How I Styled It?
I've been waiting some time to showcase these beauties; styling them proved to be a little difficult for me...at least at first! I finally found a pair of oxblood color pants from NY & Company, but them I really wasn't sure how to match them. I went to my fabric color wheel from Academichic.com and followed their Two-Thirds Rule:
The eye gravitates toward color combinations that make up
two-thirds of a triad -a triad is comprised of three hues equidistant from each
other on the color wheel. If you were to draw and equilateral triangle in the
middle of the color wheel, the points would touch a triad of colors such as
red-yellow-blue or orange-green-purple. Triads can be tricky to wear
simultaneously, but picking just two colors from a triad often results in a
terrific, eye-catching palette. I chose red and yellow, but like the Complementary color match (I discussed here), I went with the darker more subdued color complement (oxblood instead of red and the mustard instead of yellow) to create a more sophisticated pairing. The long sleeved t-shirt, I got while still living overseas, and the cropped wool coat is from Anne Klein (a few seasons ago). The scarf I bought at an accessory story in Italy called Carina, and the clutch is from the GAP. SN
