one dress challenge, day 13: block print embroidered jacket over striped midi dress

I bought this embroidered coat when I was in India last year sourcing stones for the Contra Collection, but I’ve been trying to figure out how to style it ever since I got back. I kept trying to wear it with jeans, and couldn’t quite make it work. It turns out, that’s because it was made to be worn with a dress! (This dress to be precise!)

I love the contrast between the warm and cool shades of yellow and the pattern with the stripes. (Not to mention the stripes on the inside of the coat!) And I decided to add a Contra necklace with some color to it too, to further play with color mixing!
