Today's Everyday Fashion: Juxtapose






My favorite fashion trick is definitely juxtaposing two "opposite" pieces. Hard and soft, feminine and masculine - like leather and lace, or the edgy t-shirt and preppy jacket in today's look. Thanks to the lovely Marie Denee for snapping these photos while we were in San Francisco, and you can see the previous way I wore this graphic tank here. What are your favorite items to juxtapose?

  7. I really like this look, the mustard jeans paired with a navy blazer/jacket and a quirky tee beneath...only problem here in the UK, for me, is the horse/ cow related icons on the tee shirts!!!! :))

  13. 'Just from the comments of others, I didn't realize these jeans are your mustard jeans!!    My computer has shown the previous indoor shots of your mustard yellow jeans as a "true" mustard color;  yet~~(i.e., in these three outside shots in San Francisco!!)~~your jeans almost look like they're a rich, Kraft Caramel brown color!!    Either way............ (i.e., mustard yellow jeans OR Kraft Caramel brown jeans!!)............ your "Edgy-Preppy" look really  *r.o.c.k.s.*!!

    I'm so glad you wore your Windsor Store Graphic Tank, J. ............ instead of............ the Wildfox Couture Printed Sleeveless T-Shirt----(i.e., as in the middle of the second row, Above)!!    If I were a child (looking up at!!) the buffalo skull and feather print on the front of the Wildfox Couture Printed Sleeveless T-Shirt............ well, it would just be  *so scary*  for a child;  (and his/her many little playmates, too), you know, J.!
