skittles

by Karen Blanchard
30 March 2011
Coat: Zara (thrift shop).  Tangerine clutch: Zara. Green jumper: Zara Mens. Harem jeans: H&M. Boots: All Saints. or get the suede version for Spring here. Ring: New Orleans street vendor. Shades: NY street vendor
Why wear black.  ok yes so it’s on my feet but these All Saints are so faded (love that). I’ll probably wear them soon with long stuff again like here.

I picked up this mens jumper from Zara’s mens department. They had a row of gorge, oversized classic v-necks in primary colours. So perfect with anything because they’re soooo basic.  They reminded me of skittles.  I got this kelly green one and a cobalt blue. 

You saw the top knot/clutch combo before in this post.

    Kelly green is one of my favorite colors! In fact I’m craving it in the form of the Halston Heritage dress seen at net-a-porter.com. Check it!

    Green and red always look sooo great together. Just did a post yesterday on my blog wearing the same colors.

    Cool outfit though. Colors bring the spring even though it’s still crappy out.

    The sunglasses was from a street vendor? Wowza. I love ’em! I liked how you gave this laid back outfit a little kick with the green sweatshirt and red clutch. Cute.

    love your wise use of color blocking trend,yes to bold colors but softened by the use of more neutral ones,definitely cool and stylish
