OOTD: Olive, Navy, Cognac - A New Wardrobe of Neutrals

Neutrals play heavily into my new fall/winter wardrobe scheme.  Neutrals such as olive, navy, black, gray, cognac, camel, taupe, tan, etc.

This cardigan is the first of my new oversized ones to make a repeat appearance as a favorite.  Others to come in the following weeks.  I plan on wearing them quite a lot over the next several months...changing out the accessories of jewelry and scarves to vary the look a bit.  I am trying to learn to fill my wardrobe with more basic neutral pieces, that can be mixed and matched, and then adding accessories to extend the outfit possibilities. 

I have recently donated bags and bags of clothing I've deemed are no longer the look and style I would like for myself...but there is still much work to be done in order to bring my closet(s) to the place I want it to be.  Of course, my problem is that I need to stop bringing new things home...which I've done a lot of lately.  However, I do feel very satisfied with my purchases and how they are bringing together my style vision...so I don't feel there is much more I need to add.  I would like a pair or two of cute booties though.  :)

Jewelry that I like is not often found on my thrifting trips, but I was very pleased to find these two pieces below (plus one other necklace) this past week.  They are in colors that will work perfectly with my new season of outfits.
