Black & Brown OOTD

I've seen a lot of posts about breaking the whole don't wear brown and black together "rule".  Figured I'd give it a try.  I think this looked much better in person than it does in the photos, but maybe not.  Definitely out of my comfort zone and I feel like I'm having an off week with the whole fashion thing, but I will not give up (yet).  Luckily, it was a comfy outfit.  I highly recommend corduroy leggings - soft and comfy!  Maybe this needs a thin belt at the waist or a longer cardi or something?  Or maybe I just need a stylist!

Sorry about the photos, I'm still headless and tripodless.  Perhaps I got prematurely excited about Dolica sending me a free replacement part.  Arrrrgh.
Pants - Blank via Piperlime; cardi - Victoria's Secret; print tank - Madewell; white tank - Loft; botties - G by Guess; spider necklace - Little King custom (wedding gift from the hubbers)

My next job to tackle is accessories.  I've never been big on necklaces, earrings, etc., but I see how they can really make an outfit.  Hoping to find some nice pieces to tie my wardrobe together.  Would love some recommendations - particularly for Etsy sellers.  I love supporting  independent artisans.

  1. LMAO b/c I'm so one of those people who don't feel comfy wearing brown and black together... It's either or for me. Your outfit looks good though as you broke it up with a print top.

    I swear we are so much alike as I hardly ever wear jewelry either... once in a while I'll wear earrings... but usually it's just my wedding rings.

    Hope you had a great weekend!!!

  2. I love black and brown together... but that's me. I like contrast. And I agree that your top ties the two together.

    I haven't ordered too much jewelry on Etsy, aside from my Carolyn Buss pieces. I usually like to throw mix and match pieces of jewelry together that I find on clearance and that I make myself— I can't get away with wearing too much because of the kids.

    Check out clearance jewelry at Cost Plus World Market... I just got a cute pair of sterling silver "ladder" earrings for $7.
