What I Wore: Tied Together

Leggings, ???; black dress, Joe Fresh; pink tank top, H&M; shoes, Fly London; scarf, local market; watch, Ushuaïa

My mum got me this tank top recently, and I've been pondering how to wear it for a while. I could wear it with my orange sweater and Merrells, but that's a bit athletic for my taste. I could go for all out clashy goodness with red clothing. Then I found this scarf, which is perfect as a bridge from the pink to red.

Secondly, a note on the photo: I did not turn my head just as this was taken. It was just really, really windy as I sat on a rock on the deserted beach in my fairly thin outfit. I would have taken more photos, but after the first ten I had to put my coat back on, sling my camera around my neck and stuffed my hands in my pockets.

Do you use accessories to tie together colours or looks?

Love,
Rosie

  4. I usually wear an accessory if it adds something to the outfit... I'm not too good at using them to 'tie' anything together. Looks windy!

  8. Gosh I'm loving all this color! Recently I saw a blog post where the author was wearing a whole outfit of pink, red and orange, and it looked GREAT. It makes me want to add some hot color back to my wardrobe which has moved to nothing but black, brown, grey and tan in recent years. So you know, I love scarves and often wear them to make a simple look more exciting.
