Sci-Fi Steampunk Scarf Challenge

First time testing out the self-timer on my phone instead of hauling my camera around all day. I obviously need to adjust my technique, but it was pretty convenient and cut down on purse clutter.

Finally got around to joining one of this week's YLF challenges - wore this tissue-weight silver scarf my mom gave me for Christmas with my steampunk jacket, silver python bag, and new Vic Matie boots. This outfit went out for lunch with an old co-worker and good friend, then to see Dr. Shrink, who I more grateful for each and every session.

Silver gauze scarf - gift from Mom
United Face steampunk jacket - Overstock.com
Current + Elliot jeans - inherited from BFF
Silver Nine West bag - flea market
Vic Matie boots - Yoox
Spy sunglasses - Ebay
Charcoal Abound pullover - The Rack

Great look, Rae, love the silver with the brown, and so glad that jacket has gotten an airing, it's too great to languish in your closet!

Oooh I love it Rae! You don't wear scarves much but this light gauzy style really works well for you IMO. We are almost twins today btw, just swap the top/pants for an eggplant sheath. /highfive to brown leathers Also, I looove that jacket. It is Awesome.

EDIT: Earthy colors but not earthy outfit, in action

Hehe, Angie, I had half-jokingly said to Vicki and Marley that I should try and sneak in a Seattle trip before resuming work.

(Free boarding at my house! Just saying ^^ )

Flights are cheap! You should all come over. This grungy city will like you

Love the Steampunk sci-fi elements. And I am glad dr. Shrink is going well.

Looks really great. Love the silvery scarf, and that jacket is awesome.

Well, I'm glad someone of my profession is useful. I hope he is kind to you.

I love your whole outfit, Rae - it's not really colours that I would use, but man, you make mixing earthy tones look so easy!

Jaime

Love the color combination! You look great!

Ahh, I love this. You look gorgeous (as usual!) Love the new boots too.

Day Vies

Love the silhouette and the palette. Beautiful!

You need wear that jacket more often -- looks great!

sarah

You look great, and you do have the most amazing collection of jackets.

I brought my silver scarf along today too! Though I never donned it. Glad to hear the shrink is a welcome appt. each week. Love the look!

amiable

Oh, I LOVE it! The scarf, the jacket, the combo - it's all great!

deb

Rae, you look darling and should consider the Seattle trip. "Other Mother' Love is the best!

CocoLion

This is kind of like what you wore when we met last month.

People -- Rae turns heads when she's dressed like this!

jayne

NO surprise to me that she turns heads. Love the use of the same color on top and bottom and the fun surprise element of the scarf. I should totally copy her, but then I would have to go shopping....dang

Deborah

Rae fab look. The tones are beautiful. Love those boots. We're you happy using your phone for pics? Is it an iPhone? Any tips:)

christieanne

I never would have thought browns and silver together but oh my gosh - it's great.

Thought of you at Target yesterday where I spotted a "galaxy" printed scarf. Remembered your love for all things galax-ed

Sarah A

I like the silver and brown -- feels fun and unexpected! Fit on everything is superb (a lesson I am trying to learn...).

Glad for you so many times over that Dr. Shrink is a goodie

Ooh, galaxy scarf at Target?? Off to investigate!

Diana

Love this! So happy to see the steampunk jacket out and about!

Tina.b

I'm so intrigued by your pairing of cognac and silver, it is awesome, so unexpected. And that jacket is just brilliant on you. Great outfit!!!

Suz

I love this colour combination! It feels so sophisticated. The jacket looks sensational on you, too.

How do you get your phone to stand up to take the pic? Do you have a little stand? I am still struggling with the darn tripod I got for xmas. Should be easy, right? Huh...not so much for me.
