I really enjoy mixing colors in combinations that many people think of as difficult. As a child, I recall my mother creating some very interesting, unexpected, and beautiful color combinations. Certainly, I appreciated her color skills at the time, but now I am able to appreciate her “color genius” even more — especially since I see so many folks struggle through the color minefield. It seems to me that the two biggest color challenges for people are brown & black and black & blue.
The dress I’m wearing is a blue, brown, and black dress from Moschino Cheap and Chic. Admittedly, since the colors are already “laid out” in the pattern, it’s not the biggest color challenge in the world for me. Maybe this look is not challenging to me in the least; still, when a good challenge presents itself, I never shy away. 
Anyway, the back of the dress has the cutest ruffle …
I also wear a red “bow necklace” from In God We Trust, a “dangling flower” necklace from J. Crew, and navy blue suede and black leather boots from Chloe. The boots are from Fall 2006 — what I consider to be Chloe’s very best season for footwear.
Here’s a picture of the boots …
That’s all for now. See you soon. — Carole

Mmmh To be Honest Beyond the color mix’s question (That your naked arms’ ethereal sensuality naturally transcends), I am Truly mesmerized by your glance on the first picture, it sounds very “sulky Serenity”, witha fanciful/fantastical disapproval vibrancy (OOoooh YES I am a “self-proclaimed expert ès GLAM forecasts”). . .
Hope you’re Well Dear Carole.
à Bientôt, Antoine

I love mixing brown & black and blue & black. When done right, it looks so chic. I have a black dress with a brown patter which, like you, makes it a lot easier to mix it up.

Oh, I love that necklace! Duh, of course, because it has bows on it, how could I not! I actually have a red bow cuff from In God We Trust; I didn’t know they also made a wrap necklace like that…
