Hello, welcome,
and thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
Today I chose a simple color block outfit
in plum and black,
dressed up with some special accessories
The plum, or berry color of my pullover sweater
has been very popular this season,
along with all the shades of red
My sweater is a semi sheer crochet knit pattern,
and I am wearing a black slip dress underneath
This combination provides the perfect amount
of layered coverage and warmth
for our current autumnal weather
I think plum is a very good color for fall
It is seasonal, but not too dark,
as the fall and winter colors sometimes go
I haven't done much shopping
in the brick and mortar stores so far this fall,
but online, I notice many shades of red
and brown seem to be dominating
Much more than I expected
Will you be adding any red
tones to your wardrobe this season?
How about brown?
If so, it is a good time to purchase
There is such an abundance and so may shades
available to chose from
Truly something for everybody!
Carrying a light tan half circle bag
with a quilted fold over flap,
to brighten the overall color
of the outfit up a bit
For jewelry, I chose gold tone finishes
A vintage hinged wrap bracelet,
a birds-on-a-branch necklace
purchased years ago, that I still love,
and wear frequently,
and reticulating open teardrop shaped earrings
I added a few more accessories
to spice up this simple outfit
A vintage swirling, psychedelic print
black and white scarf from the 60s,
and a black sequin and tweed fabric sash belt,
tied in the back
Also wearing a black and white polka dot hairband
for a little subtle pattern mixing
(It got left out of this picture)
For shoes I am wearing classic light tan and black
block heeled sling back spectators
They go so nicely with the bag,
I will have to use this pairing again
A previous outfit from winter 2022,
with a cardigan sweater in a similar plum color
over a wild geometric print dress-
quite a different look!
Loving my crockpot at this time of year,
a quick and easy-dinner that cooks itself!
Stay warm and have a great week!
