Two weeks ago, I shared this cheerful pink sweater in my road tripping post…the road trip which I embark on today! By the time you are reading this, I will likely already be on the road en route from northern New York to the mountains of western North Carolina. A round trip of over 1,800 miles that I will traverse today and tomorrow, arriving at my destination in Tuckasegee, North Carolina, some time tomorrow evening.

In that previous post, I had mentioned that this cozy turtleneck sweater would be making the trip with me. In fact, I am wearing the same road trip outfit that I said I would except I switched out my long rainbow confetti scarf for this pink and blue star and stripes scarf. I prefer the larger blanket style scarf for traveling because it has the dual purpose of also acting as a small blanket.

I hadn’t intended to restyle this sweater so soon but I was getting dressed the other day and I needed warm, cozy, and cheerful which led me to reach for this sweater yet again. This time, however, it was lying in the clean laundry pile with these navy striped pants that I just wore for my Norman Rockwell Style Imitating Art outfit. I loved the bright pink against the darker navy and an outfit remix was born.

These loose fitting trousers are that comfortable pajama style that has made a comeback recently. I am a fan and always have been considering these pants are probably close to a decade old by now. I added lots of pink and blue accessories from my ankle boots to my beret which I adorned with a shiny pink brooch. I bought these adorable kitten gloves in the fall because they were simply too cute to resist. They worked perfectly with this whimsical winter outfit, too.

When it came time for choosing a coordinating coat, I reached for an old favorite in navy with a tiny magenta pattern. I love the classic style of a belted wool overcoat in a not so classic print or color. I bought this coat on Target clearance many years ago and it still stands the test of time. It also provided the perfect final pattern to a 5-print mix in one outfit. I always like to challenge myself to see how many prints I can combine into one outfit and remain sartorially coherent.

You may be wondering what are those 5 prints since there are really only 3 apparent patterns…the stripes on my pants, the print on my coat, and the pattern on my scarf. But the cat graphic on my gloves also counts as does the monochromatic cable knit of my sweater. For that matter, I could probably include the cable knit of my beret as well…but I’ll call cable knit just 1 of the 5 patterns and I’ll strive for 6 prints the next time I feel inspired.

I am going to leave off here and finish up the tedious business of packing! I may go missing until next week, but do not be alarmed. I will return once my travels are complete. Happy Tuesday to y’all!
