Stepping out the door I wasn't so sure about the color combination and neither was my husband. Although after a while I felt that I made a good choice in the pairing of these pieces. I like to look back through the J. Crew catalogs (I mean "style guides") for inspiration. I stumbled upon this combination of mustard and a sort of robin's egg pastel blue. While it wasn't a combination I would instinctively gravitate to, it seemed to make sense. Sometimes the unexpected can be jarring although equally beautiful in its own right.
Outfit: Sweater: H&M, Blouse: Forever 21 here, Skirt: J. Crew no. 2 Pencil in double serge wool, Shoes: J. Crew CeCe Ballet Flat, Necklace: J. Crew Petals and Pearls
Arg ive wanted that necklace for so long! But thanks for the color palette inspiration - I love this look!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I purchased the necklace months ago during all of the 30% off promos during the holidays. It came out to be in the $30 range which I think was pretty reasonable.
ReplyDeleteI like the color combo! I think it worked well. Btw, such a beautiful necklace and for $30 ish, that's a great deal. :)

Thanks for confirming the color combo! I never know if I can trust my gut instinct or not!
