I’m wearing at least three different shades of both black and blue in this outfit:
 |
| My ass is a total attention-whore in this skirt (and sort of in general). |
As you can see, the sweater (Jones New York via Ross) is a different shade of black than the leggings (Target) which is a different shade of black than the boots (Chinese Laundry via Piperlime). And the skirt (Target) has navy and turquoise stripes, but I went ahead and added a cobalt scarf anyway (H & M). So, yeah, I’m wearing three different shades of each color. But, I’m pretty sure that’s what makes it work.
Seriously, if your blacks, or your blues, don’t match, embrace it. Then everyone thinks it’s intentional and not a case of “I swear, it looked good in the dark.”
Or you can wear rhinestone jewelry and then nobody pays attention to your outfit anyway:
I didn’t actually wear the rhinestones to detract from my outfit though. I’m wearing them because I’m going to happy hour after work with my friend Jenny and Lori. And because the sun is out today and I like the sparkle.
Happy Friday, Everyone! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Cute look! I like all those pretty bracelets. :)

ReplyDeleteOoooh pretty sparklies! And I'd argue that the different shades add complexity to the look :) For realz!
ReplyDeleteThis whole look here is adorable. Those bracelets are super fun! Maybe tonight I'll bust out some rhinestones to go to dinner, consider me inspired!
ReplyDeleteit works! they all go together to me, & that jewelry makes me happy just looking at it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is awesome and I didn't even notice the different shades of black. I was too distracted by that amazing skirt!

i've found that various hues of the "same" color also works well if the textures are different, like your knit sweater and the leggings.
ReplyDeletethat skirt is great; looks awesome!

That rhinestone bracelet looks really gorgeous...love the vintage jewelry look so much better than most modern pieces! Haha, my butt and thighs are always competing for attention...totally understand how that goes. This skirt makes you look really fabulous though, if you ask me--it's good attention!

I love all of your arm sparkle! This is such a cute look. I love the sweater and fitted stripe skirt. The sweater is the perfect length for that skirt.

I never would have noticed the different shades of black because I look at the whole outfit and it all works great together. I'm a little envious you can wear that kind of stretchy skirt because it's so cute! I'm about to leave for work and you reminded me I forgot to put on bracelets. Off to accessorize!
ReplyDeleteI think that skirt is so great with the blue scarf. I wouldn't quite know how to wear it but this looks perfect with the black. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely!
