Yin and Yang and Outfits
The idea behind the Yin and Yang is that when things are bad, there is a little good in them, and when things are good, there's a little bad in them. It means that there are no real absolutes and that things that are opposite are truly part of one another. I like to think of this when I make outfits.
Really.
Take for instance a floral patterned dress. On its own it may look too sweet. Pair it with punk inspired stud earrings and the dress feels more hip.
If you wear a t-shirt and ripped jeans you may look sloppy. But add a crisp blazer and the sloppy pieces are transformed.
Pearls want leather.
Lace craves combat boots.
Yin needs Yang.
Confucius says: Pink satin peep toes look best with those black side zip jeans.
