My sister wanted to build an outfit around a J.Crew Factory skirt that I purchased for her for Christmas after she read this post. My sister lives in Tennessee and I live in Virginia so I couldn't just pop over to check-out her closet and help her choose her pieces. So here's where I relied on what I know of "outfit formulas" or pieces that always seem to fit together.
My sister's skirt is grey which makes for a lovely, neutral base for the outfit. Next I asked her if she had any patterned shirts, from which we chose the polka dot blouse. After that it was time to add a completer piece...the mustard cardigan is perfect! And finally I asked her if she owned grey or black tights and boots. I decided to go with black tights and boots to create a longer leg line.
I think that the outfit turned-out perfectly (it doesn't hurt that she's pretty darn cute, herself)!
What is your go-to outfit formula when you are in a bind?
What She's Wearing:
Her outfit looks great! I bet she was happy for your help. Enjoy your snow days! We had one yesterday and then a delay start this morning. The weather has been crazy this month!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! I think we've already gone over our allotted snow days. What part of the country are you in?
