My favorite outfit is structured/unstructured, proper/girly:
Cupid cardigan in plantation
Cut and paste tee in grey
Perfect plaid skirt in grey
Zip line bag in magenta
I love the heirloom cardigan!!
I love the Classy Curator Dress. Feminine, but sort of edgy.
I love the Weave Hello top. That color is gorgeous.
I like the decorator tee in Java. It has the solid, modern color mixed up with some romantic details.
I love the Fancy Flounce Skirt in limestone.
I love the opposites attract thing going on now with jewelry, all the mixing of chains & metallics w/pearls & soft fabrics…material girl all over again!
I love the Decorator Tee. I spend my winters covered in cardigans, so fun details on tees are a must – and I love this tee’s ruffly detail!
i liked the knit pick dress best. I would wear it with my favorite boots and my red necklace.
I love a girly, girly dress and shoes with a simple jean jacket and casual hair and makeup.
My favorite is probably the “Your Highness Dress.” So pretty!

I love the decorator tee. Can wear so many ways.
The Pin Dot Skirt is to die for!
I love the box pleat Cardi.
i love putting black and brown together…i think it looks rich and sophisticated.
I absolutely love the purple peplum jacket!! 🙂
I LOVE the sequenced tee!

My favorite opposites attract fashion is silver and gold together. They’re probably not even considered opposites anymore;)

Love the frosted flowers cardigan!
I could use the vintage lace skirt with some moto boots I’ve been dreaming of.
I adore both the heirloom cardi and the every angle pencil skirt. DEB has such cute styles!
I really like a lot of the tees and tops, but I like these pieces too, because they are how I would like to dress:
Long stem top in mercury
Decorator tee in white or java
Infatuation cardi
Perfect Peplum jacket in deep plum
Custom couture skirt in either color.
Super pretty!
It’s hard to decide which one is my favorite. I think since I don’t have many dresses that I would have to go with the Your Highness Dress. I like it in both colors but would probably go with the Rabbit(brown) color.
I am so glad that I found your blog!
I like contrasting colors and I like a men’s style blazer over a really feminine and ruffly dress or skirt.
Love the bouquet skirt and the roses edge skirt.
I like the Infatuation Cardigan because pairing a knit sweater with a silk or rayon top is one of my favorite ways to bring opposites together, not to mention it allows summer shirts to be worn well into winter as well.
I love the countess skirt/dress (worn as a skirt)
a light flowy skirt over black knee-high boots
I like the heirloom cardi.
My favorite fashionable opposites attract is always black and white. Isn’t that everyone’s?
I absolutely adore the Southern Belle top!
I love the bed of roses skirt!
I love the Cascading Skirt! I would love to see it with some tall boots, and a belted cardigan in a fun color (maybe mustard colored).
I adore the Weave Hello Top in Windsor Wine… and while I’m still figuring out my personal style(19 and breaking away from my tee-and-jeans uniform of high school), I love pairing a soft, flouncy, lacy skirt with structured tops.
I love the fancy flounce skirt. Thanks !

I love the Heirloom Cardi, but there’s so many pretty things.
I am in love with the Sequenced Tee. So gorgeous!
I love mixing edgy/dark with soft/light textures and colors when making my outfits.
I love the decorator tee. Wearing it with skinny jeans would give my usual “mom uniform” of jeans and a t-shirt some extra style.
Oh la la la! I love their cascading skirt! It’s gorgeous!
I love the Southern Belle top! Downeast is such a fun store.
I love the Ruffled around the edges dress! SO gorgeous!

I’m going to have to go with the frosted flowers cardigan. So beautiful!
Heirloom cardi for me, please.
My favorite is the Cascading Skirt–or the Bed of Roses Skirt!
I just love the heirloom cardi! The grey could be paired with so many colors- bold or feminine!
love the jewelry they picked for the vintage modern shot. so cute!

Southern Belle top for sure!
I would wear the Heirloom cardigan with absolutely everything. I really don’t think you can ever have too many cardigans!
I love, love, love everything on their site! A favorite is the Your Highness dress. Beautiful!
I love the cascading skirt!! SO so pretty!
Love the charleston jacket and the southern belle top!
i love the antique top in charcoal. so lovely!
My favorite yin yang combo is a very structured top or jacket with a billowy, romantic scarf, and a pair of flirty heels!
my favorite look right now that incorporates opposites is the following:
a light green silk, flowy cap sleeved shirt tucked into my favorite black pencil skirt (that has a panel of vertical ruffles) with a great zig-zag patterned tight, ankle boots and my cropped black faux leather motorcycle jacket. a great blend of hard and soft.
I really like the candy stripe dress. I would wear it with my beloved brown boots!!
