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!

Spring Sweatshirt

I wish I could tell you it's warm enough in Oregon to do away with sweatshirts.  But, it's not.  Not even close.  At least not for the last week or so.  No, instead, it's been raining and windy and basically sweatshirt weather.  Sure I could fight it and freeze to death, or I could just find a spring sweatshirt.

As you can probably guess, I did the latter, finding this cream-colored, embellished sweatshirt at the LOFT:

Top: LOFT  Jeans: Old Navy  Boots: Piperlime

I would have like to have paired it with a cute little skirt, but again, it's not warm enough for all that here.  Instead, I paired it with jeans, boots and even a scarf!

Because it's that cold.  And because leopard scarves are awesome:

Earrings: Nordstrom  Scarf: FRAAS

So, while I am bitter that I have to wear a sweatshirt and jeans when it's nearly May, I'm glad it's a cute sweatshirt that pairs with leopard:

Happy Monday, All!
