This week we’re continuing to cover colors in honor of Pantone’s Fall 2013 Color Report and the quick approaching Fall season. What’s your favorite color to wear to give a great first impression? It may be a cobalt blue that compliments your blue eyes or a pretty olive that looks great on your naturally tan skin. My personal favorite is red! In the psychology world, red is known to attract. By wearing red, you can impress that gorgeous guy you’ve had your eye on or land that perfect job because this color will make you more appealing to the eye. That’s why I’m happy to announce the seventh of the ten colors in Pantone’s Fall 2013 Color Report is… samba!

In the above set, I featured a look which incorporates the color samba. This color is so beautiful and rich; perfect for the upcoming Fall season. The name of the color reminds me of Latin nightlife and sensual dancing, while the hue itself is reminiscent of the leaves changing for Autumn. For the look, I featured a samba Alexander McQueen structured blazer paired with red floral blouse and a khaki L.K. Bennett pencil skirt. I absolutely love the McQueen structured blazer! The sharp lines and natural shape of the blazer will create the perfect balance for a flattering look. I accessorized with samba Gianvito Rossi suede pointed toe heels and a tan Yves Saint Laurent top handle tote. For jewelry, I chose an Oscar de la Renta multi-stone cuff and floral resin stone earrings.

Do you love samba? How would you style it?
