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!
