Okay, maybe it's more like a jungle here than actual spring flowers, but it does set off a spring outfit nicely, no?  I'm back to getting reaquainted with my favorite basics for spring: olive utility jacket, flouncy cream cotton peplum top, cute (but comfy) sandals, and a neck scarf (as a nod to the trend, as well as a nod to the classic).  

To be honest, I felt like I didn't even really need the neck scarf added to the outfit, especially since this top has a pretty edging on the neckline, but I wanted to do something to make this outfit feel like spring 2017, not like a repeat of spring/summer 2016.  Because of the scarf, though, I kept the accessories to a minimum.  If I wanted to do a statement earring (seeming to be a hot trend for 2017 after the years of statement necklaces), I'd take off the scarf.
