Jess Explains It All

So, this is my first outfit post, which I think is pretty exciting.  (See the thumbs up? Yeah, definitely exciting!)  I’ve been reading so many posts lately about a having a minimalist wardrobe and what your “wardrobe essentials” should be.  Don’t get me wrong, I love those posts (and you’ll probably see me doing some of them later) – but sometimes I don’t want to focus on essentials…I want to focus on something fun, like a wildcard!  Hence, this Wardrobe Wildcard post.So my wildcard for today’s post is a Multicolor Scarf that I got from Anthropologie a few years ago.  I couldn’t find the exact link for the scarf I’m wearing, but I’ve managed to find two that are similar here and here.

The reason that I like this multicolor scarf so much is that once you’ve settled on this one piece of your outfit, the rest is super simple to put together.  I like to stick to solid colors for the rest of the outfit so that it doesn’t clash too much.  A trusty black bandage skirt (similar here) is always a go-to piece for me when using this much color.  Then I can be a little more bright with the other pieces, like my teal shirt (similar here)!  I chose the teal shirt because that color is also in the scarf, but as you can see, if I didn’t have teal, I would have a lot of other options too.  That’s why a multicolor scarf is so great!

For my other accessories, I tend to go pretty light, because I don’t want to look like there’s too much going on in my outfit.  I threw on some purple booties (similar here) to match the scarf and dress it up a little.  I normally do sandals, but I thought a small heel might be nice too.

Then I threw on some dangly earrings (similar here) and a huge smile – and I was done!  The earrings I’m wearing are made out of shells that are two different colors – one is teal and the other is more of a cream color, but since both of those colors are in the scarf the two pieces go nicely together.

There you have it!  My first outfit post – a wardrobe wildcard!  Hope you enjoyed reading it, and are starting to think about ways to dress up some of your own wardrobe wildcards.

Happy styling, fashionistas!
