I tried compering and analysing MsMary and my outfit to figure out why I like hers but not mine and I think problem is in the length of my cardigan. It is too long, covering most of the top, so the outfit looks much darker and has different proportions.
Lesson for the next time - I need more structure, more colour and some lighter colour neutrals. This time I tried to be too practical, ignored my style preferences and packed only soft, casual items in dark neutrals. But only four more days before I return home, so it is not the end of the world.
