Matchy Matchy

Two women. Two different colour palettes. Two very different personal styles.

First up is Lili, who is known in our office for always looking very stylishly put-together. I think she outdid herself with this outfit - the sweater is exactly the same shade of turquoise as in the pattern in her skirt, and her necklace, sweater and shoes not only match, but the colour plays off the blue beautifully.

As if it wasn't perfect enough already, the colour of her sweater is the same as that of the inside of the canoes in her tropical print skirt.

Then there's me. This was the first day that I had started to feel normal again after my cold, and subsequently made an effort to dress the part. Another example of colour coordination from head to toe, all tied together by an Asian robe.

The jacket looks very much like a vintage smoking jacket, so while I'm pretending to hold a cigarette between my fingers, it's obvious I don't know how to smoke. Perhaps I'm just flashing a sideways "Peace" sign.

Even my jewellery matches!
What I'm wearing: Asian robe - gift from the lovely Ariane red jeans - The Sentimentalist Converse - From Mars (with red and black laces from the Citizen Rosebud) bracelet - clothing swap rings - retail
The day I took these photos I had my hair coloured, so I felt kind of fresh and revitalized - you can see my new 'do in my next post!
