While visiting my BFF in Toronto I was telling her about my newest colour combo obsession, navy and black. She said that she was always told, as a kid, that if you wore the two together, you'd look like a bruise. I never heard that before, although I did hear other 'fashion rules' (ex. blue and green should never be seen...., etc.). And then she put on a green top with a navy blazer (and looked awesome).
So this sweater is just like this one, but navy, which I cut in half to make into a cardigan. I was so impressed with myself (wow, I used scissors) and excited to wear this one. I mean, I know it wasn't hard to do, but I took a sweater I hadn't worn in a couple years, and I've been wearing it quite a bit now - how's that for shopping your closet!?
So lastly, how was everyone's weekend? I know I didn't post, I was pretty sick all weekend long, just feeling crappy and laying low (which you might think would inspire a post, but I was just trying to stay away from the computer for once... which isn't easy since I'm obsessed!). I did, however, get a bunch of cleaning done around the house and a ton of laundry - it's like I have all the 'good' and 'favourite' items ready again! Yipee! I need to pick my Christmas outfit this week. I stay at my parent's house on Christmas eve so I have to plan and pack something for that day. The last two years it was a dress of some sort, with leggings... this year? I don't know, I can't predict the future, but I could see it involving leggings.
The sweater turned out great! I like navy and black together. Theres too many rules about what you "can" and "cant" wear together, makes life more complicated!
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out! I'm wearing stripes and a cardi in my post tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteLove your revamp of your jumper and also very relieved that your title is about colours - I thought you might have fallen over again. Phew.
ReplyDeletehahaha, you most certainly do not look like a bruise my dear! ;)

haha, I'd never heard of that saying either! I always mix blue with black ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It came out really good too! If I attempted it would probably have been a mess! LOL I'm still trying to figure out my Christmas wardrobe. I have Christmas eve and Christmas day...decisions, decisions!

ReplyDeleteI always swore by those lame "fashion rules" and then I started blogging, and realized how great it looks to BREAK them. You look really cute!
