Since one of my goals for the year was to coordinate my main pieces in more varying ways, I decided to put together a few collages of dresses to see how I have been coordinating them.
It was a lot of scrolling through my phone camera! I just put together the most recent four photos of each dress that I could find. I don't always take coordinate photos though, so there's some missing.
Blouse: Blue or white
Socks: White
Shoes: Blue or white (but the white ones have since been tossed)
I really like how this looks with the blue blouse and shoes,though I think white blouse and blue shoes is good, too. I'm not sure if this would look good with black at all? The telephones in the print are a bit darker, but I'm afraid black would be too heavy.
I think a lavender blouse would also look nice! I should have a short-sleeve lavender blouse I believe... unless that's the one I lost in Japan years ago 🙀 Pink shoes should also work due to the pink ribbons in the print... I'll have to try a white blouse and pink shoes or pink blouse and pink shoes!
Blouse: Teal, blue, pink
Socks: White, blue
Shoes: Pink, blue
I actually bought a pair of yellow shoes for this dress but had to return them due to wrong size (that's a whole other drama story that's not resolved yet) and the proper size is not in stock yet
The blue blouse also allows me to remove the yoke piece on this dress! The teal and pink blouses are a bit transparent, so I have to keep the yoke in place. I think I could also coordinate this with a while blouse as that would match the underskirt!
I have a short-sleeve white blouse with blue ribbon detail that would work well. The long-sleeve white blouse would also work, I think!
