Behind the Greens
I was going for the monochromatic look today, but turns out the dress is not the same green as the sweater... That only became obvious in the pictures. Oh well, it might not be the perfect match, but it is not the worst match either. I was trying to dress down a fancy dress by layering a knit cardicoat over it and adding metallic booties for a hint of edginess. Had the dress been greener, I think it would have turned out great! I'm not super loving this look, but I'm not disliking it either. Let's put this one in the maybe pile.

Forest Floral
I'm kind of having a thing for printed pants lately... I just find them so delightful and inspiring. A well-tailored pant infused with a fun print brings them to life! Printed tops also work when adding interest to a look, but I feel printed bottoms give it that extra bang! The print is more often in movement when you walk, so it becomes more of a focal point. I'm also a big fan of colour and prints that allow me to wear a bunch of colours at once, while remaining put together... I express myself through my style and I like to think my personality as is colourful and interesting as the prints I wear! Never a dull moment with me!

Navy Plaid
I'm loving minis right now and, in my book, the best print ever for a mini is plaid. I chose to match my navy and forest green skirt with my lace-sleeve navy top. Since the zippers on the skirt are gold, I accessorized with gold necklaces, earrings and bracelet. I also threw my gold sequin flats into the mix! I dug out my deep green cardicoat purchased a few years ago to wear as my as my outside layer. The chunky knit is perfect for the in-between seasons. This look was both preppy and cozy!

Burgundy and Me
Burgundy is a special colour to me as it was one of the school colours of both my high school and university. It is also very close to the colour of my birthstone. I naturally gravitate to it. This outfit has a quadruple dose of burgundy. The t-shirt, the necklace, the pants and the sweater are all in this fetish shade. What makes this work however is the different textures each piece brings to the outfit. The pants are printed in an intricate geometric pattern, the t-shirt has a dolphin hem of georgette, the necklace adds a bit of sheen and the sweater is a much deeper shade that anchors the look. I opted for little gold flats to pick up on the hardware of the necklace and on a more subtle colour found in the pant. Monochromatic does not have to be boring or all black!
