Just wanted to give a shoutout to Angie and her fabulous outfit posts...The formulas she provide will never lead you astray!
Take this morning, for example. I was having an indecisive day while getting dressed and couldn't figure out what to wear...Until I remembered her post on black and ink blue. Because of my blindness I was wary of venturing into this territory, since I figured it required a deeper understanding of colour than I have, but I decided to give it a whirl following Angie's guidelines (texture, repeating one of the colours somewhere, adding white or cream).
Results: dark blue jeans, white button-down shirt, black tailored jacket, double-strand of black shimmery beeds. Wore heeled black ankle boots that are nearly hidden by the long flaring jeans, and carried my black patent mock croc bag.
I've been at work two hours and already received three compliments. Thanks Angie!

One question I have, though... Is it advisable to introduce a bright into a black/ink-blue outfit? I.e. could I have worn a fuchsia top instead of the white and just added pearls?
