Just read a piece on how to give your closet-staple oxford a fresh take for spring, and this was one of the pics. I’m drawn to the line design that this look offers. Smart, crisp, fresh.
What’s tricky; however, is that there are simply too many style elements that my brain is trying to take in! While I’m a fan of mixing concepts to bring in something unexpected, in this case I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what I should be focusing on. You?
TO NOTE:
- There are 7 different hues in this outfit, to include understated fashion colors and a mix of neutrals. Tip: When having fun with color,especially the color block trend, stick to 3 colors, four at most.
- Stripes, leopard, metallic. L-O-V-E that her style personality is so versatile and fun! Tip: While you likely have several layers of your style personality, when creating your outfit, try to create an overall story line, feel or mood. Stripes are sporty, leopard is glam, metallic is luxe…Then we have a leather belt and chunky textured bracelets to consider?
At a glance, the net read of the “style” is sporty chic, but it almost gets lost in translation with too many colors, textures, patterns, and concepts. Once last tip: Consider modifying just one or two things to incorporate better flow. For instance, if you wanna rock mixed prints go for the stripes and spots, but keep everything else simple.
….Now that’s just my take. What’s yours?
