When: Last week when I was feeling extra colorful. Orange is such an underrated color you know.
When I bought this J. Crew Surf Stripe top, the second time I visited it in the store, I was intent on pairing it with a deep, orange, flowy maxi skirt that still has yet to be worn. What I discovered though was that the teal color matched my Hudson Supernova jeans perfectly and the earrings I handmade from a broken jade leaf necklace, found at an antique store. After matching the jeans and top together it seemed to still be missing a key piece. The orange bubble necklace I had picked up for $5 with my friend a couple weekends ago made the puzzle complete.
Now you could say the coral shoes were overkill, however if you're going to go as far as I have already, why not? Nude shoes, which would have worked, tend to make your feet disappear which looks odd. I could have worn a black pair as well, but it would have looked a little to dark without toting around the handbag all day as a complimentary color point. All in all if you're going for a color statement stay within two main colors with a neutral base, such as the cream on the top here. And one last item, if you love what you have created, own it and be proud of your color creation!
