how to wear blue, black & brown together

fashion faux pas?!

dress and poncho: old navy (exact dress here; exact poncho here), 

leggings: american apparel, booties: lucky brand via tj maxx, hat: target, 

necklace: nordstrom

they say blue, black and brown cannot be mixed, right?

today i decided to try combining the three colors!

my black leggings from american apparel are a closet staple. 

i started with them as a base and added the black and white tunic from old navy

(both the tunic and poncho in these photos are on sale!!). 

with seattle winter weather well on its way, i needed another layer;

the black and white poncho, though printed, is simple

enough to go over the tunic. with all the black and white, 

i wanted to add a bit of color! i grabbed my blue hat -

it has a small black band, which ties the look together,

and my taupe ankle booties. 

what do you think? do you mix these three colors?

happy monday, everyone!

xoxo.
