I had planed to try an analogous outfit made of warm colors but couldn’t resist my comfort zone today. These blues are certainly closer to green than purple on the color wheel but this more yellowy-green makes this unquestionably analogous and not monochromatic. I considered wearing my green shoes but it made the outfit feel a bit gimmicky. Instead, I finished the outfit off with one of my favorite pairs of earrings and and am feeling quite lovely in this color combination.

   Cute!

   BTW, when I click to see your individual catagories, I can’t see the pics. Maybe it’s just my computer??

   I have a question about your opinion of Dansko clog colors.

   I love your blog, and was reading through many of your posts and getting a lot of good ideas. I see that two of you have worn Dansko clogs with outfits, one pair of black and one pair of the Cordovan/red, and I think a brown pair, too.

   In terms of coordinating a polished look, would you go with black clog, or do you think the red colored clog would work well with many color combinations?

   I’d love to see some color wheel combinations with the red clog.

   Thanks for the great ideas and information!
