PB & J

Itala Testino camel colored 3/4 length alpaca coat (similar here), Roman sleeveless sweater (similar here), Tara Jarmon Camel Wool Pencil Skirt, Red Valentino boots (similar here), Gucci Dionysus Red Arabesque Shoulder Bag

As you probably know, my go-to color is black, but every once in a while, I venture towards warmer, earthy tones, like the good camel featured here. I fell in love with this coat and this skirt when I saw them at Take 5 Boutique, but I didn’t want to use a cliché styling trick by pairing them with black or brown accessories. I chose instead to mix the classic, conservative color and silhouettes with bold pops of red, which rather than distracting from the clothes, in my opinion elevates the overall look. The result is an unexpectedly delicious blend of flavors and colors – kind of like a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich.
