For his Spring/Summer 2011 show, Mr. Armani did an entire collection in shades of blue. His interesting usage of the color spawned a trend, and soon, you should expect to see cobalt pieces showing up in stores. Some magazines are touting the rise of the lbd (little, blue dress). You may even recognize this dress that Anne Hathaway wore from Armani’s line to a little awards show called the Oscars.  

 

Now, if you’re shopping in my price bracket, I’m sorry to say I haven’t seen much of it lately. So far, everything has been pretty neutral, but keep the faith. Surely, someone will start carrying it. How could they not? It’s such a flattering  shade to wear.

Until then, I’ll just be imagining myself at some sort of glamorous pool party where I could rock either of these looks. The one above is Pucci and below is an adorable number by Isabel Marant.
