Black and Camel

November 11, 2014
Happy Veterans day.  There are many Veterans Day parades going on today to honor the service men who have fought for our freedom.  Today I am participating in the Leavenworth parade and  Brrrr is it a cold day today.  Yesterday would have been a better day with warmer temps so to say the least.... we are bundled up in layers! 

 I wore this outfit obviously when the weather was warmer.  Let's talk about color comfort zones.  I have mentioned before what some of my least favorites are... yellow and orange, while some of my best colors are pink and green, and everyone's favorite Black!  Your color comfort zone can make or break an outfit.  If I am wearing pink then chances are its going to be a great outfit.  Now don't think just because I am wearing the color everything is good with the world, no what I mean is that when I wear a color in my comfort zone I carry myself with greater confidence.  Now do you get it?  Try wearing a color out of your comfort zone and see how it makes you feel about yourself.  Not the same is it?  There are a few colors out of my zone that when paired up with something it works.  This scarf is clearly orange... and not my comfort color.  It is however a perfect fall color and paired with this camel sweater and dark jeans or black slacks it works for me.  So try to remember when stepping out of your comfort zone to do it in small accessories and pair it with colors you do feel comfortable in.  This is a winning outfit for a perfect fall day!

Blanket Scarf

November 10, 2014
Happy Monday.  How was your weekend?  Mine was spent resting to get over this cold (I think it's gone) and running a few errands. Friday night we went to see the movie St Vincent and we loved it.  Bill Murray's performance was phenomenal.  Saturday I popped into Madewell to support a blogger friend who was hosting a sips and shopping event.    I took advantage of the sale and discount and picked these fab shoes on serious sale! 


Blanket scarfs are still so popular this year and the same plaid seems to keep showing up  on a lot of girls. There is something to be said for not following the crowd... this is a favorite of mine.   Maybe its the pink stripe or the fact that it's so neutral.   One of the benefits to a blanket scarf is they are larger than say a "normal" scarf, and generally they are square so there is more to bundle around you.  The other benefit to it is you can drape it over your shoulders for another look and added warmth.  With so many different plaid scarfs available right now there is sure to be a color combination that suits you.   The weather is scheduled to turn drastically colder tomorrow with a high of 38 and that is perfect blanket scarf weather, not to mention gloves and hats too!  I'm not ready for fall to turn to winter yet are you?

Floral and Stripes

November 07, 2014
TGIF friends.  I have been a little MIA this week with a cold.  It came out of no where Tuesday afternoon and has really slowed me down.  Here's hoping to having a weekend with more energy and less headache!  Maybe even a little shopping!  What weekend plans do you have? 

Do you ever purchase something in the store thinking it is black and once you get it home you think it's blue? Or that black actually looks blue?  Well That is what happened with this scarf.  This scarf varies between black and blue depending on what I pair it with.  Today I paired it with black stripes.  I will share where I pair it with blue next week so look for that post to compare!  I picked this scarf up at Forever 21.  I know what you're thinking, what was I doing in there?  My watch needed a new battery and as I waited for it to be replaced I saw this thru the store window.  So of course I was lured in! Don't get me wrong... I don't dislike Forever 21, but I don't shop there based on the age category it caters to that's all. Sometimes it's worth it to browse thru just to see what will grab your attention!

Plaid Scarfs

November 04, 2014
November arrived with brisk air and the evenings turning darker much earlier.  It's time to bundle up with scarves.  I rounded up my favorite plaids.  Versatile, cozy, and colorful... there is a plaid for every body's style.   So tell me, what is your favorite scarf?  My top picks are # 1, #2  and # 4 .    Later this week I will be sharing one of my plaid scarfs in a fall outfit!
