Hello, my name is Grace, and in about ten years or so you'll be buying my premortem biographies where they'll be flying off the shelves like Harry Potter on a Summoning Charm spree. Just kidding.
I'll admit I cheated: one, this is not a magazine spread, it's a collage; and two, this is not a very good quality one. I just wanted to find some pictures with real VIBRANCY and PASSION and put them together- plus I only had a few minutes, dinner's ready. Credits (and kudos, to use Mr K's overused word) to Fotodecadent for the images. ;) TTYL folks!
All Inspiration Corner images as credited, from Lookbook.nu; blazer used is the James blazer by Elizabeth & James; all accessories by Forever 21.
Whether its sleeves are rolled up or down and no matter what the colour, blazers are definitely keepers. Styling options include a T-shirt tucked slightly into the evergreen skinny jeans, and layering with the classic white button-up. A dark horse you might've overlooked under the accessories is the F21 Vintage Rose Bracelet. What I like about it is that it's actually a rose brooch attached to two strings of pearls; thus, the brooch can be separated from the bracelets and worn separately. Since brooches are awesome for blazers and pearls are a must-have always (I've come to categorise them as "classic" rather than "grandmotherly") I really wish I could buy it (I'll bet you my parents won't let me)- USD 10.80!!!
Those three words, I've said too much- but not enough
Can anyone think of names for the colours in the spread above? I just spent over an hour making it. I think the pink can be rose pink, bordering on bubblegum pink, but as for what looks like a cross between purple and brown I have no idea.
I somehow love making magazine spreads. They're tedious, but super fun and you get this immense feeling of accomplishment after finishing them! My wishlist was my unintentional first. Next colour scheme spread coming up will be on a blue that's between aqua and sky, and stone grey.
