Seems I can't stop with the scarves

Lavinia

It seems I have a obsession with scarves lately. I feel like every outfit needs a scarf so I can feel like "me". Crazy!

#1 - skinny cargos with classic black blazer and floral silk scarf
This outfit felt really good because it had the right balance of edgy (skinny cargos) and polished (blazer and scarf). I really felt great in it.

#2 attempt to wear same scarf as in #1 like a top. It looked good in the morning but I think it shifted somewhat during the day and didn't feel as fab in the afternoon.

#3 my new shooties! They have that perfect amount of edge to tone down dresses, skirts etc. Yay!

Thanks for looking and happy weekend

Hi Lavinia, I like the way you tied the scarf in pic 1, and the outfit in general.
Very versatile sandalooties with the two colours. FAB!

#2 scarf is so pretty! I love how you tied it really open so you can see the pretty flowers.

You had me at scarf. Nothing crazy about wearing them at all. The only thing stopping me right now is the heat. But I still keep one in my purse to counter excessive air conditioning when out and about.

Very nice outfits!

I love scarves also and feel that they really take an outfit up a notch. The colors in your scarf look beautiful against the neutral top. Maybe it's easier to wear the scarf as a top if it's made of stiffer material, i.e. not too "floaty".

And love your shooties!

This is a great outfit! Scarves like you back.

I forgot to say, I do like the idea of wearing the scarf/halter top over another top. I am filing that away for future reference.

Hi Lavinia,

You'd make a great Parisian!! We can't live without scarves either. In fact, now that smoking Gaulloises is very un-PC, and we're all watching our weight (which means less baguette and fewer croissants), and berets always were a bit of a myth, I think scarves have probably become synonymous with French style: we use them in every season to add that vital 'pop of colour' to our very neutral palette for the basics.

You probably don't need help, judging from your piccies, but you might find this resource fun for imaginative ways to tie a scarf à la francaise: http://www.maitaispicturebook.com

Sorry for the late reply girls! It's been a crazy week. I just wanted to thank you for the friendly comments.
@La Francaise: thanks for the link! I have browsed through MaiTai's blog before and found some interesting scarf tying techniques there, maybe I'll find something new that will pique my interest this time around
