Challenging my Color Palate
Sweater: Old Navy, Camisole: Kirkland Signature (Costco), Scarf: No idea (gift), Jeans: Earl Jean, Boots: Clarks Artisan Collection
I was all excited for Courtius's challenge. I pledged to myself, "I will do this challenge the next day I teach, on Friday."
Of course, I picked the worst possible day to try to look cute. When I say it was cold today, I mean it. I am talking 19 degree weather with a three degree windchill. I am talking wind gusts up to 40 mpg. I am talking nonstop snow flurries. So, the challenge became more complicated: not only did I need to push my color comfort zone, but I needed to do so in the warmest way possible.
To further complicate the matter, I have come to the conclusion that the amount of color in a given piece of clothing is inversely related to how warm said piece of clothing is. I have beautiful, skimpy bathing suits in vivid shades. When it is 19 degrees out, everything warm enough to wear is black, brown, grey, blue, or burgundy. Lacking oranges, pinks, or yellows- the colors that would push my fashion comfort zone, I decided to combine colors and patterns in a way I usually avoid.
Hence, the green and white stripped sweater with the coral colored undershirt. I accessorized with the pink, brown, and burgundy plaid scarf. When it is this cold, jewelry is just a thing to freeze against your skin. I finished the outfit off with a warm, thick, dark pair of jeans (perfectly acceptable to teach in, especially when it is freezing, especially on a Friday) and waterproof, warm, leather boots in a brownish/burgundy. Not my best take on a challenge, but at least it was a new pairing of items in my closet.
