Weekend Wardrobe: Accessories for Classic but Fun Navy and White Basic 4x4 Wardrobe

Last week's navy and white basic 4x4 wardrobe shown above is just begging for some fun accessories, so today I have added them (although it once again took me a while to track down the links for my reformatted images!).  Let's start with some lovely printed scarves in shades of blue and white featuring birds, boats, and bold geometric designs:

Clockwise from top left: Hermes Thalassa Silk Jersey Scarf in Navy; White Bird Print Scarf in Navy; Tory Burch Octagon Linen Oblong Scarf in Light Chambray; Pistil Mojave Scarf in Indigo.

I would happily pair that boat-themed scarf with the city scene navy skirt!

A few outer layers are next, for chilly mornings and evenings or frigid air-conditioned buildings:

Clockwise from top left: Banana Republic Soft Jersey Open Cardigan in Navy; Joules Golightly Waterproof Jacket in Navy Raining Dogs; Patagonia Women's Bajadas Hoody in Valley Flora: Classic Navy/Birch White; Boden Elizabeth Ponte Blazer in Navy.

A longer cardigan seemed like a good idea, plus a navy blazer for a more structured look (only the wearer need know that the lining has a fun cherry print!).  The short jacket with a botanical print echoes the floral theme of two of the blouses.  And how could I resist a raincoat with dogs as the print design?

Time to add some handbags, and a belt for the pants with belt loops:

Clockwise from top left: Michael Kors Striped Large East West Tote in Washed Denim; L.L. Bean Signature Women's Leather 3/4" Belt in Navy; Sea Bags Navy True North Wristlet; Talbots Pieced Pebbled Denim Crossbody Bag in Extra Dark/Dark/Light.

The tote and crossbody bags bring in more shades of blue, and I thought the compass design on the wristlet would pair well with the boat scarf.

Now for some shoes suitable for warm weather wear:

I have a preference for simple and comfortable shoes, but of course anyone who loves heels could easily find suitable selections in white, navy, and/or other shades of blue, like some of these options from Talbots here.  As for the rain boots, they have a doggie print similar to that of the rain coat described earlier, so how could I resist?

Last but not least, let's add some jewelry to the accessories mix - I really had fun selecting these bold pieces!

Clockwise from top left: Voss & Kompani Navy Silver Mesh Cuff; Rue B Abstract Statement Necklace in Metallic Grey/Denim Blue/Navy; Chico's Reversible Blue Gem Pendant Necklace in Silver; Lema J 1.5" Navy Polished Pearl Cuff with Silver Liner; Chico's Blue Wood Bead Coil Bracelet in Smokey Blue; Baltic Domini Cyaneous Bubble Statement Necklace with Bird Pendant.

Even if you just stick to a blue and white color palette, the wardrobe possibilities are seemingly endless.  However, what if you want to expand your color choices?  For this wardrobe and accessories collection, a couple of the items have touches of other colors.  Next week I will add a few more apparel pieces in two other colors to show how easily this basic wardrobe can be expanded.
