There is a reason why wine is so often paired with food and why chocolate almost always has a sidekick, whether it be cheese, fruit, nuts, or just more chocolate. There is a reason why popcorn must be consume while watching a movie. There is a reason why maple syrup must accompany pancakes.
What is the reason? Together these individual pieces become better. Each elevates, enhances, and amplifies the another. Alone they are certainly good enough, but together they create unmistakable magic.
For instance: I like these Red Engine jeans to a very high degree. Perfect boot leg and a really crisp, dark, clean wash that is ultra appealing right now. I am also VERY into uneven hemlines. Which is why I am really, really loving this Sweet Romeo top. It is so visually interesting that terms such as "dull grey" or "simple cardigan" never cross the mind, even though it is one even hemline away from being coined either! Pairing this top up with the jeans instantly creates a simple act of harmony. Each looks better with than without the other.
And better is always, well, better.
