My Power Combo: Skinny Jeans + Loafers + Scarf

I would have to say that pieces I put to the most use in my daily outfits is the combination of jeans, loafers, and a scarf.  It is what I am most comfortable in and I have a large collection of scarves to choose from.
I just ordered a few more from ebay and most were under $2.  Wow, what a bargain!  I can't wait till they arrive!  I have plans to wear a couple of them with an all black based outfit.  The scarves will add the color. 
I'll show you my purchases when they arrive. :) 

The scarf I have on here gets worn a lot.  Because it has so many pretty colors it works well with many pieces in my wardrobe giving me a variety of outfits from a single scarf.

Add Color With A Cardigan

Many times I will opt for a totally neutral and sometimes monochromatic look.  But other times I like to add just a bit of color to a neutral outfit by using scarves, a draped cardigan (like here) or even a pretty shade of lipstick.

Over The Shoulder Draped Cardigan

I had actually never worn my cardigans in this way until recently.  I really like it! It gives the outfit added color and interest, is a great layering piece, and is available if I get chilly.
I imagine I'll be wearing my cardigans this way a lot in the future. :)

Fringed and Flared

 I thrifted these slightly flared jeans to try the popular fringed look.  I cut them off and gave them just a tiny bit of fringe.  I didn't want this pair to look sloppy so I only fringed a little bit and used a dark denim.  I may do another pair sometime in a more casual lighter wash and not cut them off quite so short.  I'm not sure yet if I'm fond enough of the trend.  I probably just prefer to roll up my skinnier fit jeans....but it was fun to try on an inexpensive thrift pair.
