When I walked into the studio for speesees organic baby clothing last month, I was instantly enchanted by the color combos of the apparel on display. The proprietress, Rachel, was wearing a striking palette herself – a hot red sweater paired with a cool turquoise shirt. Over the next few weeks, I found this pairing all around me. It must be the new hottest (or coolest) thing. Is red the new pink? And aqua is the new blue?

I like it.

My favorite color combo! Been using it for years – even on my jewelry site! LOVE it. Thanks for sharing!

I think Mason now owns everything in that color combo from Speesees. Love, LOVE their stuff.

You probably don’t remember this but when I had my boutique it was light turquoise and red.
