I can hardly believe I'm even thinking about long-term wardrobe planning this close to the wedding, but my mind knows no limits.
The usual approach to wardrobe planning is to start by picking 2 neutrals and a print. I've decided that one of my neutral colors shall be (drumroll, please) grey. After reading, surfing and taking some online color quizzes, I have come to the conclusion that black is too stark for my coloring.
I love the combination of grey and lavender, and also of grey and raspberry. I have a fuschia scoop-neck knit shirt that is very flattering--I'd love to find that color in fabric yardage. Black and grey with color accessories can be a great look, too. I would still have the option of using black for pants or skirts--always keep the darker color on the bottom is my motto. Also, black shoes would work with grey clothes really well.
How great would it be to find some highest quality grey fabric and make a jacket, pants and skirt for a core wardrobe! I could use my Unique jacket pattern (see previous MoB posts & pics) cut longer as a blazer. My Sandra Beztina Vogue skirt could be another piece. Add some shells in the afore-mentioned lavender, raspberry and fuschia.....oh dear me, I must not go there now--back to wedding tasks this instant!
