What Wikipedia can't tell you about Gold & Silver

Before searching on Wikipedia for ‘Gold and Silver’, I was pretty sure of what I would find, but the result rather surprised (or I would say pleased) me.

Wikipedia redirected the results to a ‘Tele Tubbies’ episode named ‘Gold and Silver’ and took me back to the days when I used to come from school and wait for four cute toddlers to speak gibberish and do mundane things. If you watched tele-tubbies, do let me know which one was your favourite by filling this below.

I, like all miss my childhood days. I don’t hate growing up, but it sure would be fun if we could visit our past once a year (or maybe a month :P). Talking about growing up, it is less than four days before I turn a new chapter of my twenties. While I have never been so ‘not-excited’ about my birthday, I am enthusiastic about something that I have been planning for some time now. I’ll still be accepting gifts, though. 😛

I have something totally different in mind that I would tell you on 12th.

While searching for “Gold and Silver”, Wikipedia helped me in reminding a childhood memory I cherish, I am going to help you get rid of the general skepticism of mixing both of them together.

I have curated this look so that you see and get to know that mixing gold and silver is not that big of a deal. I am usually updated with my favorite blogs and forums, where people quite often have expressed their discomfort in mixing two shades of metallic or shimmer.

It could result in a disaster if you end up wearing them together without keeping a few things in mind. I am sure no one wants to roam around looking like a clown. So, here’s a checklist that I created by curating this look. If you have suggestions that can be added to this checklist, do drop a comment at the end of this post.

Minimalistic Accessories

When using metallics or shimmery clothing, always apply a minimalistic approach for selecting the accessories. Think simple and opt for a chain or a simple ring that fits this concept. Metallics ~~can~~ will anyway make you stand out of the crowd. Avoid statement accessories as you wouldn’t want the type of attention people to give to a walking jewelry store.

Bold Basic Color

Try adding a bold basic color to make the look balanced, so that the shimmer doesn’t blind you. Much like what I have done in this look.
In my outfit, I have made sure that the black is more visible and dominating than the shimmery ones.

Experiment. A lot.

While I do know we all fear to look like a clown, but nothing would be possible if you won’t walk out of your comfort zone and give yourself a shot. After trying out a lot of looks, you’ll know where you are going wrong. It is important to experiment and learn from those experiments.

While these were a few things to keep in mind when mixing Silver and Gold, here are a few things I added when curating this outfit.

I wore this sweatshirt on my last birthday, which I have used this year by adding a silver sequined jacket (last seen here) on top of it. I am wearing a pair of black ankle length shoes to make the black color stand out. I have left my hair open and kept the makeup as nude as possible. Adding a white liner on the waterline of my eyes complemented well with the silver and ready for a brunch date!
