Pops of Orange + March's Trend of the Month

These Chinese Laundry heels make me smile.  
They are just "happy" shoes! 



  
I couldn't decide on a clutch for this look...which do you prefer?  
The pop or orange or the neutral cream?

Sweater - Halogen
Skirt - WallpapHer (similar HERE)
Orange clutch - H&M
Watch - Michael Kors
Bracelet - J.Crew

And now it's time to reveal the "Trend of the Month Link-Up" theme for March!  This trend was huge on the runways and will be hard to miss in stores this spring...

I'm talking about...



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 1 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, March 20

I can't wait to see all the ways you style lace!

Sue @ A Colourful Canvas said...

Now these shoes I love!!! And my vote goes to the orange clutch. I love orange and blue together.

Funny, before I opened the post, I was all over a pop of orange being the trend of the month, LOL. Like giddy about it. Buuut... I can do lace too!

See you soon,

Sue xo

Jen @ Cuddles and Chaos said...

I vote orange....this is one of my favorite color combos!

Wore Out said...

I can see why these heels make you smile, they are the perfect height, and add the perfect pop of color against your navy skirt. Personally I like the orange clutch, just a bit bolder, but you can never go wrong with cream!

teachinginstyle said...

Those shoes. Amazing! Love the orange.

Lovely

Carly Pearl said...

Absolutely love lace, hopefully I can find time to actually make a post this month for it been wanting to do the trend challenges since reading your blog last summer. Time challenges have gotten in the way of that. As for clutch I love white one since the orange one is really big for the proportions of the outfit and you already have a pop of colour in a very soft neutral outfit.

MissRockwell said...

The pops of orange definitely took the outfit over the top. And those shoes...gah, they're gorgeous!!

Lisa said...

Both colors work: the neutral for a classy-er look and the pop of orange for more fun! It all depends on the occasion. My style is always a bit more classy so the neutral draws my eye.

The natural clutch looks better, orange one looks too big for delicate outfit.
