I’ve never not been a fan of blue but it hasn’t always been a color that I sought out either. Naturally I wear (blue) jeans constantly but they are worn so often that I kind of forget that they are well, blue. However, this year I think I am going to be all about blue, especially cobalt and royal blue. Why? I am in a wedding that features royal blue, one of my best friends favorite colors is cobalt and I splurged and bought a Kate Spade cobalt blue purse. The purse, which literally took me three days of holding it at Nordstrom to decide if it was *the* one will pretty much have to be carried every day to justify the price at this point in my college career. So prepare yourselves because the purse is going to be showing up a lot. Like, a lot, a lot. Suddenly I have gone from not really caring about blue to having an utter love affair with it. I’m in deep.

I'm like you, I've never cared too much about blue. I've worn it but it was never my favorite. But I've slowly learned to love it, especially in bold shades, or paired with green, like you have here!

Well she is just beautiful! I think you made an excellent choice and cobalt will definitely look good with everything and always be in style. Investing in handbags is always a wise choice, since a good leather bag will last a lifetime. That's what I think, anyway. (as I buy more bags than I will ever need).

It's funny but I usually forget that jeans are blue as well! I wear them so often that at times it seems like the color is jean color, not blue! Blue is a great color on you! I'm glad you'll be wearing it more often! Love that bag!!!

It's weird, but I was never really into blue until I was 23! My MIL gave me a very pretty blue cardigan for my birthday and since then, I've added more and more blue items to my wardrobe. My 2 designer purses are blue, and I love them! I think it's great because it's a color (not a neutral), but it pretty much goes with everything.

Ah! You look absolutely lovely in blue. I especially adore that bag! So cute, girl. 🙂

That bag is SO gorgeous! Your discussion of (blue) jeans reminded me of Spanish class when we were translating pieces of clothing. FYI, jeans in Spanish is "los bluejeans." Vital information, I know.

Haha I also spent a solid 3 days holding every bag in the Kate Spade collection- and it was to buy a bag for my mom! You definitely made the right decision. If you're going to invest in a bag, you picked such a beautiful, timeless one! That blue will go with everything. Love it!!

I'm a BIG fan of nearly all shades of blue. It's one of MY colours, meaning it suits my "summer" colouring (hair and skin tone). I was really happy when cobalt blue came out as one of the hot colours for this season and the next. I love navy blue too. It's a neutral that goes with absolutely everything. BTW, I also thought your Baby Blue look was wonderful. That Kate Spade bag is fabulous and I'm quite jealous. Never regret buying a well made quality bag, it may go in and out of fashion but it will last a lifetime.

guess we could say you're BLUE DA BA DI DA BA DI now! baahahahahhjashdjasd
but really, you're lucky that you're starting to like blue–I still really, really don't like it on myself. BUT EVERYONE ELSE ALWAYS LOOKS SO GOOD! Like you, with your pretty necklace and cute cuffed sleeves.
