Earth and Fire

"Make it simple, but significant."

- Don Dapper

Have you ever paired colours together in an outfit that you thought wouldn't go, but was shocked to find they work really well together? I have, plenty of times, and they have turned out to be some of my favourite outfits; just like this one - Earth and Fire.

I featured this coat on the blog a couple of times this Winter and wanted to feature it again, but this time in a totally different way to previously. So I thought I put together an unusual colour combination, one that I hadn't done before, nor seen on anyone else. So I decided to pair it with olive green... or as I usually refer to it, khaki green.

I'd long been wanting to feature this wrap mini dress from Pretty Little Thing, but wasn't sure what to pair it with. It's not the most vibrant and bold of colours, so I decided to pair it with a colour quite the opposite, red. Still pretty cold outside the warmth of the faux fur coat kept the cold out. I teamed the outfit with a red felt beret, that I found on eBay and oversized sunglasses, to shield me from the Winter sun.

I decided to keep to the two colours, donning olive heels, which I bought from Primark a few years ago (shoes I will never get rid of) and a matching cross-body bag from Misspap. I finished off the look with a bright smile; bold red lipstick.
