Much as I love the color red, even I am tired of seeing bold holiday hues. I decided it was time to check out less flamboyant winter wardrobe colors, and the image of a vintage Hermès "Springs" Silk Scarf shown above was the inspiration for the muted color scheme of today's 4x4 wardrobe:
Various shades of olive green are represented in the scarf, so that is the muted dark neutral I chose for this collection:
 |
| Clockwise from top left: Edamame London 'Susie' Relaxed Fit Jumper in Army; Etro Band Collar Silk Shirt in Green; Haider Ackermann Long Zipped Cardigan in Khaki; No21 Tailored Trousers in Green. |
The greens I picked are more of a grey-green than a yellow-green, because my second color choice from the scarf was a pale to medium grey:
 |
| Clockwise from top left: Seventy by Sergio Tegon Silk Blouse in Grey; Fay Roll Neck Jumper in Light Grey; L.L. Bean Women's Classic Cashmere Open Cardigan in Light Grey Heather; No21 Tailored Trousers in Grey. |
The final color had to be the pale pink which is the base color of the scarf:
 |
| Clockwise from top left: Vivienne Westwood Hercules Kiss T-Shirt; Giamba Polka Dot Jumper in Pink; Ralph Lauren Cashmere V-Neck Cardigan in Vintage Rose; Emilio Pucci Slim-Fit Trousers in Light Pink. |
The t-shirt in this pink group sets the tone for the wardrobe, which is tailored but feminine (and also adds a bit of the gold accent color from the scarf that I will include in next week's accessories post). And for Valentine's Day, fast approaching in the not-so-distant future, wouldn't this top be perfect?
Finally, a bit more personality is added to the wardrobe in the last set of four:
 |
| Clockwise from top left: Giambattista Valli Printed Silk Blouse; Orvis Paisley Silk Popover Tee in Olive; J. Crew Lightweight Wool Pencil Skirt in Heather Flannel; Miss Selfridge Nude Crepe Midi Skirt. |
With three pairs of very tailored pants already included in the collection, I thought it was time to add skirts for a couple of more feminine options. The two new blouses continue the fluid look of silk in delicate prints.
Putting all four sets together gives us the following winter 4x4 wardrobe:
And because almost no one lives in dressy clothes all of the time, here is an extra set of four which focuses on a casual look and would complement the basic wardrobe above nicely:
 |
| Clockwise from top left: L.L. Bean Women's Pima Cotton Turtleneck in White; Burberry Checked Cotton Shirt in Antique Pink; Dorothy Perkins Pink Colourblock Bomber Jacket; H&M Girlfriend Jeans in Grey. |

Next week I will choose accessories, some of which will include the gold accent in the scarves, in addition to the scarf itself!
I'm gravitating toward my usual black, but also grays and sage. I've been adding a pop of color via carefully chosen handbags. I do like that pretty scarf, it would look great tied to one of my bags! :-)
