Nothing matches...and it's a good thing!

Occasionally, I like to try and pick out an outfit that deliberately doesn't have any matching components, but just lives int he same color palette. I really like where I ended up today. Striped tees are pretty in right now, and this one is cream with gray stripes. Skirt is navy, belt is brown, shoes are eggplant, and purse is purple patent leather.

I feel like it looks a little more interesting than a perfectly matched outfit. Keep in mind I was raised in an era where sweaters at Express came with matching socks, so this is a hard habit to break.

What do you think?

  1. Love it. European chic with a touch of 50's. Excellent combination of shoes, skirt and top.
