Plum Cords: Olive Vest

Friday, December 4, 2015








































Finishing off my week of taking my pair of plum-colored cords and styling them five different ways! Scroll back through to see the posts from earlier this week, and look for a wrap-up post on Monday.

Today's look is the epitome of fall fashion; layering a vest on top of a slouchy cowl neck, soft & cozy pants, and booties to finish it off. With the coloring of today's outfit, I took a lesson from my Color Theory class. Purple and yellow are complementary colors, meaning they are opposite each other on the color wheel. By pairing the muted versions of plum & olive together, you get a very appealing color palette. (This is the same reason why versions of blue & orange look so good together, but only if you're a Denver Broncos fan! Not those Florida Gators...) The trick to make a complementary color palette work is to use muted or distorted versions of the colors, and mix them with neutrals, like my grey top and tan booties.
