Pick a grounding and a common color
Yesterday, in my Ageless Style series, I wrote about how to mix prints and patterns, and that I rarely wear just one print or pattern in an outfit. Here I did it again mixing leopard and stripes in one outfit. While in yesterday’s OOTD I used blue as the grounding color that occurred in all prices of the outfit, this time I used black to ground the colors and taupe as the combining color. The taupe color of the sweater picks up the light colors of the leopard prints background.
Style your outerwear
For the commute to work I added my golden leather trench coat. It is a real statement piece. I like that the shade of the color is sort of muted and not right in the face gold like my golden shorts that I wear when I we go out dancing.
Do you wear metallic colors for day or night? Do you like to mix and match prints and patterns? Show me how you style your metallic pieces and/or mix your prints and pattern. Just link your examples up in addition to your OOTD or send me an email.I am curious.
Top of the World Style linkup-party
Many thanks to those of you who linked up last week. You are all so stylish! The Readers’ Fav OOTD goes to the link you clicked the most which was Alm’s OOTD from The Style Cheapskate with her geometric print colorful dress. I would wear this dress too, but with black tights underneath. My Fav OOTD at the last party was Irene’s floral print on black background dress. I wish I had this dress in my closet! Irene is the blogger behind The Daily Lace.
I am honored to introduce my stylish co-host of this week’s party to you. Jessica Jannenga is the blogger behind Elegantly Dressed and Stylish. She is an over 40 fashion blogger who dresses in what she likes, preferably a classic and romantic style. She believes FIT is the key to having a great looking outfit. She loves the style of other eras as well, the 20s flapper girls and dapper guys, the 50’s and 50s circle skirts and cat eye glasses certainly appeal to her. She writes about trends, how to dress 40+, interviews women over 40, and hosts a Fashion Party called Turning Heads Tuesdays all about style, beauty and showing “fashion can be fun”. She believes that fashion should show off one’s personality, as she doesn’t believe in many of the silly “rules” imposed on dressing over 40. Please stop by her blog to say Hi and follow her.
