Style Perspectives - Patterned Shirt
Wednesday, March 23, 2016
Oh my gosh, I can't even tell you how much stress this week's prompt has given me! (In case you're new around here - The Blended Blog is hosting a Style Challenge, with Weekly prompts, more info below).
I kept interpreting the prompt "Patterned shirt with neutrals" differently. My first thought was any patterned shirt with neutral pants. So all week I've been stressing about neutral pants.What colour should I wear? Are jeans a neutral? And then today when I finally put my look together, I had a panic attack - what if it meant the SHIRT should be neutral, if that's the case I've failed miserably. If not then I think I did okay.
Here's what I ended up with:
Patterned Shirt - Kohls - 2 years ago
Skinnies - Old Navy
Boyfriend Cardy - Old navy
Booties - Payless
Amazing necklace - Gift
Bright coral lipstick - Stila Stay all day liquid (run dont walk to sephora to get this) in Carina
A few notes about this photo:
- Yes, it's snowing. After being spring like weather for the last two weeks, we're back to snow.
- I'm a photographer and I forgot my famous line of "Chin out and down" so I have 17 chins
- I didn't Photoshop them out for the sake of being 'truthful'. Though in the spirit of being honest I did try for 30 full minutes.
- I'm not sure why I'm standing like that. I didn't have to pee honestly. I think maybe I figured it would make me skinnier in the photo.
I love that we're keeping track of each week's look. Look how pretty we were last week:
