Daily Outfit - 12/15/09

dailywear

Last night I tweeted (follow me @fabfinds50) that I needed to get out of my black outfit rut. I haven't given my outfits any attention recently leaving me reaching for the basic black combos in the morning. However, once I finish my class (final is tonight!) and wrap up some holiday stuff I am looking forward to having more time for outfit planning and blogging!!

Also, let me just say how much I love the "power of a scarf"! If I didn't have this great scarf on today I would look pretty random in my mixing of brown, purple and burgundy. However, add a scarf and viola - it pulls everything together!

Oh I am LOVING this, lady! You wield the power of the scarf like none other! And a major bravo for not wearing black...I need to challenge myself to do that more often...I didn't yesterday, but of course my internet at my apartment decided not to work. grrr, i'll just have to pair it up with my outfit today for my next daily duds post. :)

But seriously. You look fantastic!

You look wonderful! I love the color combo and you're right, that scarf really pulls it all together. I was never a scarf wearer before this year but I'm loving them now!
