White House Black Market from last season.

It's all about having the right basic pieces in your wardrobe ...

Besides being great right now, it will be a gorgeous look for holiday events coming soon.

I really try to remember that no piece of style advice is "one size fits all" and the details need to be personalized. Thanks for appreciating that.

It's amazing how much ROI we can get from basic, solid-color pieces, isn't it?

That's so lovely to hear 1 Thanks.

So glad you found it helpful. Just be sure you're basing oufits on scarves that are in you personal best colors.

I'm gussing that your denm dress has a button front and collar, so the "necklace" tie would be ideal.

So glad you find them valuable - thanks!

Thanks for taking a minute to comment - it's good to know you found the info helpful.

Check out this clever way to make an oversized scarf into a kimono - a perfect hot weather topper for jeans and a tee - and still be able to wear it as a scarf later: www.nancynixrice.com/instant-kimono-heres-how/

Have a great one!

That's a great topicfor another video - thanks!

​@@nancynix-rice5550 yes please. I'm a fellow scarf-aholic and struggle with my collection. If I don't see them, I might forget what I have- and if I keep them "visible", it looks a mess. The logical solution would be to cut back and significantly reduce the number of scarves; but I love them so! 🤷

As log as thy are good colors for you I'd keep them for sure. I often mention th age of scarves that I use in my videos and some go back as much as 50 years - no lie!

The skirt is the Pamelas Patterns Magic Pencil Skirt pattern in our ST Ponte fabric, color: Chocolate. The top was a super-clearance item from Ann Taylor a while back. That teal is so flattering on nearly everybody, so of course I grabbed it. It would be easy enough to sew something similar.

That's the beauty of this Formula concept - to push us past our usual ways of combining things and, in effect, see our wardrobes with new eyes. We may try some pairings that we end up not liking so well, but we have nothing to lose from experimenting, right? And who knows what treasures we may find in the process!

So lovely to hear that Kim. Comments like yours are the reason that when many of my contemporaries are retiring and heading for the beach, I am instead ramping up my social media presence and buillding my business so I can help even more women feel as confident as you do!

​@@nancynix-rice5550 while I wouldn't begrudge you the beach time, I hope you'll stay around for a good, long time yet! 🥰
