Mixing something classically feminine with a more rugged piece is a fashion tale as old as time. (Maybe not quite, but you get the point.) Once you get the hang of it, matching up girly + tough can inject some interest into your outfits, and stretch your closet by allowing you to create new pairings.
For example, let’s take a metallic gray tweed jacket with bracelet sleeves and black pipingâ sounds quite country club/workweek chic. But it gets a bit of an edge when worn over faded black skinnies with a ripped knee + a super slinky camisole. After adding a pair of basic black suede pumps and a topknot, I had myself an outfit that could go the distance.
GREAT look! I will have to check out Madewell jeans. I discovered that if jeans that too much cotton like %99 do NOT hold their shape no matter how expensive they are. Got to lycra or spandex or elastin at about at least %10 to keep the shape and these obviously do!
Great combo! I totally am a huge fan of pairing opposites – definitely makes for a less predictable and interesting outfit with little effort! You look great as always. Can’t wait to see your new do!
I love that jacket- I have a tweed dress, but it’s really old and pastel. I would love a darker tweed piece like this jacket! Thanks for suggesting places to buy!
So cute! Love this outfit! Love the detailing on the top especially.
