As you may have noticed, I wear a lot of black and white, and sometimes I like to throw in a bit of earth tones or navy into the mix. Lately, however, I’ve been yearning to wear some red. Well… actually, a lot of red. I’m really feeling the look of an outfit that mixes bright red with dark red, nude and tan, so I decided to go with my gut and explore this combination myself. Although I have some other items from my closet that I want to experiment with, the first outfit that came together nicely with that color scheme was this one. I bought this top and skirt from H&M about a year ago and I’ve worn them several times before, separately. Together, I felt like it was all too matchy and I needed to add something else into to the mix to make things interesting. Enter this bright red bomber jacket! It’s still matchy, but it just adds some edge into it all precisely because it’s taking matchy to the limit; to the edge of sanity. I would’ve never thought red with red and more red would look cool, but once I put all this together and looked in the mirror, my heart fluttered a bit. Yes. Really! Fashion has that effect sometimes. I know you know! It just goes to show you; maybe style is not something that lies in the mind but more in the gut, and definitely in the heart.
What do you think? Have you experimented with a color scheme that maybe makes no sense in your mind but somehow works IRL? Do tell.
