Love them all! 7 is just gorgeous though, I think it's the pop of fuschia from your shoes and I love how you tied your scarf. FAB! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918807 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:09:55 +0000 Ingunn 918807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a treat to get the collages in addition to your classic, clean-cut and inspiring outfits, Ornella. I have a hard time picking favorites. The coherence is remarkable, and your scarves sublime! I do like #5 and #6 in particular, though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918723 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:00:00 +0000 Peri 918723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the butterfly scarf. I want it to be mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918637 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:34:40 +0000 Carole 918637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love scarves, too! Such a springboard for being creative and utilizing your wardrobe. The building blocks photos are so much fun and look like they could be framed and hung on the wall of your new house! Each outfit is great, Ornella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918540 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:31:49 +0000 Suz 918540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such terrific outfits! I especially love the one you wore to meet the teacher. I also love the beautiful montage and the colour palettes. You are an inspiration. Simple and practical at its crisp and classic best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918534 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:22:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 918534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have really made scarves a signature of your style Ornella - and with such flair! I particularly love the last outfit - so chic. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918529 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:15:36 +0000 lucyt90 918529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #4, very Spring and in line with the floral trend at the moment :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918527 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:13:36 +0000 Janet 918527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great scarves! You look wonderful as always, so it would be hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'd have to go with #3. You do casual classic so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918522 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:09:11 +0000 Ornella 918522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you shevia. I felt very&nbsp;appropriately&nbsp;dressed to meet the&nbsp;head teacher. From what I could gather so far,&nbsp;the whole school has very colorful, creative vibe, so while I wanted to show I had put thought in my outfit in terms of respecting the institution, I also wanted some playfulness, hence the scarf knot and the shoes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918510 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:55:11 +0000 Jaime 918510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The colors you wear are so beautiful on you! I love the denim/denim outfit, and all the shades of berry on you - perfect outfit to meet the headteacher too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918507 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:53:11 +0000 Ornella 918507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much&nbsp;Joy, I will keep blue in mind. I do love both colors, you are spot on. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918499 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:35:47 +0000 Anonymous 918499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at scarves and each outfit was a treat. Ornella, you need to wear more of that bright blue of your dotted scarf and the cardigan in the 5th outfit. It looks amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918493 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:30:28 +0000 Ornella 918493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Nancylee, and thanks for the photo. This is actually how my Monday scarf had been tied.<br />&nbsp;<br />I love this knot <br />and wear it a lot&nbsp;<br />(ETA: and no, this rhyme intentional is not) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918491 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:20:58 +0000 nancylee 918491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Scarves are a great transitional item for that little bit of needed warmth, aren't they? &nbsp;I've found myself wearing mine often over the past few (cool) weeks.<br /><br />You look lovely in every photo, Ornelia...and I love the photo montage! &nbsp;Such happy colors. &nbsp;As for tying variations, I found this one on Pinterest.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918483 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:55:58 +0000 Ornella 918483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just for fun, here are the building blocks of each outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-playing-with-my-scarves#post-918482 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:52:53 +0000 Ornella 918482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF,</p> <p>Before I begin, let me just say&nbsp;<i><b>thank you</b></i> for being my happy place. To know I can come here at any time and the joys of all sorts are guaranteed is priceless.&nbsp;</p> <p>This week has seen us transitioning from boots to sandals. Literally. It's a happy turn of events in any case, but one can feel caught a bit off-guard as it all still seems too sudden and wardrobe may seem unsuitable. On top of simply being fun, I find that the scarves are perfect way to address some of the transitional climate issues (cold mornings, hot days, cool afternoons) and I decided to dedicate this week to playing with them. And I also gave my lovely new apple green&nbsp;scarf a break as it's seen a lot of action <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-week-of-apple-green-scarf">the week before</a></b>.</p> <p>I've had a busy week running all sorts of errands related to the house build, hosting a friend, visiting my son's future school and just regular stuff, so my outfits vary a lot depending on the overall context and&nbsp;circumstances.</p> <ol> <li><b>Monday</b> - Sightseeing on a cool day, the outfit has been built around the combination of the scarf and jacket.</li> <li><b>Tuesday</b> daytime - Sightseeing again, I wore the new neckerchief scarf I bought the day before, the next item I chose was the white button-down (when stuck for ideas, this is the perfect fall-back item), followed by the jacket that was unworn for a while.</li> <li><b>Tuesday</b> <b>afternoon</b> - Taking the kid to the playground, I tried denim on denim keeping the same scarf on, just tied differently. This outfit had been posted in <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-denim-on-denim---inspired-by-anna">separate thread</a>,</b> I have been surprised how much&nbsp;liked the whole idea of denim-on-denim and plan to try it out more in the future. ETA: How great that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/26/ensemble-denim-on-denim-with-flair">today's blog post</a> is about denim on denim &lt;3 I&nbsp;cheekily&nbsp;submit this outfit as an attempt on the formula, with the scarf standing in for the statement&nbsp;necklace.</li> <li><b>Wednesday</b> - Long meeting with the building company to discuss the house building plans. There was no need to be too formal as we know everyone already and I also cycled to town, but I added chunky pearly beads necklace to add a bit of interest in case I needed to remove the butterfly scarf. Note to self: I knew it already, but bootleg jeans are so impractical for cycling.</li> <li><b>Thursday</b> - Running errands in town, another small neckerchief tied around the neck, my mum's silk shell blouse and drapery cardigan. It's interesting how I'm totally blase about this cardigan in winter months, but the sunshine outside makes me reach for it as the color seems to come alive on sunny days.</li> <li><b>Friday</b> - I had to meet the headteacher in the school my son will start from September and although I know the lady herself has casual and elegant style herself, I wanted to err on the more conservative side, so I wore black jacket over white button down, but with very casual jeans and silk scarf tied as men's tie, with pink shoes. I had to cycle to school as well, so this was comfortable, but felt pulled together for the quick appointment.</li> <li><b>ETA: Friday afternoon</b> - Talk about being proactive.&nbsp;I have to add and run after this outfit, but we're meeting some friends after work today and I was inspired by several the blog posts from the past few&nbsp;week&nbsp;only!! (excuse the overexcitement) So, here we go: denim on denim (top and bottom), mixing metals (buttons and belt buckle), white... will add reference links later. There is of course such classic&nbsp;as&nbsp;matchy-matchy (necklace and shoes). Whether it works or not, it's leaving the building and happiness factor is 10/10. No scarves in this one, so the outfit is a blind passenger on this thread,&nbsp;but today's blog post says 4)&nbsp;Wear a bib necklace and 5) Wear girly shoes, and that's all the excuse I need to cram it in. :D</li> </ol> <p>And that's it. Thanks for reading, I always appreciate constructive feedback and I am happy to put your suggestions in practice.</p>
