Which scarf? (and WIW with it)

Anne Boleyn

I wore the teal yesterday and the gold today (yes, with the same outfit under) - which one works better for y'all?

Also, does changing a scarf or another accessory in an outfit make it a "different" outfit, in your mind? Like would you wear something two days in a row like this, with a minor subsitution?

And #3 is why I always wear a half-slip - ha!

I think I prefer the gold over the teal, because it picks up some of the lighter colours in your sweater! I think changing a key piece is more of an outfit change, but I definitely have worn the -same- outfit two days in a row (come on, if it's that fab, who wants to keep it in the closet? And it's obviously fab if you can spin in it!)

Now, I want a spinny skirt :p

Love #1! And I prefer the gold over the teal by far. I don't think it's a different outfit if you only change the scarf. For myself I'd probably change either the top or bottom from one day to the other, but I would totally wear the same outfit later in the week if I did like it!

Definitely the gold scarf. Like Lyn said its picking up some color in the sweater. Looks like a very fun skirt!

I like the mustard scarf.

Love the clean vertical lines of this look. It's awesome. You have a really good color sense too, btw.

With that outfit I like the gold scarf better.

But both colors look great with your coloring.

I personally prefer the golden one. But it depends on how you feel. Both scarves look nice, depends how you feel that day, what colour do u like best that day/today? Love that small twirl!

They both look good, but if I had to pick I'm going with the mustard because it feels more Autumnal I think in this case I wouldn't consider swapping just the scarf to be enough of a difference _for me_ to wear two days in a row, BUT if the tights and shoes were also different that'd be enough.

I am with Aida all the way on this!

Also, if I were travelling and living with a very small capsule, I would do this (swap the scarf out). I just wouldn't *call* it a new outfit. But I'd feel like at least I'd had a little change.

LOVE that photo of your spinny skirt!

I like both scarves and can't pick a favorite.

I have worn same outfit two days in a row, not even with a minor change. I've done this when I have only worn the outfit for a few hours on the first day, and it's still fresh enough, plus I'm not going to be seeing the same people (which is, well, practically every day for me anyway). And I loved it so why not re-wear it?

As for what makes it a different outfit, I've been thinking about that quite a lot lately! For example, what if it's a basic wool black dress in simple silhouette? Does changing out just the scarf make it a "new" outfit? And I don't know if anyone here remembers the Uniform Project (1 dress worn 365 ways http://theuniformproject.com/year1/), but if you do, that makes me vote "yes." However I'd probably make at least one more tweak, such as swapping bags not just scarf, or different footwear/hose.

As for your two outfits there, what makes it look "same" not different enough is the sweater more than anything. That sweater is quite a statement, and rather memorable. The top/skirt/hose/footwear are more like a palette for the accessories/statement pieces/scarves to play -- the equivalent in my example above of the black dress. Does that make any sense?

I wouldn't wear the same outfit with just a scarf change two days in a row. I get bored of my clothes very fast. However, I would wear the same dress with a different sweater and tights. I like both scarves with your outfit but maybe the yellow one a little more.
