Light Wash Blue With Khaki

I could see myself just having an assortment of tees and layering them under jackets and cardigans for a year round daily uniform.  They are becoming my number one wardrobe staple.  They can be worn with a simple necklace, dressed up with some bling, or add a pretty scarf for a whole new look.

 I found this dusty blue floral scarf recently and decided to add it to my large collection.  It was only $1.39, so that's a very inexpensive way to complete and lend variety to my outfits.

Striped Sweater

I wore this nearly 2 weeks ago, but never got a chance to post it.  This is a nothing special sweater, but one I can see myself reaching for in hurry on a casual day.

Cardigan $5 Land's End

Purse $6.65 Nordstrom

New Waterfall Cardigan $1.29

Well, the cardigan was actually purchased nearly 3 months ago, but it's the first time I've worn it so I count it as new.  And only $1.29!!  What a deal!
I've said it before, but I love this style and lightweight fabric.
This cardigan has a color combination of peachy pink, lilac (or lavendar), and a really dark navy blue that nearly looks black.
I did a bit of pattern mixing by adding the striped melon colored tee.

Workday Outfit - Pink and White ... + Food & Weight Loss Journal

This is one of my favorite outfits.  I like the color, comfort, fit and it just feels like me.... so that feels good.  It covers my problem areas that I don't want accentuated.
I'm not sure if everyone else would agree this is the best look for me.  It's interesting to get other perspectives.  For example, hubby said it was nice, but not his favorite.  He also said he may not be the best judge of fashion though. haha  He did tell me the other day that he didn't think you should roll up a blazer sleeve to have the silky lining showing....so..... :)
I do appreciate his input and thoughts on how I look.  He is usually very complimentary and always sensitive to my feelings in regards to my appearance.
I'll still wear this outfit, regardless, and other outfits I have put together and planned that are of a similar style.  I feel it's one of my "go to" looks.
What are your thoughts?
