Neutrals with a Pop of Color

Hello, and thanks for stoping by my blog!

Head to toe neutrals and full on head to toe bright color 

are both trending this fall, at the same time,

so why not mix the two looks?

This week my outfits are predominantly neutral,

but with the addition of a pop of bright color to liven the look up!

Suiting pieces and bold shoulders are also being shown this season,

no doubt because nearly everyone has been dressing very casually,

 and mostly working from home

It looks like the fashion industry is encouraging us to dress up, again 

 My first outfit features a sharply tailored double breasted blazer in taupe

I paired this jacket with navy blue straight leg trousers

To add a bit of color, I am carrying a bright red convertible clutch bag, 

and a favorite 1960s vintage multi color bull's eye scarf in red, blue and mustard

I chose simple, minimal silver tone jewelry for this outfit-

a bold design hinged bracelet and substantial textured hoop earrings 

Navy blue patent leather kitten heel sling backs to finish the look

Next, a seldom worn dress by French Connection,

 that has been in my closet for a long time

This dress seemed like the perfect season spanner when I bought it

  It has a modified boat neck and short puffed sleeves 

that you usually see more on spring and summer pieces 

The dress is in a lightweight cable knit that seemed ready for fall and winter

This dress is trying to be all things at once!

Anyway, styling it up today for fall, with a hot pink sleeveless ribbed mock neck 

layered underneath 

Another pop of pink in my bag

A two toned geometric statement necklace to add interest,

with pink irregular shaped stone earrings and a cuff bracelet

I have this simple bracelet in gold and silver tone

and I wear them both a lot

When I find comfortable bracelets that fit my super small wrists-I snap them up!

Black and white plaid bow pumps to finish, 

and lean the outfit a little further towards fall

Here is picture of my husband and I in this outfit

So happy that he enjoys dressing up and has fun coordinating our outfits

I have been a little slow to appreciate his love of dressing in matching colors-

but I'm catching on!

His shirt is by Tommy Hilfiger, and is royal blue

with bright pink and white stripes

My husband used to sing in a Barbershop Quartet 💈 

and this shirt was part of one of his performance outfits

I hope everyone enjoys their week!
