#1 is what I wore on weekend. I put on my purple flats as they don't see light of the day very often so I thought they wound make a nice contrast with orange stripes in the blouse. #2 is what I wore to work today. I felt much more put together and like me in #2. However, looking at the pictures I am realizing the outfit seems to be missing something. There is no bookending. My problem is that I have the darkest black hair but I dont like black in clothing. I especially dont wear black around my face as it looks too harsh and emphasizes all zits, blemishes, bumps and scars on my face. i can perhaps try wearing my black sandals with this outfit to bookend. but I dont like looking at my feet and seeing black. So tell me YLF'ers how important it is to bookend?

Also, in pic #3, I have made a french braid. I usually do this in summer to keep my hair away from my face. In India/kashmir , a lot of women braid their hair but here I haven't seen anyone. Is this considered too girlish? old? not fashionable?
