This is related to the thread I started yesterday:

I was all dressed to go out (photo exhibition, dinner) in outfit #13 (see pic 3 if you don't want to visit the other thread), when Laura suggested cool snake skin rather than warm tones of the leopard booties. So I swapped the booties for cool snake skin strappy heels (which was also more appropriate to the hot & muggy weather). Then to pick up the blue tones in the shoes, I swapped the cream bag for the cobalt. I added a silver necklace since the hardware on the purse is silver. Added the moto jacket, which was needed later in the evening as temps cooled down.
What do you think? I would NEVER have considered cobalt with this dress, if it wasn't for Laura's suggestions. I am still on the fence about it.
This dress is extreme in its waist surrendering. There is room in my wardrobe for that. It may not be the most flattering dress but it's sooo easy to wear, so comfy.
Personally, I think I prefer it with black boots, shown here (and the short length would work equally well with my tall flat boots):

... but the dress is lightweight enough it worked just fine on an 80 degree day, so if the strappy sandals work, that gives me even more seasonal versatility. I also tried it on with metallic wedges, which looked just fine too, though maybe a little snore.
As for the leopard booties, I didn't think it looked awful. Maybe because the boots were far enough away from the dress? But Laura may be on to something... and maybe I have just a really bad eye for color tone! I'd not considered this dress was a cool tone!
Do you deliberately mix tones in your outfits? Curious!
