Day 15 of 30: Scary Color Combo

When I saw the inspiration (EVERY TIME I try to type that word, I type inspriation first, arg) photo for today, I loved it and thought it was super cute but wrote it off immediately because I didn't have anything like that in my 30 for 30 (and I tend to take these inspiration pictures too literally).


BUT WAIT!  I have a dress the color of the cardigan and a cardigan the color of the skirt!  Now there were only two problems: 1. I just wore the cardigan on Thursday, and 2. Do these colors even go together?  They do on Diane Kruger, but I wasn't sure about on me.  So this color combination is definitely a stretch for me.  I planned to spend most of the day not wearing the cardigan because it made me nervous.

Dress and Hat: Target; Cardigan: New York & Company; Shoes: Kohl's;  Belt: husband's

Holy moly, my hair looks dark in these pictures.

When I actually put the outfit together, I realized that the colors do go together quite well even though it's still a lot of color, especially for such a gray day. The hat will have to wait to go back on until after work, and I did take the cardigan off as soon as I got in the office because it was actually warm for once. But all in all, I like the outfit, and I'm happy Inspiration Monday made me think outside of the box once again!

    I agree with Shelly - Great color combo. Two Birds certainly is making me delve into the deepest depths of my creativity (and closet!), and I love it.

    I LOVE these pieces together. I'm so glad you put these together, they are fabulous on you. And can I just say how jealous I am of your ability to rock a hat? You look gorgeous.

    Agreed, your look upstages Diane Kruger's especially with the added print of your skirt! I really like that you used your husband's belt, I love to steal my husband's watch.

    how great is it that you had these same colors in your 30/30!?

    i also love that you were able to incorporate both the belt and hat, i don't own a hat but wore a belt on my waist like you did

    you look fantastic!

    Your dress and cardigan are lovely together. I had the same feeling about the colour combination, but they do go so well together. That hat is great on you.
