As the temperatures drop, my wardrobe tends to get more neutral, but this year I’m aiming to add a little more color in my Fall and Winter outfits. I love jewel tones and think they are great for colder weather. I especially gravitate towards blues, deep teal, emerald green, and wine colors. When I saw the royal blue clutch at Marshall’s (in the outfit below), it was just the inspiration I needed! Royal blue is one of my favorite colors to wear, and for only $17, I had to have it!
When it comes to adding bright colors to an outfit, I tend to do so minimally. A pop of color here and there can make an outfit! Adding color with a clutch, another accessory, or just one or two pieces is key.
I’ve shown a pop of color in the clutch and the blue earrings paired with a relatively neutral, very pale Carolina blue blouse, jeans, and nude pumps. Right now the blouse is less than $20 from Asos! It comes in off white and dark teal, too. I will probably wear this with ankle boots to be more casual, and a leather jacket or blazer when it’s cool. It is October and still 80 degrees, so for now, short sleeves will do!
Here are some other outfits I found on Pinterest with jewel tone pops, who pulled it off very well, along with my outfit and the sources below, if available.

I wore almost this exact outfit last night out for a girls night yesterday. I was already late to dinner, but first #letmetakeaselfie (which is not my greatest skill!).
Thank you all for reading! Happy Thursday!
Have to have that top right this minute! What size are you wearing?
Isn’t it great?! Mine is a size 2. I’m 5’5″ and typically wear a S or XS in tops.
Your hair and that outfit look great! And I love #5 up top in the collage.
