OUTFIT: Ivory + Emerald

Click to Zoom

We all know that Black + White is trending this year for Spring, and of course Emerald is Pantone's 2013 Color of the Year. Emerald and Ivory are a naturally beautiful combination. Emerald is brought to life by the clean palette of ivory, and with just a splash of color, ivory is at its best.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to look at a vintage piece and think of how you would use it, and what you would pair it with. Where could you wear it? When could you wear it? What could you wear it with? Look out for outfit posts like this where you can see how I've matched up vintage clothes to create a cohesive look.

In this outfit, the simple and classic pencil skirt is accented by the big belt (modern) and sophistication of the beaded sweater. The sweater even has a lovely button-up keyhole back for further charm. The texture of the bag and the smoothness of the cream leather heels make for a lovely (and not overwhelming) overall visual appearance.

This outfit is perfect for work or a classy winter cocktail party.
