A recent Girls Day Out included a matinee show at the Orpheum theater followed by dinner and drinks. A LBD was definitely in order, and I had been dying to wear this one with puff sleeves. An artsy dress perfect for an artsy occasion. Instead of accessories in basic black, red, or the leopard I truly love, I decided to go with something a little different for me…blue.
I’ve admired this color combo for a while, but never tried it myself. The shoes are showstoppers by themselves (I should really wear them more often), but I thought the necklace really pulled the entire look together to give me simple black and blue in the chicest way possible. It was waaaaaay more chilly than I preferred AND I was going to the theater (said in the most bourgeois voice possible) so a little faux fur was necessary. Gloves too. And I had the song “Fancy” playing in my head.

According to Q, black and blue may be slightly out of the box, but you can work it with the right pieces/accessories. A good basic black foundation will make the accessories pop and the color combo will definitely make a statement.
Cheers to stepping out of your style comfort zone!
It seems we had the same idea to be bold and step out in fur today! Loved your post.
Yes! Great minds! Thanks for stopping by.
