fashion friday: a challenge


I'd like to try something new.



I made this treasury today.


I'm really digging this color palette, and I want to make an outfit inspired by it.


Pastels/muted colors are not ordinarily my friend.  But I'm longing to try something new, and I'm not really sure what to do.



So here's where you come in.
Link me a piece of clothing, accessory, shoe (whatevs) in the comments section, that you think picks up the vibe of this treasury.  I'll come back later on, and build an outfit.



I need your help, friends!



{ will you help me out?}

    should these items be something you can purchase?

    doesn't have to be something to purchase (just hopefully something i can clip to Polyvore. :P).

    i am looking for inspiration, my dears. and we all know inspiration comes in many forms. :)

    Here is a treasury I saw this morning that is so cute but it might not be quite in the colour palette you want?!?! (But lots of inspiration :)

    I like that you want to try something new - I sorta find that over time you naturally end up gravitating to certain colours and looks - for me it's lots of neutrals like in this palette :)

    Aaaaand all their photos are better than mine... *sigh* I had hoped to be able to avoid the "Obvious Newb" chic for my store, but c'est la vie...

    I like the vibe you have going on with the Treasury. It's got this romantic, ladylike vintage thing going on.

    Funny thing about the outfit building...because you've been awarded The Stylish Blogger Award and The Versatile Blogger Award.

    Woo hoo! Start doing the Happy Dance! Dance, I say!

    Stop by and grab your buttons!

    Love these colors! I saw this watch on ModCloth the other day...a great way to add some pastels to your wardrobe a bit more subtly if you not ready to take a pastel plunge :)...
