Suit Up! Sorta

The thing with styling is that its not necessarily about buying new outfit after new outfit. I mean if you have to start from scratch; then sure. I would prefer to use items I already own and manipulate them in ways to create entirely different presentations.

Buying key staple pieces that can be used in many looks is really important. This was my mid week look. I would say the pants I'm wearing are one of those staple pieces I'm talking about. I dressed them up in this picture but previously I have also dressed them down when wearing boat shoes. I specifically made this tie to go with this outfit. I already had the heels and the pants but my look needed something to connect those colors and bring the eye from my shoes to my torso. I was really happy to find these coral and nude fabrics. They are not only matching colors but I also love the different textures with the lace and woven dots on the surface.

The colors that are popping in this look are the washed out pink in the blazer, also the coral in the tie knot and pants. The background colors that balance those colors are the neutrals. I love my neutrals. I used nude and grey. Nude heels and tie body. Grey tunic, grey nail polish, and a grey skinny belt.

This look may have masculine origins but the ruffles, pearls, heels, and color palette keep this look very feminine.
