It Works!

Hello, Pres:
Here's what I did today to give some life to staple pieces in my wardrobe: I started with my pair of trousers,which are a tiny, tiny b/w houndstooth, and a white silk knit cardigan and shell.
I have a pair of black patent wedge closed toe shoes or a pair of red, peep-toe, high heeled sandals in a croc leather.
I bought a chunky black quartz bead necklace to wear when I wear the red shoes and a red coral multi-strand necklace with a red and gold pendant for when I wear the black shoes.
Previously, I would have matched the necklace to the shoes, but the other way looks so much fresher.
THEN, I added a straw bag that I usually use only on vacation. It's straight lines, very crisp, and has black leather cord straps with a few wooden beads. I really liked it with both combos.
... Thought I would support the premise!

Hello Caron,
I especially like the straw bag ("The bag stands alone.") Congratulations on the perfect outfits!
