A Little Going

The jewels on this sweatshirt do not match this skirt:


Top: LOFT  Skirt: thrifted vintage  Shoes: Old Navy (similar, similar)



But, the jewels on this sweatshirt go with this skirt:

LOFT Jeweled Sweatshirt


Why do they go?  Because the color of the jewels and the color of the skirt are in the same color family; that sort of burgundy/wine/claret color family.  They may not match, but being in the same family tricks the eye into thinking they match.  Or, close enough for government work.


Especially from far away:


See?


This trick is why you don't have to worry over much about whether or not what you're wearing matches.  The eye doesn't require a perfect match; it just requires a little going.


Happy Wednesday, All!
