Fall cardigans-"Zonk" Blue ribbed sweater





Hello, welcome, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Are you feeling the need for some bright color?
 I know I am
This week I am dressing in a bright dopamine hue,
to make up for the end of daylight savings time, 
and the shorter hours of daylight

The color on the tag of my
 V-neck ribbed cardigan is "Zonk" blue
I love it!
 I purchased a matching tank style top in the same color,
but in a different fabric and texture,
 for a modern twin set look
You will be seeing them worn together at a later date,
but today, I am just wearing the cardigan

Color names are so much fun,  
but sometimes can be a little misleading
This one doesn't mean much,
 but you can guess it will be lively
It's a bright turquoise blue
 (like this year's Pantone color "Capri") 

For this outfit,
 I chose a trusty neutral black and white base 
A white ribbed short sleeve mock neck,
 and classic black, straight leg trousers
 


A bright shot of color to chase away those 
chilly weather blues


The little Kate Spade neckerchief inspired the outfit
It turns out to be such a good match for the cardigan,
although I didn't expect it when I purchased it 
I am attracted to many Kate Spade prints,
 as the brand frequently uses bright colors,
 cheerful polka dots and the high contrast
  graphic prints that I love 


For jewelry, I chose a bright gold, chunky retro wrap bracelet,
braided hoop earrings and a DIY pendant necklace
with a turquoise dyed fossil disc  


Carrying a two tone black and tan mini bucket bag,


and wearing black and tan slip on block heel Maryjanes
for a super matchy outfit!



Here is another turquoise piece from my wardrobe
worn on the blog in autumn, 2021
This shirt is not quite so "zonk"ingly bright,
but still in the same beautiful turquoise blue family 



The time to vote is Tuesday,
if you haven't already!
I voted early by mail,
which made the process super easy

This plush Husky dog
is wearing a fabulous vintage
bow tie on her head as a reminder




Hope everyone enjoys their week!
