- I chose navy and medium grey for her neutrals because I thought they’d complement her lighter skin and hair whereas black might be more harsh near her face.
- For skirts I stuck to pencil skirts, but pencil skirts that came out in more of a straight line rather than ones that were super duper hip hugging to 1) balance out her cute curves, and 2) help them transition better to casual wear. If you are looking for non-pencil skirts that are more flowy, here are some in navy, coral, and polka dots.
- Sophie’s Pinterest board had a lot of yellow, green, and polka dots with some stripes so I chose colors accordingly. I thought coral would be a nice complement to both of those so I took the liberty to add it to the mix.

There are more case studies coming, but I need your feedback to make them helpful to you.
- What do you think of the Polyvore Create/Gallery section above?
- Do you want more of an explanation of why/how I chose what I did for her? ex. An explanation of each piece? I tried not to write too much and put it all in image form, but if you actually want the explanations I’d be happy to write more in future case study posts.
