Cayenne & Nutmeg

This time, I created a look that is loud on the outside and soft spoken on the inside. ^_^
This is a prime example of how to wear two completely different outfits at the same time. Each look can stand on its own, but as you will see in the next photo, even when all of the pieces are visible, the results are aesthetically pleasing. This one took quite a bit of thinking, although I decided to wear the shorts at the last minute before my partner and I headed out for coffee. Sometimes, you just gotta go with your gut!

Aww, look at my ruffled collar! Bah! >_< You know what, though? When people wear shirts, their collars get ruffled. So, it's good that I didn't bother to fix it, because I mean, this is real life, bro! I'm just keeping it real and what not. Hehe. ^_^ OK. So, what am I wearing? Well, I've got my supremely awesome vintage cardigan from Dear Golden on Etsy. The textures and pointelle perforations are beautiful and I fell in love with that nutmeg hue at first sight. I believe it is from the 1970s and it has pockets! w00t!

I paired the cardigan with my navy corduroy high waisted shorts. I purchased the shorts from a girl in my swap group. The brand is Dear Creatures and the shorts were sold on ModCloth as the "Camp Comforts Shorts."
They're pretty baller. :D The hem and pockets are scalloped and the color is versatile enough for infinite wear. I think the navy, nutmeg and red worked really well in this outfit.

That's all she wrote. ^_^ You'll probably remember the bird blouse from this previous post over the summer. I'm wearing a long sleeved thermal top AND a long sleeved cotton top underneath. You can't really tell, though, huh? :D I'm also wearing thermal pants underneath my tights. Yep. That's how you wear shorts in November. Now, hush! ;P I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was grand! ^_^

The red with the yellow is really striking. Those shorts are gorgeous.

I'm so glad you mentioned all the thermals underneath! Until moving to Korea, I had no idea how people actually dressed for real winter until the 2nd year when someone told me about thermals and fleece-lined things. But the awesome thing is, you can't even tell!
Love how there are 2 outfits in one. And how the underneath outfit look so delicate and feminine. Very cute!

Yeah, dude :D It's all about what people don't see with a lot of my outfits. I try to find ways to layer without looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man haha <3

I am OBSESSED with those shorts, and I love the fact that you paired them with that shirt that has a color that is almost identical in color.

Ah, those shorts! I love everything about this, but I love love love those shorts. So perfect with that blouse and cardigan (pockets, yessss!). Lovely colour scheme as well. Brilliant bit of trickery featuring the bright colours on the outside! Love the idea of two completely opposite looks in one, and you nailed it!

I like that you think about not just your outfit but how your outfit looks with outerwear. (Also the way your sunglasses match the red of the coat in that first shot is brilliant).

Those scalloped shorts! it's a bit ridiculous how much love I have for them, they are quite amazing! :D I love the idea you had of having two concepts going on and pairing them together. It's a very brilliant way of utilizing the pieces you have to tell a story. Plus, the color combo is truly admirable as well!

The brighter, the better is my motto so I love this entire primary-color look. I also love how it looks completely different without the jacket. And don't worry about the collar--just shows that you actually wore this out and about, right?

Haha yes! I even said to my partner as we were walking down the street to get coffee, "I wish I had a nice back yard or a nice wall and great lighting in the apartment, because I really want to phone this one in. It's so cold!" To which he replied, "But your varied backgrounds let people know that you wore your outfits in real life and I think that's important." He's the best person in the world. <3

The cardigan is truly one of my favorites! I want to wear it more, but the color is a little tricky. I'm not sure why that is the case for me, either. Hehe. Thank you for visiting, by the way! I appreciate it! <3

Well done, I had no idea you were wearing shorts - I did think maybe a dress underneath the coat! The coat, by the way, is soooo my favorite piece! And the bag! But the coat is for me super classy! You are right, shorts in November require special measures :) Not only tights! I liked the shirt as well, oh, I can go on saying that you do look amazing, but you know that for sure! denisesplanet com
