After a harsh, tedious, forever lasting (or at least that's how it seemed) winter it's finally spring! Which in the town of Winchester, VA it means Apple Blossom Festival! For those of you that have no idea what it is you can visit the official website here explaining what it is and all the activities that take place.
Even though I'm a fan of this fun filled festival there is one thing I CAN NOT stand… watching hundreds of people wearing head to toe the most hideous shade of pink and green there could be ever combined. Just because they are both the official "colors" of Apple Blossom it doesn't mean you have to wear pink and green hair accessories with a pink tank top, green short shorts, pink flip flops, and pink and green manicure (unless it's tastefully done). I can't!!!
That's the reason why I decided to do this public service announcement and give my two cents, from a wardrobe stylist perspective, to help the community to not look tacky but rather festively chic.
Hope these ideas helped at least a notch and inspire people to think outside the box when it comes to choosing your Apple Blossom outfits. After all it's not like I'm banning the pink and green combination, they could just be used in a different way, like a pop of color, as long as it's tastefully done.
From a stylist perspective,
Claudia Garcia
