I love to play with contrasting colours, but there is something about a matchy-matchy outfit that always appeals to me. If this is considered a fashion mistake, then it’s a faux pas that I will happily commit over and over again. Do you ever wear matchy-matchy outfits?

Thanks Sheree! I think this is more of a trumpet hem, but I’m not totally sure. There is no defined waist seam until you hit the frill at the bottom, so I’m guessing it’s too low to be a drop waist, but I’m really not sure.
I never think to do matchy outfits but you pulled this off so well – I love that shade of blue on you!!

You are just so sweet Jordan! Thank you.
its fun to be different, but matchy matchy is always such a classic way to present an outfit. Nothing wrong with being a little safe!

Thank you so very much Amy!!
The creamy colors with that cobalt blue make a great combo!
Thanks Keit! I do love this colour combo!
I am obsessed with this jacket! I’ve been looking for one just like this for months! x

LOVE IT JENNY!! Yes I do wear matchy-matchy looks. I believe that in a world where mismatched looks are so “à la mode” from time to time is good to have a look back and realise that is nothing wrong about wearing a matchy-matchy look…

You are just so super sweet!! Thank you so very much Yi-chia!
I tend to steer clear, but I love the contrast of the belt over the jacket and how it ties the whole outfit together so well!

I used to dress much more matchy-matchy until somehow, someday, I realized that everyone was considering it a faux pas! I’m definitely not over it yet, and sometimes matchy-matchy just feels right! Like you did in this outfit, which is totally gorgeous! Especially matching the cobalt blue of your dress with that belt over your coat! So chic!

You are so right when you said that sometimes it “just feels right”! I couldn’t agree more. Thanks so much Jenny!
Love the pop color of the cobalt blue dress. Looks great with the tan/neutral of your shoes and your jacket!

I love matchy matchy outfits if they’re done like this, Jenny!

Ha ha, thanks so much Alison!
I make an effort not to be too matchy . Sometimes I fail though. When I dress in vintage I actually think it looks better to be extra matchy.
The blue really pops here and the nude shoes make your legs look extra long.

Thanks so much Suzanne! I probably should make more of an effort too, but sometimes I can’t help it!
I LOVE being matchy matchy and this color of blue is so gorgeous!

Ha ha ha, of course, but you’ll have to give me yours! Thanks so much Amy!
Hi Jenny! I found your blog through tPF, subscribed immediately, and after reading for a few weeks — I absolutely love your style and your I-don’t-care-what-the-norm-is attitude. It is so refreshing, and it puts a human side to your blog, which I find so endearing. Looking forward to more of your posts!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Julia! You seriously just made me day. Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful support!
You look great!! Love the blue.

I find myself more and more intrigued with matchy matchy outfits. I actually think they look very classy and chic. It looks like you knew exactly what you were doing. Love it Jenny!

Ha ha, thank you so very much Meredith! I must admit I’m pretty good at matchy-matchy…it comes really easily to me.
love this matching dress with belt, it looks awesome!
Thank you so very much!
I love this color blue, so gorgeous on you! You should definitely commit this faux pas again! I love it:) xo
Ha ha, thanks so much Kristi! I think I definitely will!
I like matchy matchy sometimes. It looks so great here! But then I’m a sucker for such a gorgeous shade of cobalt
Thank you so very much Krista! I do love the colour of this dress!
These colors look so good together and the whole look is more like spring and not fall. Loving your glasses and hairstyle as well!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments Natalia! Funny, it felt Fall to me, but I can totally see how it feels like Spring now that you mention it.
Jenny, as long as the matchy matchy look is so chic and representable (nothing else could be expected from a girl with an impeccable style) than who really cares what the norm says? I think this is one of your features what makes you so super sweet and stand out from others, having your own way of approaching and looking at things and to adhere to that. You need to feel comfortable my dear and you should because you pullled of another nice eyecatching look today. Love how the cobalt blue sticks out with those neutrals. Also super cute pointed heels again, I would have bought the same pair
. Such a pitty that we can only be blogger friends/sisters, would be so much fun to be that in real life. so glad our ways got crossed 
Have a lovely evening my dear. Unfortunately I am so sick

Oh no, Ani, I hope you feel better! I hate feeling sick. Thank you so much for your sweet, sweet comments. Ha ha, I think we would get into a lot of shopping trouble if we lived near each other!
We would shop way too much!
I love matchy-matchy looks, and this one is particularly stunning as always Jenny!

Cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors- it looks great!

It is so one of my favourites too! Thanks Rachel!
Only you could make matchy matchy so beautiful! Nine West really did a nice job with those shoes! Wish they were current!!
Thanks Whitley! I’ve seen them come back with this same style a couple times since, so they might bring them back again. I will let you know if I see them.
I love matchy-matchy and I definitely wear it a lot
I love this color combo, very pretty! And those shoes are SO cute!
Thank you so very much Miranda!
what a fab outfit! i love that anorak/parka. it’s ideal for fall!
http://www.insparisian.blogspot.com
Thanks so much Brooke! I love this anorak too, and I actually bought it in 2 colours!
Love the cobalt blue and adore that Marc Jacobs bag! Beautiful!

Jenny i LOVE the color of this dress. And is that a drop waist? I would love to see what it looks like sans jacket. I am so into drop waists right now but not sure how they would look on someone with a tummy
LOL
And if matchy matchy is a fashion no-no, I am guilty as well
Ha ha, thanks Lauren! I think this is more of a trumpet hem then a drop waist. It actually has no waist seem until it hits the flare at the bottom. I’ve tried on a few drop waists but have yet to buy one. I find they usually make me look shorter than I am, and also the drop usually hits just above the fattest part of my thigh, so it’s really unflattering. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect one.
I love matching too! I think as long as you don’t rely on it for every outfit, people know that you know what you’re doing! haha

Ha ha, that is so true! Thanks Jessica!
Great outfit! I think the belt is such a perfect detail for this look!
I can spot the OPI! You can totally rock don’t pretzel my buttons ^^
