Basics are always easy to style, it are the eye catching pieces like this stripey top that might offer a bit more of a challenge, a fun challenge like being asked to style this striped top into 3 different looks for a <a href="http://fashionplanetmagazine.tv/editie1/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">H&M x Fashion Planet collaboration</span></a>. I ended up having a blast creating the looks, wearing the top under a dress in my first look, loving the big sleeves with the </i><i>voluminous dress and styling the striped top with a printed midi skirt for my 2nd look while combining the top with a different set of stripes and a maxi skirt for my 3rd look.</i><br /><i>xoxo</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>wearing: All items <a href="http://www.hm.com/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">H&M</span></a> except the pink <a href="http://miista.com/shopping/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Miista</span></a> booties, Chanel vintage purse and <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Accessories/Handbags,-Clutches-Wallets/AM210/Womens-Soft-Leather-Bowling-Bag?NavGroupID=1"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Boden mint bowling bag</span></a>.</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>photos by <a href="http://www.fashionisaparty.com/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Suz</span></a></i><br /><br /><img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-2_zps9ea1bb0b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-2_zps9ea1bb0b.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-3_zps2d003be8.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-3_zps2d003be8.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-8_zps7884e480.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-8_zps7884e480.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-4_zps7ac8a995.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-4_zps7ac8a995.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-6_zpse9ae0744.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-6_zpse9ae0744.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-1_zpsb9726a43.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-1_zpsb9726a43.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-9_zps950bfb26.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-9_zps950bfb26.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-10_zps2b101316.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-10_zps2b101316.jpg" /> <img alt=" photo cocorosa-HM-7_zps58d6fd4a.jpg" border="0" src="http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt84/cocorosa_photo/LOOKS/cocorosa-HM-7_zps58d6fd4a.jpg" /><br /><br />

Mix, Match and Color Blocking

A simple add of a bright color like red, green, yellow or fuchsia in accessories adds such a spark of contrast and color to pastel and soft white looks. A bright red tote can complete a look into perfection as I found out. </i><br /><i><br /></i><i>My whole introduction to my single accessory color splashes came when I received an email from <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/?sc=D47Q&cm_mmc=Bloggers-_-$ref$-_-Blogger-_-Blogger"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Boden</span></a> and I found myself pleasantly surprised by continually peeking into <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/?sc=D47Q&cm_mmc=Bloggers-_-$ref$-_-Blogger-_-Blogger"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">the site</span></a> loving the soft pink with red combinations in looks, mint colors set against bold stripes and splashes of yellow that started to grow on me.
