What I Wore: 7.24.11 // Color By Number

Monochrome looks are my default choice. After all, when getting dressed in the morning, half of the time I’m too tired to put any look together that contains multiple colors of the rainbow. But, it might come as a surprise that about half of my closet is comprised of color. Though I usually try to be a little more controlled when pairing colors, it’s easy to get more daring when they’re anchored with a basic black dress and tights.

When my friend Kristin sent me this nümph cardigan, I knew it was a perfect match for my silk Dries van Noten heels (which were a lucky score at Halo a few years back at a whopping 80% off). I don’t get to wear these as often as I’d like because it rains so much in Portland and rain + silk = disastrous.

    Funny, I just wrote a blog article about monochromatic sites and using surprise bits of color. Maybe it’s this Portland weather that brings out the monochrome in all of us– grey skies, grey skies, grey skies, with little pops of blue and light.

    Is it sad that the first thing that comes to mind when I see the cardigan is CMYK? Hahaha. Great outfit! I, like Sally was hoping those colorful pumps would show themselves sometime soon. They’re just so awesome!

    Sally: I love your passion for shoes and fashion, always makes me smile!

    Juliane Berry: You’re so sweet, thank you! If we lived closer, I’d be begging you to take my outfit photos. Adore your photography, as always.

    Some Dude: Totes stylish. Only the best for Rocky Bear.

    Kara Mae: Haha, I’m not sure what that means?! I’ve gotta give the type necklaces a day off sometimes…

    Liz: Thanks for the massive complement!

    Lola: Thanks! I never thought I’d be wearing acid green on my eyelids…leave it to the MAC counter to turn me to the dark side.

    Lauren: Totes CMYK! The pumps are like a crazy psychedelic trip in shoe form…and always fun to finish off an all-black ensemble with!

    Kristin: Thanks for always being so sweet and for the cardigan! xoxo
