What great ideas from all of you!
@Zibbets, I love that frilly dress and tweed combination. Come to think of it, I used to pair my tweed blazer with a plaid Ralph Lauren ruffle blouse (look for them on ebay!). The ruffles and pattern mixing contrasted with the structure of the blazer. I just never thought of doing it with ruffle skirts and dresses, which I have never owned.
@aurore, I´m loving the cullotes and aline skirts paired with blazers.
@cindysmith, I tried that pattern mixing today: blue, polka dot shirt with my brown tweed blazer. It looked great! The plaid looks fun too. I wonder how it would look with a frilly plaid skirt (if I can find one).
I also wore my brown tweed blazer yesterday with a dark red sweater dress and scored a winner. The dress is something I usually save for special occasions but the tweed blazer actually made it look more casual, and the red color made the brown "pop" out.
Come to think of it, I nearly always pair my tweed blazers with riding boots. It's kind of an automatic instinct. I am looking at some other possible footwear, like oxfords or mocassins, with a modern think sole or some variation of color. Have any of you tried varied footwear, even brightly colored footwear with your tweeds?
