A Muted Color Story

Cape action, makes me feel like super hero

Okay, so a sweater dress and tights create a bit of static and for some reason I can't seem to find any slips in my intimates drawer, but I did find these silky bloomers which served me quite well in avoiding potential static/bunching.  Let's hear it for improvising!

Day 2 of my dress journey for March and I'm busting out a sweater dress layered with a vest.  Here is an interesting color story.  You may recall that I love pairing bright colors as seen here and here and here.  Mixing more muted tones can be just as striking.  It's all about having the right shades that work together and still pop.  You don't want to look like a big grey Drabby McDrabberson.  I love mixing grey and lavender, I think they can look so elegant together.  I also like how the vest makes this bronze/pearl necklace look a little pink, while these tights add some texture.
