a few of my favorite neutrals are in play today along with classic wardrobe staples. way back in january (it seems like such a long time ago) i shared a style series ‘back to the basics.’ guess what made the list? if you said a white shirt or green cargo pants ‘advance to go and collect $200’ monopoly money that is. as you can see if you have the basics on hand, it’s easy to pull together a seamless outfit that will have you out the door in the morning in no time.
spoiler alert: this scarf is several years old – zara 2015 for those eBay aficionados. i mention this because whenever i wear this scarf, there is a barrage of emails asking where to find it. the best and worst aspect of the blog is the fact i wear just as many new items as old. that’s the beauty of timeless classic style. it relies on wardrobe workhorses instead of trends.
but a scarf is a great addition to any outfit. it provides a layer of warmth for those chilly spring mornings and adds a pop of color that brightens any mood.

Gorgeous outfit, Beth! I love the suede jacket and the way all the neutral colors look so beautiful together.
i’ve been a neutral kick lately, rebecca! i can see this suede jacket with white denim too. and i love brown and white together. hope the weather heats up for you soon!

Nice to see all the blooms and signs of spring. Our trees and flowers are finally bursting forth, too. I love the color of the jacket–great season-spanner. I always remember, this time of year, why I planted so many perennials–helps with color just when we need it! Happy Hump Day!
nothing like the south come spring!
