If you've been following the blog you're pretty familiar with my summer obsession with peaches, (as illustrated here and here and with a recipe that is soon to be shared from earlier this week!)
So far, I had only been thinking of peaches for the kitchen and how they could be incorporated into recipes, until I saw a woman walking to work - on another humid day in DC - in two different shade of peach/coral.
That's when it clicked; peaches and corals aren't only meant for bridesmaids dresses and Easter Egg Rolls! With some sun on your cheeks (or bronzer :) the color combination is flattering for all skin tones. The bright color plays beautifully with white, cream, blues, teal and navy, and depending on how it's styled it could apply to nearly any aesthetic.
