September Sunday Showcase and Link UP: Unusual Color Combos

September 5, 2021 /

This month, I am introducing you to Grace from Graceful Rags (if you do not already know her) who is collaborating for this link up with me as Ada (Elegance and Mommyhood) is taking some time to spend with family this month.

 

Grace is a fun college student who has been blogging since 2016! Grace has a great fashion style, a thrifty approach to clothes and is a fountain of inspiration. Here is a post where I copied one of her looks: Inspired by Grace. Today we are sharing unusual color combinations and I knew I wanted to wear my new to me Baik Baik Honululu pants I found on ebay. I wore my neighbor’s in this post and had to find a pair for myself!

I thought about pairing red with cobalt blue but then settled with red and brown. I do not wear much brown and when I do, I probably most often pair it with white or denim so this was something different for me.

I’ve enjoyed this little leopard tee from Target: I had my son buy it for me last Christmas as a stocking stuffer as it was only $3. Might as well make sure they get me something I will use! The boys get each other and us parents a small gift for our stocking. Those are usually my favorite gifts.

I love these pants! They are so comfortable and they make a statement! I have had a hard time with wide legged bottoms but this year I have found a few styles that I really like and which I feel are flattering. These flowy pants are fun with the ruffles and the pockets come in handy.

I wore these at the Georgia aquarium with a black graphic tee and the front pockets were perfect for my phone. For this outfit, I added a wide belt to add a little more brown and to make the proportions work with the tee. I actually ended up folding the tee in because tucking it in didn’t look right. One thing I forgot was to add a bracelet: I have a brown leather bracelet that would have worked very well. I did add some Magnolia Market leather earrings.

This summer has been an experiment in trying to to shop for clothes for July and August and while I did buy 2 pairs of pants (including these), the purchases were not impulse buys but items I had been wanting to find at a reasonable price. Finding these for $29.99 on ebay in my size was very exciting! The limit on impulse buying has helped me take a 2nd look at my closet and made me appreciate all the treasures I have in there. Lots of variety that I need to take advantage of! Do you enjoy shopping your closet? How well do you succeed at no shop months?

Another look at Grace’s look from the above collage: I love the mustard crops with this purple multicolored tank. I am going to have to see what I can do with a similar color combo by shopping my closet.

Here a second outfit Grace is sharing on her blog post today: I love orange and teal together and have worn that combination before but I don’t think I have added the yellow to it.

My favorite post this past Sunday Showcase was Nancy’s Grey Sporty Skirt post (Nancy’s Fashion Style). I love Nancy’s collection of skirts and dresses and how she easily puts together the perfect shoes, sneakers, boots with her outfits. I really like this sporty look as I have been trying to wear my white sneakers more with skirts and dresses too. Check out her post to see the cool military jacket she paired with this outfit!
