Happy Tuesday! How has your day been so far?

I enjoy wearing this outfit because I love a good layered look as you probably know by now. Blazers are probably the best way to layer because they are extremely versatile. I love my blazer because it adds a little bit more interest to the outfit because of its polka dot pattern. It could also be considered bold.

I always used to think that an outfit had to be an explosion of color. For instance: I wore an outfit one day that consisted of bright turquoise pants, an almost neon yellow top, and a hot pink cardigan. Not that that outfit was ugly, just that it could have been worn with a little bit less color. I can imagine that I looked like a walking Easter egg. :)

I now know that patterns and textures can make an outfit more interesting as well as colors. Like this outfit only has one color: the purple statement necklace. But it is not boring. The polka dot pattern, the texture and pockets of the chambray, and the contrast of the black boots against the bright white of the jeans makes this outfit interesting in addition to the purple statement necklace.

What is your favorite element of this outfit? Would you try a bold piece like a patterned blazer?
