When I saw this AMAZING gold, polyester/silk dress I knew I had to create a "date with nature" look.
While sorting through the oodles and oodles of accessories and add-ons I was honestly having a hard time deciding what to pair with this amazing dress. Do I choose gold because the dress is gold? Do I choose silver because of the threading? So many choices, what was a girl to do??? Well this girl decided to go with 2 color schemes of course!
The left side accessories keep the dress as the main focus by using silver accessories with a subtle touch of green, to subconsciously emphasize the nature feel. It would also likely be the side to wear to an event where you didn't want to be the "stand out" but also didn't want to be forgotten.
The right side was my "creative" side coming out. I really really really wanted to add colors but was having trouble picking a color until I remembered back to 7th grade art class and learning the importance of opposite colors on the color wheel. And what's opposite of yellow (close enough to gold)??? PURPLE! I heart purple! So the right side played up the nature feel with leaves and natural materials (agates, stones, and leather) while incorporating more color and playfulness.
There are sooo many pieces in this collection that I would welcome into my wardrobe in a second. But my #1 pick from this collection (aside from the obvious dress) would be the green and gold ring because I have "thicker" fingers (they're not huge, they're just not skinny minny fingers) and I can pull off large rings quite well if I do say so myself. ;)
AND I have decided to keep the "under $50 finds" challenge going. I have decided that in any of these collections you will never see an item over $50 that doesn't have a similar item for under $50 for comparison. Enjoy!
