Today I am sharing a couple tips on incorporating texture into your look. If you stick to picking colors in the same family you should have no problem applying these tips.
Color
First you need to choose your color palette. I went with pretty pastels and light blue hues.
Clothing
Since the weather has been on the cooler side lately, I added a striped blouse. Choosing a printed blouse instead of a solid added a subtle contrast to the lace front sweater. The blue pant ties this look together.
To incorporate texture try these:
- Choose your textured item (dress, skirt, sweater)
- Add a second layer in a print or solid
- Bonus tip – when wearing a skirt or dress, add a textured tight
Accessories
You can also add texture with a handbag, a belt, shoes, or a scarf. Since this outfit is super girly, I chose a light brown bootie with floral cutouts. I added a pale pink bag with a snakeskin print. The final touch was a pearl bobby pin and statement necklace.

Happy New Year hon! One of the great things about the temperatures dropping is having fun playing with textures and layering. Really like how you’ve put your pieces together adn the ultra-fem colour palette. Also loving the animal skin on that bag and cut out detail of your boots! Have a good wk! ( :
Happy New Year Biki! I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for the lovely compliment. You’re too kind. Have a good weekend! I’m excited to check out your second video. It’s on my to-do! 😀
I love the idea of adding texture to an outfit. The lace detail on the sweater is so pretty and I like the purse pink with snakeskin. those booties with the cut outs are nice. The Bobbie pin with the pearl is so you.You paint a lovely picture as always.
Aww, you’re so sweet! You have always had an eye for details. Thank you for the kind words and compliments. 😘
Love it! Love the Bobbi Brown lipstick too. I’m a sucker for those pretty neutrals. Sigh – it looks so warm where you are! LOL!
Thanks Dominique! You’re very sweet. I’m a big fan of neutral lippies, but recently branched out to bold colors.
Seattle has been very mild this year and a lot of the weekends have been warm. It’s just now getting cold.
Ahh ok! That’s amazing. I really miss Seattle. Hope to get back there this summer and visit my fave spots like Nordstrom (lol) and Pike Place Market!!
If you ever come to Seattle let me know so we can meet up. I worked at Norstrom for 10 years before moving to healthcare.
Really???? Wow! I most definitely will. We are deciding between Nanaimo, Seattle or Portland. Hoping for Seattle. It would be lovely to meet you! I’ll keep you posted. xo
Please do! 😀
This look is so cute! And those tips are super useful. I love the lace. Such a great look.
