Another thing I told myself I shouldn’t try to wear is earth tones, specifically brown. I had this incredible silk wrap skirt in my closet for years and had only worn it less that five times. It is this perfect shape and flow and a shade somewhere between mauve and chocolate brown. I have always loved mixing and matching decades of clothing. This was the perfect outfit to choose my amazing 1950s Original Rialto NY lucite hardshell handbag. who cares if I’m wearing it with a 2000s Michael Stars tank and modern wedge sandals? Wearing this palette was like a revelation in my personal style journey. I can wear earth tones, I can wear brown, and I actually love it. Personal style is fluid.
