I don’t remember how it came to be, but my high school best friend and I once declared turquoise and purple to be our power colors and somehow it just stuck. At debate competitions (nerd alert) she wore a turquoise blouse with turquoise pumps and I wore a similar purple ensemble. We thought we were pretty badass and to this day, this color combo still brings a smile to my face. We were definitely onto something because this jeweled-toned pairing is boldly perfect no matter the season.

This year, I’m determined to dress like it’s autumn, even though the season only lasts about two weeks in Arizona. So when I found this lightweight, oversized sweater at H&M, I knew I had to have it.
You would think that a tiny person in huge clothes would look ridic. Well, you’re partially right.
Although the top pretty much consumes me, I threw in a few tricks to make sure I wasn’t swallowed whole. I tucked in a corner of the sweater so I didn’t look like I was walking around pantless (pretty key, unless your name is Gaga). It’s easy for the shorts to disappear behind all that fabric, but I prefer the bagginess to be balanced with something short and crisp. The statement necklace breaks up the sea of blue and the wedges give me some much needed height. The end result: comfy and chic combined.
