This is a pretty basic outfit: thrifted white linen tunic and Old Navy denim pencil skirt. The addition of a bold scarf-as-belt makes a world of difference. Now there’s a colorful focal point and the rest of the outfit can step back.
The nude platforms by Anne Klein (similar) go with, well, everything, and my red toes pop out nicely. I’m dressed for work in five minutes, woo-hoo! Hoping the rest of the day goes as smoothly, for all of us!
Have a splendid day and stay fabulous,

Love this look – especially the shoes!!!! I can't find them anywhere.
What a great idea to add that pop of color in the form of a scarf belt. Love it.

Love the scarf! It adds just a hint of pirate swagger without looking like a costume.
Oh… must remember this. Such an easy throw on, but yet such an impact. Nice and crisp. Now all I have to do is find a white shirt that fits my bosom….
You look great.

A rather swashbuckling look with the scarf tied like that, Patti! I like it. Loving the snakeskin wedges, too! x
I like the idea of having only one colorful or busy piece against a background of neutrals. That scarf is really beautiful, by the way. I love the color scheme.
Hi Patti!
I hope you did have a fabulous day!
I love the scarf idea, very pretty
Hugs

a completely smooth day! xo
it's a big rectangle.
You look adorable! Curious, what shape is the scarf? Square or rectangle?

The beautiful scarf brings fabulous colour and pzazz to the neutral outfit, Patti, what a clever idea! You look just lovely. xxx
Simplicity is the most reliable go to look, you look very chic and elegant! The scarf works magic!
Lovely colours, what a versatile outfit
I might also have to copy this look! Absolutely love how you used a scarf to turn two basics into a classy and stylish summer ensemble. So, how did the rest of the day turn out? Hopefully as smooth as you wished for.
Wonderful use of a big scarf as a belt accent! You look cool as a cucumber, Patti!
This is PERFECTION! I love it!! And all of us can wear some iteration of this! Hugs! Serene
Lovely! I do like the scarf as a belt which drapes nicely and adds movement to your pencil skirt when you walk 🙂
