winter tips | The Silk Sneaker

Scroll down to see my favourite ways to style this Pantone approved shade!

Welcome back to the colour of the month series. In an effort to make our way through what’s in for fall/winter 2016 and make sure you’re wardrobe reaches it’s season colour potential, I introduce you to the next must have shade in your fall palette. Enter Terracotta. Although it seems like a strange shade (I mean, is it orange? Is it brown? What is this colour.. is it kind of like tobacco?) It’s actually a great one to match with lots of colour combinations that are sure to get you noticed!

Burgundy + Terracotta

There is no denying this beautiful combination. If mother nature can work it (look at the autumn leaves, duh), so can you! It’s pretty much perfect for fall.

Purple + Terracotta

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not a fan of purple, but even I cannot deny how well this combination goes… maybe it will convert me.

Blue + Terracotta

Is there anything that blue doesn’t go with? I love matching warm and cool tones together, the contrast is beautiful!

Special Mention: Terracotta + Pink

I think this is my all time favourite combination, or at least my current favourite combination… keep your eyes peeled because I’m going to be wearing this combo super soon!

No outfit is complete without a touch of personality.

I am one of those people who loves to match – one of my favourite feelings is when you find two pieces that go together so perfectly they look as though they were meant to be together! (As you can imagine, co-ord sets are my dream – I’m not sure if this stems from a childhood in school uniforms or just general organisational tendencies but I do love it) So when my cream pleated pants and this pleated top went together so perfectly, not only in terms of colour coordination, pleating and length, I couldn’t help but put them together.

What really took my outfit to the next level was the addition of some key jewellery pieces. No outfit is complete without a touch of personality, and for most of us it’s our favourite ring, bracelet or earrings. There is nothing more satisfying (Yes, that’s right, MORE satisfying than the co-ords) than having a piece of jewellery that you know is yours, that you know is unique, that you know won’t be paraded around by every second person you see, regardless of the fact that you might have ‘different colours’.

That’s why Pieces of Mine is so perfect for me, and probably for you too. I loved the selection I found on their website solely because it was so unique, bringing together designers from all over the world to curate a collection of jewels that really speak to you, at a price point you can get on board with.My favourite pieces were these gorgeous earrings (how BEAUTIFUL is that pearl drop?) and no outfit is complete without these stacking rings! Thank you Pieces of Mine for the jewellery.
