Two WIWs from yesterday and today.

I thought the first one was very successful. I used a brown belt and brown boots because they felt more interesting than my black ones. Maybe because they add more variety?

Second one is less successful. I was in love with the scarf tying example that Inge posted in her street style inspiration point #2. So I got out one of my favorite scarves and tied it the same way. I don't think it looks as interesting. In fact, even though I tried to add a lot of interest with the leopard wedges and the tortoise shell bracelet, this feels a little dull to me. Any ideas? Brown and tan trousers were duds. This just feels a lot like something I would have liked and been happy with a few years ago, but not interesting enough for me now.

Final pics are a new jacket that I got from H&M from their MMMargiela collaboration. I adore it, but boy is it hard to photograph. It has really interesting seaming throughout. I love that it is navy pinstripe too. It really feels like my avant-garde jacket found me. First attempt at styling really showed why a white shirt would be best, but still decent with the gray one. I chickened out a bit, though. The stitching on the shoulders and sleeve is intended to be left as a witty little bespoken reference, but as a person who rabidly hates vents left tacked closed on others, I had to take them out. Too witty for me.
