This is what I have learned:
1. You don't really need to match
2. A scarf makes any outfit look good
3. A cardi also makes any outfit look good
I have fully embraced #2 and #3. I have tried #1 a few times when I wore my stripe shirt with my leopard scarf.
I have 148 pins on my Outfit Inspiration board. I have tried less than 10 of them.
I recently pinned this outfit and felt that I could create this outfit pretty easily.
It turned out to be much easier than I thought. I got the pants and shirt at Meijer's (I never ever look at clothes there, but why not? They are pretty cheap.) I got the shoes at Younkers, and my accessories at Charlotte Russe.
This is what I came up with
The back of the shirt is all lace-like so I wear a tank the same color as the shirt.
I have a pair of pink pants that I will post about soon.
