I didn't review/discuss the Spring 2013 collections as I did the Fall shows here and here. But, I did have a gander through some runway show pics via Style.com and found some unexpected inspiration from designer Mary Katrantzou, who was not previously on my radar. Some of her looks for Spring 2013:
The bright blues of this collection felt very fresh for spring. So often spring equals pastels, but for Mary Katrantzou it's all about bold blues with graphic black and white. My real world take involves two pieces from Dorothy Perkins and a blazer I have from Asos:
I've had this blazer, from Asos, since the fall and it is a strikingly close match to the MK blazer above. The shirt and pants, from Dorothy Perkins, invoke the graphic prints and color palette of the Mary Katrantzou looks. I'm hoping that the tonal similarities among the three pieces will keep the outfit from being ridiculous, pattern wise, but instead graphic. I plan for this to be an office outfit if it all works together. Hehehe, get it? Works together... I'm here all week folks!
Currently awaiting delivery of the blouse and pants, so we shall see.

| Navy Ombre Blazer, kind of sort of similar here |
