Embellished and Olive

I'm sad to say that this outfit is not an original idea:

Sweatshirt: LOFT (similar)  Vest: Old Navy (similar)
Scarf: Gifted (similar)  Jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Born Crown "Sosie" (similar)

Nope.  Not original.  In fact, brazenly ripped off from this Pin:

As you can see, my outfit is less seasonally confused (Tulips and layers?  And is that snow on the ground? What is going on here?!) than the original, but it's basically the same.


Well, almost.  My outfit is also considerably less blinged-out than the original, but I like the colored jewels on this sweatshirt.  Especially with the claret color of the scarf:

Now if only I can get that Louis Vuitton bag...


Happy Thursday, All!

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!
