Wearing: Metallic envelope

With dark colors at every turn, I thought I'd brighten my look with a statement clutch. From H&M's prized clearance rack, the clean lines and sleek texture says anything but clearance. And hey! A black and blue ensemble! This fashion no-no (of mixing blue and black) is a yes-yes in my book; it looks fancy and chic without being too complicated. Hair tucked in turtleneck: also a yes-yes.

Sweater: Urban Outfitters (clearance, love this)

Black jeans: Cheap Monday

Booties: Lucky Brand

Clutch: H&M (similar)

Lipstick: Dark Side by M.A.C.
