Love it with the blue. Wow! Jonesy knows her stuff!

Glad you are going to try something different.

I'm late to this thread, but just to say, I like the blues combo in the last photo - muted but happy colors. Can you try the blue shirt AND the red scarf? I have to look back to find it, but would this cardigan work with your green print tunic blouse and blue jeans? or charcoal dressy slacks or pencil skirt?

I sometimes try this with my challenging pieces: just try it on with absolutely everything even if you don't think it will go together. I am always surprised by the results, usually pleasantly.

You look awesome in the new combo! Love the addition of the scarf too! The colors all work beautifully together, IMHO.

Sarah the blue is just stunning! And I think the tomato red is lovely too. I wonder if I can wear that red? Glad you are keeping the cardi

cjh - I had to laugh thinking of you trying on absolutely everything with everything! But I think you're on to something. Sometimes I feel I'm too limited in my imagination of what might go with what.

jonesy - THANKS for your brilliant suggestion!

deborah - IMHO, if I can wear tomato red, you can!

Sarah, I am obsessed with this color and I adore it on you! I think it will be so versatile (think dressed up for the office/classroom or dressed down with a puffy vest) with so much in your wardrobe. I love it with the red scarf. Gorgeous combo.

What about trying it with your sandy colored Fryes or your Paul Greens (did you keep those??--apologies--Labor Day mind eraser in full effect!). I think you effectively surrender your waist, but also it may work with a thinner leather belt--perhaps with some edgy hardware?

Bottom line: KEEP.

Ooh how about cream? It seems like it'd pair nicely
