A True [Color] Story

Last Wednesday, nosotros began discussing color inwards wardrobe building, specifically edifice some a color story. I dear it when people laissez passer on existent examples of how a regulation is applied, in addition to then I'm going to create the same here. I am currently planning my transitional in addition to warm weather condition wardrobe, partially because I convey the wintertime blahs in addition to partially because I'm edifice on a budget. I convey a cool complexion, in addition to then I convey chosen white in addition to dark equally my neutrals, night grayness equally my dominant color (though grayness is truly a neutral), in addition to lite pinkish in addition to camel are splitting duties equally my complementary color.

My 2 principal sources of inspiration for this color even out are the Dior Autumn/Winter 2012 RTW collection (see the get-go motion painting below) and the basics that I convey already inwards my wardrobe. Many of the basic neutral pieces are from previous seasons; some I convey picked upwards over the wintertime past times shopping the sales. I am yet looking for to a greater extent than pinkish to add together color. The images below are representative of pieces inwards my actual wardrobe, to assistance you lot visualize the possibilities of the color even out (i.e. my pinkish platform sandals are from a subdivision store, rather than Prada, in addition to my leather tote is from Banana Republic, non this $430 version from Alexandra Satine).

Also, on an aside, this is a practiced fourth dimension to beak nearly reading the runway. You may intend that the wardrobe I am working on bears similarity exclusively inwards color, simply at that spot is to a greater extent than if you lot await carefully. Notice that the models are wearing fitted jackets, non different from the dark blazer I purchased concluding spring. Notice the heels amongst platforms. I couldn't honour an exact image, simply the platforms I purchased at the terminate of the flavor truly convey to a greater extent than of a heel in addition to a thicker strap (closer inwards appearance to the ones inwards the Dior show). Some of these similarities truly occurred subconsciously, perhaps a fleck of proof that fashion truly is "in the air."
