lace and stones

I like the juxtaposition of textures when putting a look together. The soft chiffon and lace with a leather crocheted belt and lots of stone jewelry create a balance and keep this from looking like a wedding dress. Light colors are paired with bold accessory colors. And speaking of color, this marks my last post where I accessorize with coral and turquoise jewelry. They are my favorite colors, and apparently I use them as accent colors a LOT. I can't promise how long the strike will last, but I'm going to try to explore new jewelry colors! (See how I put those yellow and pink bangles in there? Working on it ;)

high-low hemline

Some of the high-low hemmed skirts on the market right now are a little too mullet-esque for my taste. I liked this one from Forever 21 for making the slope from high-to-low really gradual. To keep this look from going into full-on ballerina territory, I paired this wrap top and chiffon skirt with some funky accessories in an unexpected palette. When I am throwing a lot of colors into the mix, I like to ground a look with matching belt and shoes. To quote Cher Horowitz, it "gives [me] a sense of control in a world full of chaos."
