Marigold Fields

June 12, 2021 by The Partial Ingredients

This Spring I have been kind of obsessed with the color yellow, but not just any yellow. It’s got to be a deep golden yellow, just like a field of marigolds or late afternoon sun. So deep that it’s almost orange, but not quite. While the days have gotten considerably warmer, the nights are still beautifully cool. Here in Colorado, as soon as the intense sun goes down, the temperature can drop into the 50’s even in the middle of Summer. My go-tos have been lightweight pullovers, like this colorblock sweater from Urban Outfitters. It’s perfect for late night walks or sitting around a fire pit.

I like to pair golden yellows with neutrals like cream, charcoal and black. That unofficial rule is actually true across the board for the minimalist at heart: pair one bright color with 2-3 neutrals. This “rule” actually comes from interior design, and it holds just as true with fashion as well! The yellow and cream are such a great match. If you love one bright color, build around that color idea with neutrals and you can’t go wrong! My one suggestion is keeping busy patterns or pattern mixing to a minimum, since the focal point is all about the color balance. If you do plan on introducing a pattern, go with the pattern in whatever your bright color is, then choose solid neutrals around it.

Electric Dreams

December 20, 2018 by The Partial Ingredients

To be honest, I’ve mostly bought coats for utilitarian purposes only.  Just give me something that will keep me warm even if I look like a puffy bowling ball (basically George Costanza’s Gortex coat).  But lately I’ve started looking for nicer, slightly less ridiculous looking outer gear.  I’ve had my eye on camel trench coats for a while but I couldn’t decide which one to buy.  My goal was to find an affordable coat that still had a fairly high wool percentage.  That wound up being a challenge since most of the affordable coats weren’t made of decent fabric, and then I had the opposite problem where the decently made coats were way too expensive.  So what to do? After searching around I stumbled across this coat from Zara which retails for under $200 and is made from 75% wool.  Perfect–exactly what I was looking for!  I wasn’t disappointed, this coat is well made and looks fantastic with denim.  It’s pretty much the perfect “going out” coat for winter that will actually keep you warm!

Onto the details:  I’ve always loved the minimalist trench and graphic tee combo, so this tee from Urban Outfitters was a perfect addition to this look.  I went with my favorite pair of classic vintage style levi’s in a lighter wash and a high-rise. You can’t go wrong with a good pair of Levi’s, and while I love all their styles, I’m personally a fan of the 721’s.

Fall Neutrals

October 5, 2018 by The Partial Ingredients

Some Fall days are warm enough for short sleeves, others not so much.  This post is about those warmer Fall days, where you want to wear Autumnal colors, but you can’t justify the layers.  I recently came across this great 70’s inspired button up top from Urban Outfitters and fell immediately in love with the color and pattern.  Really digging that retro menswear vibe–and it’s comfy AF too!  I went with my classic Joe’s skinny jeans because they look great as part of a neutral toned look.

Another recent shoe find I’m currently in love with: the Destino Flat from Free People. While I don’t typically go for black sandals, these were too perfect to pass up.  They come in a variety of colors besides black–all of which are equally tempting.  I especially loved the black for some reason which is totally not like me! These go so well with jeans and skirts alike, and the leather and overall construction seem to be of good quality.  I always need to remind myself to go against first inclination and try to branch out from what I’d normally gravitate towards.  It’s nice to do that, otherwise everything you buy winds up looking the same!  While they do run a bit pricey, you can find them on sale on eBay, Zappos, etc.

Raw Edge Denim

August 5, 2018 by The Partial Ingredients

Lately I’ve been having a love affair of sorts with everything Levi’s. I love their high wasted wedgie fits, and lately I’ve been interested in their raw edge offerings. These cropped jeans were pretty much exactly what I had been looking for since they go so well with so many Summer styles! These are the “straight leg raw hem cropped” jeans in the Rough Tide wash. You can wear them with shorter tops, cropped or tied up tees and you won’t be showing a mile of tummy due to the high rise waist.  They’re also really comfortable for all denim jeans and have a decent amount of give to them.  They’re still a little bit stiff since they’re new, but the great thing about Levi’s is that they will break in and soften over time.

I recently stumbled upon this graphic tee from Urban Outfitters and fell in love with the vintage floral design. I’ve been kind of obsessed with Audobon prints and old botanical designs for years, so this was a perfect addition to my closet.  It looks great with so many outfits, especially jeans and skirts! Another recent find was this Fossil bag in a bright mustard yellow–another totally random find. I love the size and color of this bag, and it is been a perfect small crossbody for Summer!
