I said I would play around with the layering potential of this cropped sweatshirt, and I am a woman of my word. Do we like take #2 better than my first attempt?

I definitely think that the sweatshirt print “pops” more when paired with dark colours (or prints) than lighter ones. I initially tried grey jeans with this outfit, and it was a fat, big “nope”.

I still do want to try it with a chambray shirt. And jeans. Not together, though. The Canadian tuxedo is ridiculous not my thing, and I don’t care what the fashion industry says. La la la la la, I can’t hear you!

I’ve run out of post titles. And things to write, in general. Luckily, this was a good outfit, so the photos should (hopefully) carry the day. Can you handle an extra dose of beige?

I like this blouse a lot. I feel like I’ve been wearing it a lot this month. It was more like thrice, but still.

With a statement piece like this, remixing happens within rather narrow parameters. Switch up bottoms, shoes, necklace, and bag. Done.
