Sweater, Forever 21. Dress, Sele. Tights, Chinese Laundry. Sandals, Nine West. Bracelet, Urban Outfitters. Belt, swap. (And wet hair - sigh.)Whenever I wear black and purple together, I feel like I’m dressed as a giant bruise. You can’t see it, but my toenails are purple too! (From polish, not bruising.)
I just got this belt from a swap. The buckle has little bits of shell embedded in black enamel. It’s lovely!
My partner used to insist on wearing black and navy together and I told him he looked like a bruise. I think as long as the purple has some actual color to it, like your sweater, it looks fine.
ReplyDeleteLove the belt, love the whole outfit. I'm partial to that color purple. And I remember back in the day when you thought you hated purple! Maybe not this shade though; my memory's not THAT good.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most beautiful bruise I've seen all week, even though it doesn't seem very bruise-like to me. ;-) THIS is what I call a bruise: (it's just a dress, and a very nice one, but still very bruise-like):

When I see you in this outfit, I think to myself "a delicious glass of wine" before anything relating to bruises enters my mind. I'll bet the purple toenails are a perfect accent to this very pretty outfit. Love the sweater and wish I could see the belt buckle up a little closer.
ReplyDeleteAll colors aside, this ensemble is very flattering for your body shape, very modest on then top, but then, "Woah! Nice legs!"
ReplyDeleteAlex - you're right, I should have taken a detail shot of the belt! I can do that tonight and then update this post.
ReplyDeleteKD - ewwww, I don't like that dress' colors at all! It's like a bruise threw up.
I've been looking everywhere for a belt like that.. I keep seeing people where them, and they look fabulous!!
ReplyDeletejust thought id leave you a note to let you know that i used your entry on overdyeing denim to dye my jeans + a denim dress last night -- with perfect success! i now have my dark jeans back. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great belt. I love shell jewelry.
