Day #4? Are you freakin' kidding me?
Yes! Today's outfit is all about texture:
I'm doing blue with brown again, but like I said, texture is the key to this outfit.
Velvet blazer (new-to-me, $19.99), the applique thingy on the top with the beads, the big belt with the cutouts, the herringbone of the skirt, the patterned tights, the stitching on the shoes, the woven metal of the earrings, and the details on the bracelet (a new purchase).
A close-up of the tights. They are actually gold with a black pattern:
Funky shoes, man!
The stuff:
I adore that bracelet. It's another piece by Lucky Brand - it was on an extra 40% off the sale price, so I got it for $11.00, regular $40. I really like that it has little peace signs between the links. The blue mottled stone goes with the shirt, and the dark brown link is actually wood. Even the "stone" in the flower is cool. But what really sells me on a piece like this is the hidden details:
Isn't that amazing? That's the back - the designs are all raised. I love that there's a fishy type pattern.
One more day of the skirt! I am looking forward to doing it for Casual Friday!
Blazer (Gap, consignment), sleeveless shirt (Nygard), camisole (Esprit), skirt (Suzy Shier), belt (Plum), hose (Hue), shoes (Unlisted), earrings (don't remember), bracelet (Lucky brand).
those are some a-may-zing accessories! what a fabulous combo!
