Scarves

 

Do you have an outfit or two that could use a little punch?

Well, I'm still weeding out things in my closet and getting 'er organized.  It's really hard for me to get rid of some things just because I've only worn them once, but...

Back to the subject at hand and that is scarves.  Don't you just love them?

They can transform a plain outfit into something so smashing.

 

I wear a lot of white in the Spring and Summer and just love being able to simply add a scarf to a rather plain outfit to change the entire look.  And, ladies, scarves don't require much room in you closet either.

Also, another side benefit of wearing scarves ...you most likely will not see someone wearing the same scarf as you have on ...especially if you shop online.

I can't say enough about this coral scarf.  I bought it because it is bright and cheery and I was tired of wearing the dull colors of winter.  What surprised me is how often I am able to wear this one scarf.  The color goes with almost everything!

P.S.  I bought some yellow nail polish to go with the top scarf and plan on wearing them both on my date nite.

First Concert On The Lake

This evening I am getting ready for our first-of-the-season concert on the lake.
I expect things to get a little cool once the sun goes down... so I'm taking along my trench coat {not photographed}.

I'm wearing black jeans {gonna be sitting on the grass, blanket, etc.} and thought these would be the best choice.

I just love my bright azealea colored tank top I got this year.  It always makes me feel so festive.

Have a great evening!

Your Skintone - Wearing Pastels

I'm doing a little research on colors, skin tones, and basic wardrobe ideas in an effort to sort out my closet this month.

Do you have many pastels in your closet?

I have very little and now I know why ...they aren't right for my skin tone ...they wash-me-out.  My choices tend to run along the deeper, darker, and brighter pallette of colors.

I have a lot of black in my closet though ...it is truly an easy color to mix and match with others and also easy to dress up or down.

So...

Do you have any idea what type you are?

If you are curious ...check out a website here to get some input from Tyra Banks.  I found this website to be quite helpful.

I discovered that I was a Spring/Warm type and with that information in hand will start doing a bit more color sorting now.

It makes more sense to me now.
