Dressed for: Changing Everything

Already Pretty outfit featuring teal blazer, turquoise tank, red sash, purple pencil skirt, red suede pumps, leopard print bag

Teal blazer, thrifted - similar
Tank, Walgreens – similar (pool)
Skirt, Boden (shortened) – similar items
Belt, a sash from another dress – similar look
Necklace, thrifted – similar
Earrings, art fair - similar
Pumps, Tsubo Amset courtesy Tsubo (no longer available) – similar
Bag, Hype via LastCall

I stole this color combination from a Target ad. I can’t for the life of me find a version of it online, but it’s part of their Color Changes Everything campaign. I love color, and I love wearing color WITH color, but I find that I get stuck in color pairing ruts. The Target campaign shows outfits and decor ideas that are just loaded with fun and inspiring color combos. I plan to nick a few more from them in the coming months.

As a quick sidenote: This skirt photographs dark, but it’s a lovely vibrant purple. You can see it a bit better in these detail shots!

Teal and red is one of my favorite combinations, and adding purple to the mix makes a good thing better. I love your look today!

Love that combo. My favourite colour combo right now is lemon yellow skinny jeans paired with a watermelon coloured tee and an ivory bomber jacket.

Before I started reading your blog my closet was strictly black.

Most of my apartment is decorated with variations of those three colors!

I have a skirt that is the exact shade of yours, it just hadn’t occurred to me to pair it with red! Thank you for the inspiration!

Ooooh, I always love red and turquoise together. But with purple added? Unexpectedly fabulous!
