Reader's style challenge - spring capsule wardrobe variations

Congratulations on your beautiful new scarf, dear ilsa, and many thanks for the challenge! The CW you chose is amazingly versatile, as it consists of many different colors... warm yellow and orange, rose, pink, sky blue, ecru and beige, in addition to strong and cool fuchsia and turquoise tones, and warm browns and reds.

This gives many options, especially since the colors are in the warm and cool spectrum (a good source for finding tops in the exact right shade is Kettlewell Colours, where many of the colored capsule pieces featured below are from). My suggestions are of course limited to my own wardrobe, but I hope they give an idea on the many different ways to go.

#1 picking on the warm pastels

 

#2 - bringing out the warm yellow and mustard shades

#3 - creating a neutral base. The scarf is 'tied in' by a pop of color from the bracelet and shoes

#4 - picking up on the turquoise and teal details, and teaming with summery and fresh accents

#5 - similar to 3, only focusing on the scarf's blue/grey/white elements as the neutral base

#6 - Black, pink and ecru
