mismatched bridesmaids part two

For blogger's block, I wanted to have a styling challenge I could always come back to. I've decided to revisit my coordinated bridesmaid guidelines (it probably won't be the last time :) First blue chiffon, now sunset colored laces. The textures are varied-- a different lace for each lady-- but they are grounded in similar colors and accessories. I've kept the bracelets and earrings simple to avoid competing with the lace details each of these dresses has. Finally, I had to take advantage of all these  kicky coral and beige shoes on the market, though simpler gold shoes would also finish the look nicely.

red flare jeans

I have a new rule when making new purchases: I have to be able to make 3 outfits with a new piece. I've recently been into high waisted flare jeans, and I think I can get away with just a standard, dark wash situation. But then I saw these little red numbers on Asos. Determined to prove these aren't just for Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused, I've paired red flares with a few staples from my own closet. 
First look: tshirt, necklace, belt, wedges. Second look: shirt, belt, wedges. Third look: tank, cardigan, necklace, cuff, boots
