blog swap: beauty and bows





Blouse: TJMAXX ($14); Skirt: Thrifted ($1.99); Brown Tights and Booties: Payless ($19.99); Clutch: TJMAXX ($25); Gold Necklace: Thrifted ($1.50); Bracelet: Thrifted ($1.50); Vintage Belt: Thrifted ($3.99)

Hello Sophisticated In Style readers! I'm Star from Beauty and Bows and today Lauren and I have teamed up to show you how to rock brights during the dreary Winter months! Since I have to dress business casual for work, I decided to mix a bright pencil skirt in cobalt blue with a sunny orange top! It's easy to grab for black and greys during the Winter, but why not keep things fun with more saturated colours. Blue and orange sit across from each other on the colour wheel so I know they would compliment, that can be a great place to start when trying to pair brights. I kept the rest of my outfit neutral with brown tights, grey booties, a cognac clutch, and gold accessories. 

Be sure to see how Lauren styled her Winter brights outfit over at Beauty and Bows today!
