the random outfit

Bonjour,

I decided to do something new, a "random outfit" blog piece. I have found all different garments and put them together. This is one of my favorite outfits - the only problem is that I don't own any of these clothes...too bad - a girl can dream; can't she?! So this is what my dreaming looks like. Hope you like it.

Credits: Viviane Westwood (blazer and skirt), Isabel Marant (wedge sneakers), Topshop (blouse), Justin Giunta (necklace)

Why I think it works / why I chose to put this together: the blazer is a classic, but Vivianne Westwood puts a twist on your classic blazer to make it more interesting. The color is also great because it isn't as formal as some black blazers can be, but it isn't a sweatshirt either. The navy works with everything. If you look closely, the top has beads on it, which adds texture to the outfit. I think the stripes vs. polka dots in the skirt and top make the outfit more funky and less expected. Having two prints can actually make an outfit a lot more interesting, this doesn't over-do it. I like how the top and the skirt are in similar colors, which creates a transition between the two patterns.  Your eye connects them.

Now, the necklace (drumroll....) This necklace is amazing. It adds necessary color to the outfit, and the three primary colors go great with the basics. It really pops and fits in well with the neckline of the blazer. The sneakers make the outfit more casual - they dress the outfit down. You can wear this outfit to school (you could do that before too - if you're me:), the sneakers add lots of funkiness to the outfit, but the wedge element makes it more sophisticated.

Please let me know what you think, or if you want, you could give me a garment (any piece) and take a picture, and then post it - then I could put it into an outfit.

xoxo,
Chantal
