What I’m Wearing
* Royal blue pencil skirt is Eva Franco {sizes run a little big, I should have sized down one}
* Grassy green blouse by Miguelina from GILT ages ago. Last seen here.
* Vintage orange cropped jacket… which yes, like an asshole, I’m wearing over my shoulders. I can’t help it, it just works so nicely for photos, and it was rather warm, but still, it’s uselessly illogical for reality as it does not stay on my shoulders. ever.
* Vintage Saks Fifth Ave striped clutch. Was my mom’s I think.
* Belt is deep brown crocodile… and thrifted with no brand.
* Leslie Danzis pink chain necklace and AV Max navy Python Pattern Bangle both from GILT
* Kenneth Cole white leather watch
* Gucci vintage stripe sunglasses
* Manolo Blahnik pink Mary Janes
* Title: lyrics from Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
I decided to pair just about every bold hued item of clothing I had in my closet together into one look. And it was BOLD… but definitely wearable. I think the key with mixing so many colors is making sure they are all of the same intensity, or same general area of the color wheel, so to speak. I originally had a bright yellow belt on, which I preferred to this one, however, the larger, darker choice was much more flattering. Looking back at the photos though, I almost wish I would have matched my bag to my belt, or at least chosen a darker over the white. Though I love that the stripes pick up almost all of the colors in the ensemble, the white background is a bit much and worked better with the yellow belt. Overall though, it was a fun look and reminded me a little {well a lot} of Joan from Mad Men. Speaking of Mad Men… the new season is so close I can feel it! Who else is ridiculously excited for its return?
Happy Thursday!
