I fished this Kimchi Blue tunic I hadn’t worn in over a year out of my closet 2 weeks ago to pair with my Rachel Rachel Roy draped shorts. I had the makings of a fabulous outfit until I proceeded to style it horribly with shoes and accessories that were all wrong. I knew the whole thing wasn’t working, but I was already running late for brunch, so I headed out the door anyway.
A week later, I decided to give the same tunic and shorts ensemble another shot, styling the outfit with my Alexander Wang lace-up booties (I’ve been living in these every weekend!). This time, I daresay, I got it right.
The lesson of the day for me? If at first I don’t succeed, try, try again! Does anyone else do this – take a few shots at making an outfit werrrk?

Deffinately, sometimes I buy something and get it home and think, omg what can I wear this with!, after a couple of tries I usually work out something suitable.
I think this outfit looks lovely on you! Isnt it great going shopping in your own wardrobe haha, I do it quite often. Soon I will get out my summer clothes from their space bags and rediscover lots of clothes I had forgotten about

I completely agree, you got it so right!
And I'm sure even your first attempt couldn't have been too awful with those shorts and top as the base. I adore both pieces!!
I often think of what I want to wear together, but don't think about accessories until I'm headed out the door, and so often don't get the best look.
Gorgeous tunic, darling!
Love those booties, too!
