Life Lessons From Jess - sometimes your outfit is asking for a scarf. 
This particular ensemble was getting a little too match-matchy, so I figured the scarf would kick up the unexpected notch a bit. Verdict? I love it. 

Also, someone mentioned that they had a hard time dressing up their gingham top for work, so I wore mine 2 times last week to prove how versatile this wardrobe classic can be. Stay tuned for outfit #2 later this week!
What do you add to your outfits when they are feeling a little too predictable?

  7. GREAT color combo and accessorizing! Seems like my accessories are always an afterthought when I'm rushing out the door, but my go-to for when my outfit seems boring is some weird flea market earrings or a necklace. You look great, girl!
