Green, Purple and some Bling

Shirt: Zara, Skirt: Loft, Neckwear: Send the Trend

Worn the same shirt here

Does Green and Purple work? Many a times some of the shirts need a cami underneath at work for appropriate necklines. I decided to try purple underneath a dark green shirt and then added the purple scarf to it. Does this combination work?

Mismatch

Sweater: Limited, Skirt: Loft

Well, the name says is all. I have observed that I always have a tough time pairing this skirt. Standalone, the skirt works. Its something about the pattern and the combination of colors ( grey & blue & white - neither of them well defined) that makes it a challenge. Personally, not my favorite pick.

Next time, i am thinking of styling it with a simple black / white top & black tights. Since the skirt has too much going on, keeping the top simple and unicolor (am hoping) would help.

How would you style it ?

Gloomy Gray

Trousers: Banana Republic, Shirt: Van Heusen, Cardi: T J Maxx, Black pumps with small heels: BCBGeneration

After a couple of back to back night outs with work, I was extremely gloomy and groggy this morning. That ended up reflecting my choice of color. Very gray. If I had some more time this morning, probably would have paired a colored accessory to perk this up a bit. I tried to style it in two different ways with the belt - which one do you like?

I've noticed that every time I am unsure of what to wear, I always gravitate towards navy or blue. Do you have such a color?

Animal images

Shirt: Forever21, Dress: NY & Co, Shoes: H&M

Last year was big on animal prints. We saw horses, owls, cats, birds and even beetles on clothes. I picked up this shirt last year, but wasn't sure how to wear it. I decided to keep the rest of the outfit simple as the print can be overwhelming.
