I titled this post Crestfallen, but in reality it was a pretty good day when I wore this outfit. I started off with some window drooling shopping along Madison Avenue, swung by Ladurée for those delicious macarons I wrote about yesterday, and finally headed uptown for dinner in Harlem at Red Rooster (they’re mac & greens dish is heavenly!).

Last week, the temps surpassed 60 degrees… in January… in New York City!

I’m just going to let the gravity of that fact sink in with you while I describe today’s outfit.  I originally didn’t think I’d get to don this playfully spotted frock until spring, but I took advantage of the winter “heat wave” to take it out for a spin.  A nubby little mohair sweater plus bright red shoes and matching lips were just the right finishing touches to help put some extra pep in my step!

Last Thursday’s outfit left me wanting to play with more jewel tones, so I nabbed this beautiful scarf and decided to build an entire outfit around it.  Scarves are a great way to jazz up an otherwise standard ensemble, and I especially love how they can inspire unexpected color combinations.  For instance, I’ve had this sweater and this skirt for quite some time but never thought to pair them together before.  You can rest assured that I’ll be digging through my scarf drawer over the coming weeks to see what other combinations I can come up with.

In the mean time, I’ll leave you with two lovely links that will hopefully inspire your own scarving adventures:
