This is an outfit that I wish had photographed a little bit
better because it gets its interest not from color, but from pattern and
texture:
Really, the only color I’m wearing is the rose-colored skirt
(thrifted and taken up). Otherwise, the
outfit is just shades of black, gray and cream.
But, there are stripes on the sweater-blazer (Halogen via Nordstrom) and
polka dots on the tights (Target). And
there are different textures with the skirt, the blazer, the lace top (Limited)
and the leather boots (Gap). I think all
of the different textures, along with the mix of patterns, make the outfit
deceptively complex. At the same time
though, it’s a pretty easy outfit, which is nice for a Monday.
Again, it’s one that I really liked and I just wish the
photographs showed it better.
Happy Monday, All!

P.S. For you Walking Dead watchers, I think The Violet
Reaction’s comment in my last post is absolutely correct. Then again, I haven’t seen last night’s show
yet…
