Old Navy Cardigan (love this too) // Striped Shirt // Francesca's Scarf, old (love to buy cheap scarves from F21 too!) // Old Navy Jeans // Sam Edelman Booties via Piperlime (25% off with code MUSTHAVE) // Philip Lim for Target Purse, old (buy on eBay) // Olive + Piper Earrings // NARS Lipstick in "Heat Wave"

I threw this outfit on last week and was instantly in love except I needed something else… so I put on this super old, bright colored scarf to pattern play a bit and loved how it brought life into the outfit! I'm a huge neutrals fan (duh, hi, welcome to my blog haha) and have been trying to hold true to my color promise! Okay, so normally that happens with a bright lipstick but that still counts. Right?

Some of my favorite ways to play up a simple outfit are with my shirt sleeves peeking out at the wrists and playing with patterns. Little details really pull an outfit together and make it more unique! Even when I feel basic ;)

Love Always,
