This outfit is based upon a very cool and subtle color palette- perhaps a reflection of the overcast, dull weather . I created quite a mash-up of textures, colors and print. The key piece in the outfit is the stunning emerald colored mohair-style jumper. The pictures don't do it justice- it is very bold and the colors are rich (dark forest green into a bright emerald, almost turquoise shade). I paired this monochrome floral 3/4 length dress with the jumper thrown over the top, belted around the waist to create definition and break up the feel of solidarity that the outfit gives off. As per usual, to smarten up the look- a white collared shirt underneath, with a statement necklace.
The necklace is by +H&M and I had been lusting over it for a while, it definitely gives any outfit that elegant and striking edge with its iridescent tones, giant facets and spikes adding a punchy feel. I wanted to go for a demure look but approached from an unusual angle. I dressed the skirt, necklace, jumper and collar look down by simply adding a denim jacket (always does the trick) and some wedged trainers. I have to state my appreciation for these beauteous wedges by Zara. I wouldn't usually go for such a light color shoe in winter but they feature strips of black suede as well as beige and cream leather, finished off with dazzling gold panels- what more could one want from a casual shoe?
