My favorite color scheme is back in action, here to help me make the most of the last day of our January warm spell (which was yesterday. Sad face).
I started with a green crinkle blouse that I (of course!) removed the
shoulders from. I don't buy clothes with the express intention of making
them open-shouldered, but it's the easiest way to make a too-small
shirt look good on me. This was another one that I thought looked fine
when I first tried it, and only realized it fit terribly after it was
too late to return. Opening up the shoulder seam fixed every problem
with the blouse, making it fit better across the top and even making the sleeves longer when they had previously ended at an awkward spot right above my wrist.
The
lightweight fabric and the open shoulders were perfect for a warm day
(high of 65!), and I paired them with an
above-the-knee skirt, the better to let my legs finally breathe.
After
choosing the key pieces, I kept piling on the green, choosing olive
green ankle boots and a green necklace. As much as I wanted to let my
legs breathe, I felt that they were missing something—perhaps a boot
topper!
My old purple and olive leg warmers,
turned out to be just the ticket for tying together the two colors in
the outfit! I don't think I've worn these things since 2015, but I'm
always glad when I can find another novel use for them.
