I wore these two outfits yesterday - first one was a casual version with a tshirt and Birkenstocks, and for the second version, I changed tops, jewellery and shoes. Here's where bookending makes a huge difference in the completeness of the look: Now I wish I had a white or silver pair of Birks, and I just may spring for a pair soon. I wanted a flat, hippie-ish shoe to work with the serape/wrap and distressed jeans look, and as DD was in a hurry to get going, these were what I wore. An impromptu and early birthday dinner and drinks invite from a friend left me with little time to change, so I popped on a new top in a dressier fabric and cut, changed my jewellery and added high heels. The grey heels obviously bookend with my light hair and light top - whereas the black Birks kind of stick out like a sore thumb, don't they? Interesting lesson. Btw - I'm loving this scarfy wrappy ponchoish thing. I threatened DD with going full on boho hippie this summer, upon which I received the side-eye that only a 19 year old can deliver. I also threatened to pierce another hole in my ear, but she drew the line at that. Lol.

all jewellery - BR - surprisingly ! (never realized that til now)
