Endnotes:

Today’s outfit is brought to you by inspiration from E. and Archibald Maximillion. I’ve been pushing myself to try different things for this week’s Fashion 101 module, but today I saw Archibald Maximillion’s wonderful red and purple outfit and knew it was time to return to an old favorite. I love this analogous color combo – it feels rich and warm and familiar to me. I also drew my inspiration from E., who has a similar cut top as this purple one and layers it over other 3/4 sleeve sweaters or shirts. I would have never thought to put it over anything other than a cami, so creative credit for my purple wide neck top over the red turtleneck goes entirely to her.

I love having stylish ladies all around me who I can copy ;)

A lot of Wardrobe Remixers have this skirt (including myself), but this is one of the best combos I have seen!

Thanks, Kimberly! I just love the mix of red and purple in the skirt, so I went with that color combo on top too. I’ll have to look for your take on this skirt when you wear it next!
