new looks in november: mixing colours and patterns








the highlights of the new looks that came into my wardrobe in november were these. first, the surprise (to me) appearance of a new colour into the 222 colour palette -- lava. i really thought it was just going to be vulcano. this happened because i bought a cardi that didn't come in vulcano -- it didn't really come in lava either but in the lava-like grey melange. something about the cardi really appealed to me and so i got it even though it meant straying from the vulcano colour palette. of course then i needed some grey pieces to go with the cardi and before too long lava came into the picture. after then, well, i fell in love with the colour and helped myself to a few more lava pieces. shades of grey are really tricky colours for me, so this foray into lava clothing was unexpected. but it was a pleasant surprise. the other highlight of the november new looks is that i did something with styling that i haven't done for a few years. i wore an outfit of more than one colour with a pattern thrown it. i used to do this regularly several years back, then i went all monochrome. i don't know what made me resurrect this past practice now. i also don't know whether this is the start of something "new" (well, more like a return to something old) or just a one-off anomalous occurrence.

i am wearing rundholz dip 222.
