This is not a complete retread of Outlander, though it clearly has several things in common: it's a historical romance with a mix-up of modern day heroine and the Scottish independence movement of the 1700s. But it does not use the straightforward time travel trope of Diana Gabaldon's novels. It has a somewhat different SF/fantasy/supernatural thing going to connect the current day to the historical events. If Outlander rang your bells, I think you're likely to enjoy this one, too.
Day 6: Color, Pattern, Texture, Shine -- Thursday, 11/6/14
Since color is not an area I struggle with, I opted to focus on the other 3 aspects of this prompt and keep everything neutral, using the hue of the winter sea as my starting point. (Note: I would have frozen my ass off if I'd been visiting the setting of The Winter Sea in this outfit, but fortunately I stayed here in the relatively comfortable Snow City autumn.) [Boy, what a difference a few days make.]
Pattern: grey leopard print
Texture: suede snakeskin booties
Shine: necklace
Another thing to note here: man, grey is a hard color to match! I think all these shades of grey work nicely together but they certainly do not match.
Also, yep, I've broken down and ordered some more boots for the fall/winter season. I also topped this with my black moto jacket to wear if/when I got chilly in the office. (It seems that grey animal print + black moto jacket is a favorite combination of mine.)
It's surprising for me to realize that this outfit doesn't have any thrifted items in it -- that's unusual.
Grey leopard knit top (Kohls)
Grey knit skirt (Target)
Grey leggings (Kohls)
*Grey suede snakeskin booties by Seychelles (Zappos)
Sparkly black necklace (Kohls)
Verdict: Fun, fun, fun.
