Matchy Matchy

September 11, 2012

So the verdict from yesterday’s post is definitely Eva Longoria. Man, do I feel stupid. I never really got into the whole Desperate Housewives show, so I am blaming my lack of recognizing her on that. I knew that bum didn’t belong to Kim K!
On another note, in a world that’s set on mixing and matching patterns, is it still cool to be matchy matchy? It takes awhile for fashion trends to reach Ohio. If it’s not still cool, Ill just reschedule this post for three years from now, because anything that goes out, just recycles to come back in at a later date. 

::Jacket J.crew old (similar here), Jeans Gap (similar here), Top Marshalls, Jewelry Forever21 David Yurman Francescas, Shoes (similar here)::
**Thanks to Lisa for the pics!
What do you think? Matchy/Matchy or not so much?

Also, today is September 11th. Thoughts and prayers going out today to anyone who lost a loved one eleven years ago.

    I think it's the perfect balance and just enough matchy-matchy to be acceptable! I say rock it with confidence!

    I rock the "matchy-matchy" look all the time, I think it's perfectly acceptable! It makes you look pulled-together.

    I like this! It doesn't feel too matchy matchy to me even though its all neutral color palette, I think it looks great on you, especially with a red lip!

    It's fun to jump on board with trends like pattern-/print-mixing, but I think matching outfits is a classy suggestion (not a "rule") that will be around forever! 🙂
    That top is just tooooo cute, by the way!

    I don't think you're too matchy at all. You are wearing neutrals, so you can pair it with all neutrals or you can add a pop of color anywhere (shoes, belt, jacket, pants). I love love the polka dot top!

    I think keeping it with a color/print scheme is nice! Don't always have to push the envelope to be chic! This looks great 🙂

    I love your shoes. I love even more the ones you linked too. So pretty with the cap toe. This is such a pretty outfit, and I don't think matching ever goes out of style.

    I love matchy-matchy! It's a deep-rooted psychosis from my childhood. My mother routinely dressed me in head-to-toe the same color. I had a rainbow of Keds; all with matching tops and bottoms. I find matchy-matchy comforting!
