Hi, friends! Today I’ve got a new favorite color combination that I’ve just been dying to share with you, and you’ll never guess what it is…
…turquoise and yellow! It’s anything but traditional and so bright and vibrant, which is why I love it!
Color is such a fun way to express yourself. And I love how easy it is to come up with new and unexpected combinations. Some of my favorites from the past year include purple and yellow, maroon and pink, and forest green and pale pink. But right now, I’m ALL about the turquoise and yellow.
My obsession with turquoise and yellow all began with this scarf. I love how the golden yellow and orange perfectly compliment the turquoise stripe running through it. It’s just so bright and happy and makes me want to smile, even when the temperatures outside are frigid.
To bring out the beautiful turquoise color in the scarf, I paired it with this tissue turtleneck (my most-worn cool weather piece). It’s not only the perfect weight to wear in the fall by itself, but when winter comes, it’s the perfect layering piece under sweaters (and especially the scratchy wool ones!).
I have this turtleneck in nearly every color because it’s just so versatile! But if you’re looking to just try one, I love the heather flannel color. It’s a beautiful neutral gray that goes with everything!–last seen here.
But back to my current color obsession now…To tie all the colors together of this outfit together, I added a velevety corduroy mini skirt in a rich chestnut color. My exact skirt is only available in bright red now (so cute though btw!), but I’ve linked similar versions below.
I love how versatile this skirt has been this fall and winter. It’s been a great way to add variety to my cooler weather wardrobe when most of my outfits revolve around jeans or pants. The corduroy material makes it feel like a truly autumn piece (it’s got a good weight of material), as opposed to a summer skirt you are trying to make work in the fall. And it even looks great with tights in the winter too!
As for accessories…none needed! The scarf is statement enough in my book.
And let’s be honest…winter dressing is all about comfort and simplicity when it takes most of your energy just to summon up the courage to brave the elements outside, right!?
Scarfs for the win, friends! They are your best friends come cooler temperatures. So why not get ones that are happy and bright!? (and fuel a current color obsession 😛 )
What about you? Have any fun, out-of-the-box color combinations you’re loving lately?
