The weather outside is still autumnal so another fall outfit today (in June!). This cardigan is another buy from the Spanish market. I had been looking for a long time for something in this colour, and when I spotted it, instantly got it without thought to price.
It's a very neutral taupe colour which goes with everything. I am trying to introduce more contrasts into my wardrobe so wore it with my orangey-red French shirt instead of a taupey coloured top. The scarf is also from the market and doesn't really go, but doesn't clash either:
I would've normally worn lighter-coloured tights, but the ones I had were a bit too light for the weather so I subbed in a pair that had a pattern with some lighter coloured lines.
It was the first time I wore the cardigan and when I took off the tags, noticed that the safety pin was very unusual:
Have you seen anything like it? Here it is open:
It may not be anything special, but I like uncommon things, so will probably keep it - at least for a while, pack-rat that I am.
This is a really lovely outfit. The pink and grey tones are great together, the skirt is oh so flattering, and the tights are sassy! I think I've seen pins like that attaching tags to clothing - they're cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly! It took forever to actually buy the tights because the store was out and I kept having to go back to check for my size.
DeleteThe colors and textures in this look are wonderful. And it is an unusual safety pin!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri! Ooh, I'm glad you noticed the textures - I've kept that top around for just that reason - it almost looks like a ribbon weave.
DeleteYou look great...i like the pop of red in this neutral outfit...nice accent. I like the scarf as a accessory too. Cute safety pin..may be good for some refashion ideas..haha

Hi Mongs! Thanks! I do have a safety pin project in mind, just have to draw it out and find some time to do it.
DeleteI like the scarf and necklace together. I try this combo sometimes and think it is "too much," but seeing it on you makes me realize that it looks great! I guess I'm just not used to seeing it on myself.
ReplyDeleteNice use of the bright orange with taupe, too.
Hi Louise! You know what? I've seen scarves in the store with a necklace attached - so it must be a new look or something.
