I'm one of these people who doesn't like to mix black/grey with brown. Most of the time this isn't a problem, but lately I've been having a lot of foot/ankle pain and it turns out my 3 most comfortable winter shoes/boots are all brown - but most of my winter wardrobe is black/grey based.
So today I started with my amazingly comfortably brown Fatbaby cowboy boots, mini-flare jeans, and purple cardigan. But the only layering T I have with me is this light grey one. OK, I thought, it's now fine to mix grey and brown, plus the brown sort of bookends my hair. But then I wanted the brown boots to look more intentional so I put on a brown/wood dragon necklace and some dark brown/red carnelian drop earrings.
For outerwear, this very old cornflower blue fleece jacket and a purple silk scarf (recycled from a sari) with purple fingerless gloves.
In retrospect I put waaaay too much thought into this very simple everyday outfit, got too fussy, and ended up looking a bit fussy, with too many shades of blue and purple, an unnecessary necklace, and rather unkempt looking hair (it's at an awkward, below the shoulders, but not yet really long length). Ah well, it's not like the skeletons cared, and I was comfortable and appropriate for a day in the collections.
Do you go wrong when you overthink your outfits?
