December 26, 2013

Another one of those unexpected, but really eye-catching, uses of accessories to breathe life into dark outerwear, on dark days.

Chic Sightings: Beige Cardigan, 6 different outfits

September 27, 2013

Now that we can occasionally pull out our sweaters in Chicago, I've noticed that a LOT of women are wearing a simple beige wrap cardigan in all sorts of lovely ways:

Chic Sightings: Purple and Navy

September 25, 2013

A variety of shades of purple, but all of them using navy as their neutral, from the most simple choices of navy pumps with a purple dress, to a very dressy silk blouse and velvet skirt ensemble.

Chic Sightings: Turquoise and Navy

September 5, 2013

This first outfit is what got me looking for turquoise - the pieces are all really simple, but the color combination was striking, and the proportion of the long tee shirt, the cropped cardigan, and the modestly longer shorts was both pretty and unique.  Once I started to focus on looking for turquoise with navy, I saw it quite a few times!

And as I've noticed before, when you started to actually collect clothes in these colors, it becomes an effortless capsule or travel wardrobe!

Chic Sightings: Grey and Teal/Petrol blue

September 3, 2013

 

 As before, I find it striking that if you commit yourself to a favorite color, and carefully assemble a few outfits to reflect this preference, you then have  - almost without trying - assembled a travel capsule wardrobe.  Yes, there are a lot of shoes here, but they're mostly rather flat, and would pack easily.  Three scarves, three pieces of jewelry, and you have dozens of options!

Chic Sightings: Grey and Yellow

August 27, 2013

I saw a couple of these outfits late last winter, and then didn't see the color combination again until this week, where I spotted it a handful of times.  This is a great look to collect if yellow flatters you...

What a fun capsule travel wardrobe this could be!

Chic Sightings: Grey and Peach

August 21, 2013

I've left the grey garments the same as the ones that I used with shades of green last week, in order to really emphasize the degree to which these outfits shift in their mood and appearance based on the accent color used.  Here again, we see a successful pairing of warm and cool colors!

And I noticed as I was pulling together these various looks - all of these garments, taken together, make a very lovely and rather versatile capsule wardrobe.  Yet another compelling reason to decide once and for all what your favorite "signature" motif or theme might be, and build upon it!

Chic Sightings: Grey and Green

August 13, 2013   Not a color combination I would have thought of, but I've seen it a lot recently, and it's been beautiful!  There's a LOT of grey on the streets of Chicago these days...

Chic Sightings: Red Shoes (and Belts)

August 8, 2013

 One very striking dress, and one utterly simple and classic dress:

A great printed tee shirt with exquisitely well-matched shorts, and very fun zippy red moccasins. And a shirt covered with tiny red hearts, accented with red leather accessories, and white capris.

All shirts have sleeves rolled up, this time of year...

love,
