I think I went a little overboard today with accessories for last week's 4x4 wardrobe, but it was such a basic wardrobe that I had no problem finding all sorts of items to help jazz it up. Because the 16-piece collection included no prints, I was able to select accessories with a few different themes, and I took advantage of the fact, particularly when it came to jewelry and scarves!
Let's start with the scarves, because I had such fun looking for different patterns when choosing them (you will notice equestrian, zig zag, leopard and feather themes here):
Clockwise from top left: Ralph Lauren Milena Silk Twill Bridle Scarf in Fuchsia; Jovanas Women's Knitted Wrap Scarf with Tassels in Brown; Missoni Women's Zig Zag Scarf in Brown; Nature's Jewelry Leopard Print Scarf; Cerise Fashion Elegant Fuchsia Pashmina Scarf; Robert Cavalli Women's Feather Silk Scarf in Brown Multi. |
Next up is the outerwear, which is a combination of coats and vests (I went a bit heavy on magenta outdoor apparel from Patagonia, because I loved the color and just could not help myself!):
Clockwise from top left: Patagonia Women's Hooded Fiona Down Parka in Magenta; J. Crew Topcoat in Double Leopard (no longer available - see similar here); Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Jacket in Magenta; Patagonia Women's Los Gatos Fleece Vest in Birch White; Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Vest in Magenta; Ash City Ladies Glacier Soft Shell Jacket in Dark Chocolate. |
Hats, gloves, and handbags are added to the collection in this next set of accessories:
Clockwise from top left: Tuscany Leather Ambrosia Soft Leather Bag with Shoulder Strap in Dark Brown; Sur la Tte Dakota Bretton Faux Fur Hat in Chocolate Brown; Pratt and Hart Women's Classic Wool/Cashmere Blend Lined Leather Gloves in Brown; Patagonia Women's Cable Beanie in Magenta; Women's 3M Thinsulate Lined Waterproof Microfiber Winter Ski Gloves in Boysenberry; Women's Velvet Tote Bag in Leopard Print; ili Double-Zip Wristlet in Walnut; Aldo Astoille Crossbody Bag in Fuchsia. |
It's time to add some shoes to the mix now:
Clockwise from top left: Vionic Women's Suede Walking Sneakers in Dark Brown; Diba Eli Bootie in Dark Brown; Macy's Lucky Brand Women's Basel Leopard Print Booties in Natural; UGG Classic Short II Boots in Magenta Rose; Center: Hush Puppies Endless Wink Loafers in Light Purple Nubuck. |
And finally, here is the jewelry, and there is a lot, because I was finding so many great pieces that I had a hard time stopping myself (there are bird, swirl, chocolate, and zig zag themes going on with this collection):
I hope you are not suffering from accessory sensory overload at this point, but I love how these numerous accessories add pizzazz to an otherwise plain and simple basic wardrobe. Next week I will tackle a travel wardrobe in a color which is not one of my favorites, and hope that I can do it justice!
