourself to not buy black next time you’re out shopping! I recently did that and got a lot of cute colorful stuff out of it. Have fun with this, and show me your mix-ups!
Love,
Ash
