Comments:
Today I really wanted to wear these striped leg warmers my parents gave me for Christmas, so I started off with that. Then I thought it would look great to make an outfit entirely based on the brown color palette... so I chose a beige skirt, brown tights, and a warm brownish tinted jean jacket.

I also added this floral top that had different shades of brown. I know the stripes and the florals are both dominant patterns, but I think they worked good with each other. And of course, I had to add a little pop of color, so I chose orange in this case :)

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this jean jacket:

Seems all 3 of us so far love your pretty orange accessories. You also did a great job combining brown to match your leg warmers..especially your thin brown belt (stipe to match your light brown skirt.) Very pretty necklass to match those earings and purse. jgm
