WIW to work day 5

Mainelady

Today was a better day for me. Not fancy, but I didn’t feel frumpy. I started with a fun necklace as an accessory, but decided I needed something with more substance, so I switched the necklace for a fringed scarf, I was warm, comfortable and ready for a day of stretching, bending, sitting on the floor and singing and dancing to Workout to the
Alphabet.
Talbots green shirttail hem sweater
Talbots black luxe jeggings
Sam Edelman green fringed booties.
Cream fringed infinity scarf.

Happiness factor = fringe benefits

I appreciate comments and critiques if any of you want to toss some my way. As always, I hope to identify colors that work with the new paler version of me.

I like it a lot! The scarf looks wonderful with your sweater, and even echoes the fringe in your boots. The white brightens the other dark neutrals.

Did you decide on the scarf because it's warmer or because you preferred the weight and texture of it to the necklace? I ask because, especially in winter, I frequently think a scarf works better with my outfit than a necklace does, and I'm trying to understand why that is.

I am tending this winter to take advantage of the maximal trend and wear both a necklace and a scarf, sometimes 2 scarves. One is for inside and worn inside a coat. Another is worn for extra outside warmth over the coat collar.
You look warm and ready to rock those A, B, Cs. The fringe benefits have me smiling and wanting to put a tassel on my bag.

Fantastic. That sweater is SO flattering on you and the fringe on both scarf and boots looks great. This is a nice color scheme for you.

I love your "happiness factor"s! I am going to start thinking that way about my outfits.

Thank you, Toban!

Windchime, most of the time I choose a scarf for warmth and I like the way the visual weight and texture look with my winter clothes. All have more visual weight to my eye and I often feel like something more is required.

Joy, I am usually on Team Maximal. In addition to a scarf, a necklace, or both, I need to add my security/ identity badge ( on a long black jeweled necklace) to every outfit. I often have another scarf that goes with my outerwear. Today one of my students said, “Look at her shoes move!” Hahaha! Eyes on the teacher!

Thanks, SarahD. I hope you do identify your happiness factors. IMO they elevate every outfit and make us smile on the inside.

The colour combination is great. I love the cream scarf with the grey and black outfit. You look lovely!
Great sweater. The boots are very pretty, love the fringe and the colour. Toban has expressed it spot on - cozy chic!

I agree re. the scarf v the necklace - more visual weight was called for.

Thank you all. I liked the way the colors worked together and how the fringe added some interest and a little sass. Some outfits require a little sass. Some days, too. HA!
