Winter jewel tones

I like wearing jewel tones in the winter, but have not incorporated them much this season. After seeing some inspiration from Stylin in St. Louise  and hi sugarplum, I decided to it was time to bring them back into my winter attire.

A New Day floral scarf

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. I receive commission for clicks and purchases made through them.

I recently added this A New Day scarf from Target to my collection. I had vowed not to add another scarf this year because it doesn't really get cold enough to wear them, but this one was a perfect match to the one on the GYPO shopping list and with the outfits, so I knew it would go perfectly with my existing outfits. It's also light enough to get away with wearing it in warmer temps if I keep it away from my neck, as I did here. (I can't find this exact one online so I've linked up some similar scarves below.)

Teal and snakeskin



 
Blazer- thrifted
blouse- JCPenney (old) similar similar
skirt- JCPenney
pumps- Belk  similar
Worn Feb. 10, 2014
 
Snakeskin prints have not been as popular this season as past but I still love to wear this blouse. And I've had this outfit pinned forever and have been meaning to wear my version for quite some time. And yes, I pulled out the pantyhose because my legs are just too pale to be seen against black.

Merry Christmas! I probably won't post tomorrow because I'll be busy tonight and tomorrow cooking lots of food, snuggling with my hubby and watching Christmas movies. I wish you all the comfort and joy our Saviour brings!
 
I found this post showing ways to wear a leopard scarf. So glad I did. It gives me one more way to wear my velvet blazer. Clearly I'm going for the second look.

Emerald velvet blazer




Blazer thrifted similar; ruffle blouse- Sears (old) similar
pants/shoes- JCPenney
Worn Nov. 20, 2013

I was feeling a little festive yet still work appropriate in this last week. I took a cue from this post (far right). 



The richness of the velvet and the ruffles on the blouse meant minimum accessories were needed. All I added were earrings. 

I also thought I'd let you know I'm selling some of my gently worn clothing that is now too large for me. I've got these jeans and these listed on ebay here and here.
