Crazy For Coral...the Preppy's "Answer-to-Orange"

Ah, coral...first you start out with this biblot from Halcyon Days...


...then add a cute tunic-top motif key fob from Tory Burch and...




...find you can't resist these estate earrings from Ross Simmons...









...or this great handbag from, but of course, Kate Spade which...





...pairs up perfectly with these sandals from Brooks Brothers that...







...finish off this shift dress available through Gumps, ah coral!






This season it's a sea of coral out there... coral hued-orange... a stylish color that's both fun and elegantly-appropriate as we go from late Spring on into Summer's warmer, humid tropical days.





Last month while down in Key West I so enjoyed snorkeling around a coral reef, ah coral!





Last Sunday as I was reading the Scripture lesson in church, I glanced up and saw a sea of coral out in the pews. Now, us conservative Episcopalians will from time to time have a bright color or two and even a Lilly Pulitzer print popping up among parishioners however, this bevvy of brights in the various shading of coral was unusual. Very pretty indeed! I too had a coral-hued dress on in the form of bright coral flowers set out onto a light champagne silk background with the structured shift dress I sported. What fun...





This season there are a lot of fun little "pops" of coral-colored wardrobe pieces and accessories as well as jewelry to add into one's wardrobe. Above in the pictures I've highlighted just a few of some of my favorites available out there by Preppy purveyors.





Enjoy a dash of coral this summer!
