Today's Ensemble...Coral, blush, cream, ink, taupe

So of course I had to try out today's ensemble...It would have been rude not to Some of my favourite colours suggested by Angie in some combinations and I was immediately off to play in my closet. Please excuse my hair...it's in need of a wash and spruce up, so just tied back for neatness.

It was interesting going through my closet, because it highlighted a few minor problems...not all of my cream items are the same tone of cream for a start. My cream jeans are no longer cream either...washing has in time turned them almost white. I tried my coral full skirt on with some combos and decide I prefer it worn on it's own with a summer top...didn't like the blush jacket over it. I'm also not totally in love with my coral sandals so much any more. I prefer them only in a couple of types of outfit these days.

Outfit #1 of the two looks is my favourite. I'm including #2 just for fun though. I also tried other combos, but wasn't keen on them enough to post them. It was an interesting and informative session for me.

Both are great, why do you prefer #2 ?
Your hair looks good tied up too.
I can't see coral without thinking of you now

Thanks Isabelle. I prefer # 1 more than #2...I think it's the coral sandals I'm not liking so much with the culottes...not sure why, but if you like them maybe it's just in my head.

I prefer #1 too, although you look stunning in both. Really great colors, and your styling is spot-on!

Eliza

Love #1 on you. So summery, current and well proportioned. #2 is fun also. Did you try it with different footwear? Perhaps an ankle strap sandal or shoe would work, too. Culottes can be tricky for me to style.

Both renditions are terrific examples of Angie's ensemble. I like the coral candles with the culottes! I know sometimes it's tricky for me to style my coral sandals with outfits. I usually end up wearing shoes that are in the same color family as my pants, or white / black.

Wow! I knew today's ensemble was right up your alley and was hoping we'd see a wiw from you today!!!

I absolutely LOVE #1. Perfection!!! It's better than awesome...and looks so modern, crisp, effortless and perfectly styled. The colors come together so naturally, and you look BE-AU-TI-FUL!!!

#2 is a pretty cool outfit too. I think you're just tired of seeing the sandals (you've worn them quite a lot!) but I still like them a lot. You look real good in culottes and that top is stunning on you.

Love the hoop earrings!

I like both outfits and the coral bag is a fun accent. Your hair looks good pulled back.

Wow! That was the first thought that came to mind when I saw this. I also prefer #1 but the color of the top in #2 looks just beautiful on you.

Tanya

I love both looks on you, but #1 is absolutely stunning. Coral is your colro and this palette was made for you.

Thank you ladies!

Eliza, my nude cage sandals may have been another option for #2. I also have ankle strap sandals but there is some black and brown in those so not really a good choice I think.

Cross posted, Thanks Tanya!

Colette

You look great! I totally thought of you when I saw Angie's ensemble today, I'm so happy to see you jumped on it. And you look really good with your hair pulled back.

Aquamarine

Your colors for sure! The first outfit is my favorite.

How fun to shop from your closet and style these two great outfits!

I like #1 too! I could even picture Angie wearing it with a dressier shoe.

#2 is summer fun! The sandals are bookend the top nicely. I also would like to see it with the nude cage sandals for comparison.

Both looks should go into your rotation ASAP!

I can see why these two outfits were the winners of the bunch. Both are stunning. I still like the coral sandals too

So sporty fun and fresh.

Angela K

I really like both outfits--awesome that you could shop your closet and come up with these great combinations. I think that both are totally flattering and I like the sandals too!

And as for the hair--I think it looks great pulled back--very summery and cool!

Suz

You look amazing. I love both outfits actually and you can change the footwear in 2 if you're not as keen on the sandals. I knew this would be right up your alley!

Thanks Colette, Aquamarine, AJ, Linder, Liz, Angela and Suz!

I'm glad you all don't think the sandals are too bad, but I may try the nude cage ones sometime too. And I've thought of yet another possible combo for this ensemble. Might get a pic later if I have time

SO many comments on the blog post about how this ensemble is YOU. It's signature, Diane. You can create outfits for a month in this palette. You wear it with the best of them.

Nice hoop earrings.

RobinF

Love both of these! I do prefer #1, the jacket is awesome, but really they both look great. Such a nice example of today's post.

MsMary

So, so, so fab, fab, fab!! This combo was made for you!

Thanks so much Angie! I know...I've never had my name mentioned so many times on the blog! You're right, I could do many more combinations of this pallette...though another one I thought of doing with my Greek hols jersey dress wont work with the leather jacket(jacket is too long for it), so no extra photo today of that.

Thank you Robin!

Oh, cross posted Mary. Thank you!

Beth

Super fab! I particularly like the metallic shoes in #1 it adds another fun dimension to the color combination.

Well I'm the spanner who much prefers #2! It looks really fashion forward and European - especially with the clog/sandals! (which look like Swedish Hasbeens - no?) Or course they are both perfect renditions of the ensemble today - and you rock a cute ponytail too

Thanks Beth!

Hehe, thanks Lisa! Oh yes, I guess you're right about the Swedish clog look (mine are Clarks). I just need to adjust my eye

Amazing colors on you - and you nailed them in both outfits - love them both!

Another great but what I'm really looking for and love seeing you wear is the "collutots" probably spelled
