| Giddy Necklace in Purple - Anthro Orig $42 Sale $30 - July 2011 |
Every once in a while, it's fun to style in reverse. That's what I did with Anthro's Violet tasseled, crochet covered, faceted plastic, bead bedecked Giddy Necklace. Like mixed up berries strung out on a dainty looped Gold vine. When shook it makes a quiet jingle only you will hear.

I took a spin through my Closet holding the Necklace up in front of my cloths. I could have referenced the Color Wheel on the background of my Desktop. Please tell me that you Gals keep a Color Wheel handy for reference.

Less than a minute later I found harmony for the Violet Giddy Necklace. Anthro's Jaqueline Dress in Chartreuse. On the Color Wheel, Yellow and Violet are directly across from each other. They're complimentary. That explains why the dress and the necklace are pleasing together. As an added bonus, the Ivory bodice breaks up the outfit. I wouldn't want to blind my friends and co-workers in passing.

Did I go overboard by pairing J Crew's Cashmere Cardi and Anthro's Quelusia Heels? Too much Violet perhaps?
Next time I might try my Jackie Cardi in Radiant Orchid with Anthro's Infinite Loop Sandals for a toned down, casual variation of this outfit.

I've worn my Half Slip from Etsy's A Slip Shop 3 times in two weeks. You don't need to be tall to enjoy a touch of lace along the hemline.
