Good morning everyone!
Today I decided to show my outfit in a different way. I think this is a nice way to do it too. So I am wearing navy blue leggings with navy blue boots too. The dress is from Old Navy from a few years back but still in as any jeans always are. The scarf is from the Christmas Bazaar and made by the victims of Sex trafficking. Totally worthy cause!!!
These scarves are so beautiful and versatile that I could not help it but buy three of them. One of them is 100% silk though, beautiful and very light. You can see it below.
It has been raining and cold here in the Northwest so the season of boots is upon me. I wear boots almost everyday until March or so. It is a good thing I have so many boots to vary from day-to-day.
I have to say that the top picture is a lot easier for me to share. But I will go ahead and focus on why I think these outfits work.
#1 They are comfortable and make me feel good about myself.
#2 They complement each other colors. The navy blue from the pants is present on the scarf. The toucans from the scarf have a blue tinge to them and it goes well together. The lacy boot cuffs bring the color of the dress to light and even though you don’t see it, I am wearing green jewelry (Jade from New Zealand) because the scarf has enough green to use that to my advantage.
The idea is not to do too much matching, whenever possible one should try to find pop up colors so that it adds interest to the outfit. (I was an avid viewer of ‘What Not To Wear’ show and they always mentioned this idea.) The second outfit was more ‘monochromatic’ because I only played with 3 of the colors, cream, gray (which are both neutral colors) and the deep turquoise. As luck would have it, the turquoise from the scarf is on the shirt on the shoulders. The jewelry also played off the turquoise from the scarf and shirt. The rest is all neutral with only adding interest through the fur on the boot cuffs.
Well, thank you for taking time to read this post. Don’t forget to sing up for the blog for some future updates.
