Heading out for my friend’s surprise birthday party, I realized I was wearing an entire outfit by Zara [minus my boots].  Zara’s basics, that come in almost every color, are the perfect essentials for fall layering and solids go a long way when the right colors are paired together.  On my most recent shopping trip to Georgetown, I saw this mustard knit scarf hanging amongst a collection of cozy wraps and scarves and it called out to me.  Mustard is a nice complement to classic navy and gray pieces and pops against bright colors, like a red blouse.

I can’t wait to cozy up in more knit layers: I think the city streets will see me in many over-sized sweaters and chunky scarves this season!
