Adjust this outfit, it's too bland
Permalink Closed

Okay, this outfit is too drab and needs a splash of something, but what? I'm at a loss with Olive...


Thin Gray cowl neck sweater, not quite tunic length, but longish.


Olive trousers with slim legs


black stacked heel round toes with nude fishnets under.


It needs some color, but I can't wear a scarf, necklace or long earring due to the cowl, and a bracelet wouldn't really show well. Sure a colorful purse would help, but my officemates won't see that when I'm sitting at my desk. I don't have a colorful belt to throw over top, but might have to pick one up.


What am I not thinking of?


TIA!

The easiest thing that I can see is to change the shoes. Not knowing the exact colors of the gray and olive, I would think that purple would look great. Or even teal. I would play around with color with your shoes since the rest of the outfit is pretty neutral (not bland!!).

i might be crazy, but I think red might be really cute. Maybe red platform pumps or peep toes?

a bright headband, colored shoes, and maybe small delicate-ish dangly earrings and a cool cuff bracelet- you could roll your sleeves up a little to show it off.  I would think deep teal, plum, or red would all be cute.


eta:


royalty headband


(or a plain red headband)


coast-to-coast peep-toes


(but not w/blue headband)


harriet peep-toes


macoun mary janes


art bin peep-toes


caramel pumps


(no idea if this is office appropriate- but picked these out really fast)


ophidian bangle


feathered cuff


cameo drops


phoenix tears earrings


succulent earrings


three-of-a-kind drops


*sorry these are all from anthro- i'm at work and tried to come up w/things really fast*

what about a bright belt? or even a neutral one? adding texture and details is a good alternative to color...
