Putting this jacket into the challenge limited the bottoms I could do it with; only the purple brocade skirt, the black skirt and this grey skirt actually work with it. I do have more than one black skirt (I have several), so I can wear it with other things, but it's not exactly a wardrobe staple. I might wear it one more time this month, I'm thinking.
I liked how the paler grey of the skirt brought out the lighter grey in the brocade of the jacket.
The stuff:
I am seriously in love with these Cydwoqs. They are so comfortable!
This is a late blog entry. I am starving as I had a long hair appointment tonight. I had a little something put in my hair:
Jacket (Naughty), skirt (Club Monaco), shoes (Cywoq).
Ooh, like the hair!!
ReplyDeleteLove the turquoise in your hair!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is beautiful too, a great statement piece even if you can't wear it every day! :)

The new hair accent is wow-cool! I think you're doing your re-mixing in grand style.
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning over those beautiful tights. And like the whole ensemble. Seeing your outfits makes me feel good inside. Warm and happy.
ReplyDeleteLoving the turquoise stripe :-). (is this what happens when you limit your wardrobe, you're forced to add extra excitement in your hair? ;-))
ReplyDeleteHow are you finding the challenge?
Love your style! I work at a Cydwoq retailer (buloshoes.com) and found your blog doing a Cydwoq google search. You are fabulous!

What a cool turquoise stripe! I have been wanting to do that myself.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is lovely!
The turquoise streak is AWESOME! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love those tights so much.
Whoa to the streak of turquoise...wondering if I could do something similar to the grey stripe in my hair! This jacket is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOmgomgomg YES! Your hair turned out so great. I think this outfit turned out really great. That jacket is kind of a difficult piece, but the shapes work in a complementary way.
ReplyDeleteOMG how cool is THAT ?
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to make a statement. I also like how the color contrasts with your red hair.
I tried blue on my hair a few years ago but it was not even noticeable...
The streak turned out great! Good for you for being so brave
ReplyDeletedid you have your hair red previous to the blue? i'm trying to do the same thing. did you just dye the blue over the red? orr?
ReplyDeleteBethany, I dye my hair red myself. My hairdresser bleached the streak (making it white/blonde) first, then dyed the blue over it.
DeleteWhen I colour my hair now, I soak the blonde streak (the blue faded out really fast!) in conditioner, then wrap it up in cling-wrap with an elastic so that it doesn't get any dye on it. My hairdresser refreshes the bleaching every couple of months.
