A Color Blocking Experiment

Today I was feeling bright and cheery so I decided to wear some bright colors taken from a scarf that I bought but have never worn. The colors do not look "right" in the pictures so I think the outfit really looks better in person.

First, the scarf. I bought it on eBay. It is a sheer scarf with very intense fiery colors. It still had a tag on it but it was all in Oriental characters which I cannot decipher. We were fighting the wind to try and get some decent pictures and finally just gave up. It is a lovely warm day here, but quite windy.

Blouse: Chicos's
Jeans: NYDJ

The blouse is really more of a bright coral than it appears here. There is some of that color in the scarf although it doesn't really look like it here. Sometimes it is so difficult to capture true colors. I am sure there is a technical reason for it, but it is frustrating to not be able to show accurately.

Nail polish: A England Order of the Garter

I do love bright colors of nail polish but the disadvantage of wearing them is that they often do not match what I am wearing. Although in this case, blue is a complementary color to the orange/coral of the blouse.

For those of you who love nail polish, I would suggest trying A England polishes. They are a small indie brand sold in England but also available from a couple of sources here in the US. I got mine from llarowe, a company owned by Leah Ann Larowe. I received excellent service from her company and have placed two orders so far. She also sells some other hard to find indie/foreign polishes that are amazing.

I hope you had a bright and cheery Thursday!
