We are taught at a young age, that when dressing ourselves there are certain colours that go nicely together, and other that should NEVER be paired for an outfit. Today I’m breaking those silly rules, as I’m wearing the perfect cropped black tank and an amazing pair of navy linen pants. This bruise inspired colour-way, is the number one combination I’ve been told to stay away from with the rhyme, “black and blue should never been seen, unless they’re in the washing machine” always playing in my head. Ensuring that the black is a rich dark black and that the navy has blue and purple qualities will help make sure this tricky coupling will work.

This is a very old way of looking at colour and fashion. I dare you to break some rules, if not daily at least on the weekend, when your fashion choices can be a bit more liberal.

What I’ve come to realize, is that glasses can be the one accessory to make a huge impact on how you look. A simple change of the frames can switch up your look from 70’s glam to geek chic.

ClearlyContacts.ca‘s spring 2015 campaign was asking their Look Ambassadors to Bend the Trend, and they make it so easy to stay on top of their eyewear trends, with super cute frames. My trend that I represented was the Full Circle, which I adore, and this look is perfect to reflect the 70’s trend that is all the rage this spring season. My girl, Marie, who is an eyewear designer breaks down the season’s biggest trends right now on ClearlyContact’s blog.
