I never wear royal blue.
I’m not entirely sure why. When I walked up to shoot with my friend Cassandra today she exclaimed “oh, that’s such a great color on you!” I was kind of caught off guard.
“This color? Really!?”
I think I typically avoid it because it makes me think of my sister’s 90’s-tastic, satin, puffy-sleeved, royal blue prom dress that I used to parade around the house in when I was 7.
But when I was asked to team up with Piperlime, one of my favorite websites, I thought, there’s no better time to rock the color. There was something about the way the blue of this dress matches the blue of this coat perfectly. And the way it went from business casual to cheeky and darling with the addition some lacy socks (my favorite accessory these days). But the best part? These shoes.
Yes. They’re happening. And they’re perfect.
Which falls in line nicely with the rest of Piperlime’s new …everything? I’m drooling over this blouse, skirt, sweater, and romper (just to name a few). Shop all my favorites below!

Aww thank you Katie!!
My closet is filled with royal blue…and this is just feeding the addiction to the color! You pull those socks off so well. They remind me of a pair of white ones I wore when I was younger. I love that they’re back 🙂
OMG Jess you just brought me back in time. You’re right! Those little white socks — did you wear yours with patent leather buckle shoes too?
Beautiful photos! The blue coat looks gorgeous and now I totally want one! Have a great weekend Jess!

I was so lucky to have the best companion there to shoot with me 🙂
Might I ask what size you have in that coat? You inspired me to order one but I’m not sure which size I would be!
Hi Sarah!
I’m actually wearing a medium in this coat, but it’s big (I usually wear a small). I was just so smitten with the color that I didn’t mind it being a bit oversized (you can’t tell unless you button it, and I don’t usually button my coats anyway! The medium was the only size left in the store.)
I would say it runs a little larger than usual, so definitely order true to size or even a size down. I LOVE it. Its such a steal and looks like a total luxury purchase 🙂
Let me know how you like it!
