facile

Skirt (worn like this)- H&M (Consigned); Top (worn like this), Shoes & Bracelet- Thrifted; Ring- Aldo; Earrings- The Bay; Clutch- Vintage with Consigned Bow
I'm a huge fan of colour blocking  pattern mixing but sometimes I'm in the mood for a more simple, refined look, one that's plus facile (easy).  For a busy day of meetings and office work I paired black, blue & white clothing with playful accessories and loved the end result.




Do you prefer complex or simplistic ensembles?

  2. I usually like simplistic but complex and a bit more intricate are a nice change every once in a while. Also, I really love your skirt - the pattern is super fun.

  4. Complex outfits are fun, but sometimes simple and easy is the way to go. You look great and your purse and shoes are fabulous!

  5. I tend to gravitate towards simple outfits, but I love admiring complex outfits on others. It's amazing what people can do by adding unique accessorizing and pairing prints, patterns and colours :)

  8. I tend to go for simple...I like a really good dress or skirt/top that are striking together and don't need much added pizzazz...for me it's in the details :) This outfit is really chic and great for work/evening. I like the sharp stripes!

  10. I think I prefer complex, but have realized from blogging that simple looks better on me.

    I love the stripes, and the blues are smashing on you.

  11. Love the colour of your shirt!
    I love the look of complex outfits, but find I dress very simple. More complex is my goal for 2012/13.
