For Tuesday's look, I remixed the grey wrap cardigan, this time tucking it into the waistband of the skirt. Three new items were worn, the black lace skirt, red pumps, and studded belt. I was going to just wear navy tights, but I switched to teal to give my outfit more color, and because I love red and teal/turquoise together so much!
Today the grey skirt, yellow flats, and studded belt were remixed and the red polka dot cardigan and heart scarf were introduced. I love playing with color and pattern - I didn't want to play this challenge in the safe zone with loads of black.
A few lessons learned this morning:
- Mixing patterns is fine, as long as one is dominant and one is recessive. Trying to wear polka dots, hearts, yellow shoes and burgundy zig-zag fishnets is too much!
- Indecision wastes too much time. I rearranged my scarf about ten times before going out the door. Just commit to something!
- The application of waterproof black eyeliner should not be rushed, or you shall end up with waterproof black smudges all over your eyelids and subsequently, fingers.
So, final challenge outfit tomorrow, and I already have it all planned out ;)
I have that exact same skirt.. wait, I think we've talked about this before, tehe. Goodness, your little red shoes are so cute! I agree, teal and red are so pretty, I never knew those two colors worked so well together until now! :)
