Adding interest with accessories

Blazer- Dorothy Perkins option option

blouse- old option

skirt- old option option

scarf- Tuesday Morning option option option option

boots- shoes.com option option option

earrings- gift option option

Without this scarf, I think an outfit of a camel blazer, white blouse and brown skirt would be pretty boring. So I'm all for accessories. This scarf gives some color and interest to the outfit. I must admit, I probably wouldn't have come up with this on my own. There isn't a stitch of brown in the scarf, but with the deep burgundy and blues, it still works with brown. I was inspired by this pin and outfit created by Bridgette Raes. I went with burgundy earrings to tie in the scarf a little more.

How do you jazz up neutral pieces?

jeans- NJDJ Nordstrom option option

scarf- gift option option option

necklace- online boutique option option

earrings- Cato option option option

shoes- Target option option option

worn Jan. 24, 2016

I love a chunky cable knit sweater for cold days. They just scream cozy. And I still reach for this sweater that I picked up from Old Navy last year. Here is a similar version available this year. I added this knit infinity scarf and thought it still needed a little more interest, so I added the necklace. Do you ever layer accessories this way?

Layering basics

Beanie- Target option option option

shirt- Banana Republic option option option

chambray- Old Navy option option option

leggings- Sears option option option

jacket- JCP option option option

Chelsea boots- Clarks option option

worn January 23, 2016

I think that leggings, a striped tee or turtleneck, and a chambray shirt are all basic pieces that everyone should have in their closet. By now, a utility jacket is pretty much a basic piece too. These pieces can be worn in lots of ways, and when it's super cold, you can layer them all together in one outfit like I did. We went to do a photo shoot Saturday (indoors thankfully) but I had to get to and from it in temps that only went to 38 for the day and 23 mile per hour winds. The hair wasn't going to make it and we were shooting in a gym that I thought might be cold and drafty, so a beanie was in order.

I love the little peek of stripes from under the chambray.

Dots on dots

sweater- Tillys option option option

shirt- JCrew factory option option

skirt- thrifted option option

tights- Target similar option

booties- TJMaxx option option option

necklace- chicos (thrifted) option option

bracelet- Forever21 option option

This outfit was so much fun. I'll admit I got a few strange stares at the polka dot tights. How dare a forty-something year old woman dress like that? LOL. But I loved it and felt good in it all day. This outfit has been in my head since last winter and combines three of my favorite pieces- mustard cardigan, polka dot popover and this skirt. I'm glad I finally wore it. If this popover ever returns to JCrew factory, snatch it up. Here are 9 ways I've worn it. It just won't stop.
