Hello all!
There is nothing I love more than a good color theme! (Or a theme in general!) But that was the styling logic behind today's look!
To be fair, it was planned around the varsity jacket. I wanted to pair it with my white jeans. From there it only seemed to make sense to pair it with a red turtleneck, The tights were a fun touch that completed the look! But I opted to stay within these two colors for a crisp, clean, bold look.

One area where I did experiment a bit with a trend I have been seeing lately, is combining gold and silver accessories. I have seen it mostly with jewelry and I am honestly not sure how I feel about it. I think this is where my OCD kicks in. I really feel it should be one or the other.
Unfortunately, I had styled this look completely -jewelry, belt, and shoes- when I went to look for a bag to go with it. My red Karl Lagerfeld bag was my first thought, but when I tried it, it felt like overkill with red already in heavy use. I wanted something small and simple. I do have a gold clutch, but that felt too fancy for this look. And I thought about a yellow, Steve Madden book bag. Its small and chic and would have accompanied the sport vibe. But I really did not want to bring in another color to this look.
(Okay, technically silver is also a color, BUT you guys get it right? It is a much softer color than yellow would be).
That is when the silver snakeskin beauty caught my eye. And the rest is history really, as you can see!

I feel like the gold and silver mixing was in a small amount and separated enough that you cannot really tell so much that I even mixed them. So, my OCD was kept at bay, and I tried something new! Maybe next time I will be a bit more eager to mix them more closely! Time will tell!
How do you guys feel about mixing gold and silver accessories? I honestly cannot exactly tell you what my hesitation is when it comes to it. I have seen others do it and it looks good! I think maybe there is just a science to it that I have not figured out how to do correctly. I will keep working on it though!
In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend! And I will see you all on Monday!
Stay safe!
