Oh man, did I have fun doing my virtual shopping for this week's What To Wear Wednesday! It's so much fun to pull together outfits for this regular feature. One thing to consider when you are choosing your outfits is to think of color harmony. That means that all the colors coordinate well and don't fight with each other. You don't want to put a cool toned top with a warm toned bottom. That doesn't mean you can't have a pop of color somewhere--I love it when you have a very coordinated outfit with a colored shoe that really makes the outfit sing. Think in terms of complementary colors, though. If you've ever seen a color wheel, you'll see that complementary colors are the ones that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Triad colors are the ones that are evenly spaced from each other. An example of 3 triad colors are green, purple and orange. I wouldn't use all three in an outfit, but two of the three would be great. Don't forget your accessories--chunky bracelets, coordinating scarves, headbands, necklaces, earrings, handbags. These are all the little things that say you took care when putting your outfit together--the frosting on the cake, as it were. Also, think about layering--you can get more looks out of an outfit if you layer it and then either add/remove the layers to change the outfit without completely changing your clothes again.
These outfits all came from Buckle.com but if you'd like to go to an actual Buckle store, there is one at Clackamas Town Center. It's one of my favorite stores/websites because there is such a great variety of clothing to mix and match.
Enjoy!
Wow! You have awesome taste! Will you dress me too? :)

Great options, now just to pick which ones I want to actually buy.
Thanks for the inspiration!
