This is an excellent way to add vibrancy to your look. It works because it is still one of your colors, not random.<br /><br />The second thing is that wearing a longer top under a shorter jacket also works for us triangles with long torsos. Again, this doesn't work if it's put together randomly. The lines must fall in the right place, and the colors need to work together.<br /><br />Dressing outside the safe choices really is a science and an art. You are painting pictures with clothing, Susan.Prairie Poulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784027582453290583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-22959915152719326512016-08-23T20:30:59.682-04:002016-08-23T20:30:59.682-04:00I love the blue of the jacket with the green of th...I love the blue of the jacket with the green of the bag. The intensity of the colors work together and the scarf sort of pulled the look together.

Just enough pattern with the scarf to make it fun and catch the eye. Love that trick of drawing the eye away from those areas that we don't want a person to linger on. I'm a petite person in her upper sixties and have been trying to incorporate more color into my usually very minimalist wardrobe. Pattern...yikes, has not been in my closet for decades. I will follow your lead and add a patterned scarf to some outfits in the future. Your look is especially nice for these ending days of summer. Thank you for all your hard work putting this blog together!DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826206080830978593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578527149393066342.post-82934436910139291412016-08-23T16:14:50.275-04:002016-08-23T16:14:50.275-04:00What a beautiful color green purse!

At first it was because of severe downsizing and lack of closet space and then for fear that I'd outlive my IRA but now it's because I realize I don't have to have so many clothes and I'm happier without a jammed closet. Like you and, partially thanks to you, I'm sticking with the basics and items that can be woven into several outfits. I feel free and well-dressed for every occasion. Thanks for all you do every day.
