Blouse: Modcloth {similar} | Cardigan c/o Miss Chic | Pants: J. Crew Factory | Purse: Coach | Bracelet: JEWELIQ
Before I became a half style, half other things blogger, I was always about being matchy matchy with what I wore. As in, if I wear a bright colored pair of shoes, I’d need to make sure that the same color is in my top or my scarf, or somewhere. And you can ask my husband about it, but NEVER did I ever wear black and brown together, or gold and silver jewelry together. But now, all style rules are out the door and I feel like a free woman. Ha, OK, getting carried away here.
No, but really, this outfit I wore for Thanksgiving (it’s got orange and browns!) makes me happy because it’s fun to go back to my matchy matchy roots once in awhile. It makes me so giddy inside that the lime on the tip of the bow on the blouse matches the lime trim on the cardigan. The navy on the trim of the blouse goes with my cords. The silver threads on the cardigan go with my silver jewelry. And the rest of the outfit is shades of taupe, tan and brown.
P.S. Like this cardigan I’m wearing? Take $5 off with code SANDY5 on the cardigan I’m wearing or this one. Also, get free shipping on all Miss Chic orders $35+ with code SHIP35, if you want, you can get me this or this or this. 😉 Offers good through Sunday, December 2, 2012.
Sandy these colors are just fab together!! I love this combo!

I definitely have a mix it up style. If something matches too well, I’ll throw in one element that kind of clashes 🙂
This is so cute! One of my favorites from you 🙂

This matchy matchy outfit totally rocks! I love how subtle it matches, but it looks like the blouse and sweater could have come together as a set 🙂 I tend to try not to match too much, but I do get excited when small things match 🙂
Everything in this outfit goes together well, but it isn’t too matchy-matchy. I think it’s great!
With Luck.
I love the little matchy-matchy aspects of this outfit!! I am a matchy-matchy girl at heart too!! 🙂
What a cute outfit! I love your blouse and all the fun colors!

Cute look, Sandy! I’m not about super matchy-matchy, but I like things to “go” or coordinate. I’m not the kind that can pull of things that kind of clash.
um the shoes… from where?! love.
I love the Orange and Navy together. Such lovely color combo. I usually match at least two things in my outfit. Sometimes I match my eyeshadow color with my outfit.

ooooh, I don’t like matchy matchy. I like the mess up mix up look more but my problem is color. I will have 3-4 neutrals on at once. boring. help!
oh oops, forgot to intro my self: #37 at the hop and come by to see me more, k?
So super cute! And I love orange and blue together.
PS… I always come here wanting to go shopping with you.
ooh, i love that blouse! i need one like that. so cute!!
I love this outfit! I’m not super matchy-matchy, but it needs to coordinate. I never get too crazy with my patterns/colors. You look amazing!
I love that cardigan! so cute!
I used to be a lot more “matchy matchy” too before I started blogging. Now I’m a fashion rule breaker!! Haha just kidding kind of 🙂 I love this look, and the matchy matchy girl in me loves how the lime of your top and sweater match too!
super cute! These tops look like they were made to go together! Love all the little hints of color!

Sometimes a girl just needs to be matchy!

I still like to be at least a tiny bit matchy matchy – enough so the outfit seems cohesive and not just random things thrown together, but not overbearing in matchiness.
The cardi and top really do go well together. 🙂
Loving the orange blouse, such a cute colour for autumn
