Like E and A, I too was in NYC briefly last week, which gave me the opportunity to dress up a little more than I have been recently. I missed E’s visit, but A and I enjoyed a lovely day of museums, galleries, and of course shopping! We were having such a good time we completely forgot to document our outfits for the day, but I’ve recreated mine as another example of how to bring color into the city. Magenta and turquoise are definitely two of my favorite colors and happen to be two-thirds of a color wheel triad as well (blue-green, red-purple, and the third is yellow-orange). I included this studded belt to bring up the edginess factor and the flats and stretchy black pants doubled as chic and amazingly comfortable. Today I am back out in the country, and I wanted to create a two-thirds outfit with this green apple tank top that I had recently thrifted. The blue cardigan fulfilled the color wheel part, and the scarf-as-belt brought in purple, turquoise, and more light green.
As you can see my scarf went from securely held down by belt loops to loosely knotted at the waist. I’ve often used this scarf as a belt, but I’d never tried the over-the-sweater belted look until I was inspired by my “cohort” from their scarf Fashion 101 challenge from last February. I’m learning as much as you are! Next up for Color Wheel Fashion 101: Neutrals (with a pop)!
the green apples alone are a statement.
Love the last look, with the scarf tied over the cardigan. It brings a bit more polish to the look, and makes it special.

Oh my goodness, that apple tee is SO fab.
Cute top! Love the apple print.
