This is today's WIW, in the spirit of reactivating my style muscles.

What do you think? With or without the scarf?

Oh, great outfit! I thought I would say with the scarf (my “natural” reaction :-), but actually I vote without here. The jacket is gorgeous and looks great as is. Maybe a necklace with a smaller pendant?

Madly trying to lighten my screen, but I vote without. Great jeans.

I vote without. Maybe a necklace but I like the simplicity of the jacket solo.

Thanks ladies! Going without.

Sal and Katerina: I do wish I had brought a shorter necklace on this trip! Next time.

Your style muscles are still taut! You look killer. And I prefer sans scarf so we are on the same page!

Fantastic - love the jeans and jacket, and applause for your approach to keep it minimalist.

I am flipping between pictures and can’t really decide, like both the same. And you look great as always, your style muscles seem to know what they are doing:)

Honestly, I like it equally both ways. Just a different vibe with. Those jeans are fab.

I prefer it with the scarf because the scarf highlights your beautiful face. FAB look.

I, too, prefer the scarf look. On my screen the scarf looks black & white, but I think the outfit would look even better if blue (and perhaps also olive) was included in the scarf colours.

Choosing without, but I would like a scarf styled differently, in this version the knot is too redundant with the knotted belt.

Yes! I know that sounds super picky!

Isabel, that's so interesting. I will play around with tying it differently.

I also really love that the votes are split - more options for me!

With! It’s chic in a slight Little Prince French way!

My vote is with, too, but both ways works beautifully. That jacket is super cool, and so is the outfit. You are as stylish as ever, Vivian.

I like it both ways but vote for "with." You look terrific! Interesting pants and top.

Fantastic outfit, Viva. Really interesting pieces. I would leave the scarf off but it looks lovely both ways.

I like how the scarf throws light toward your face, but would probably wear it without - in any case, great outfit, YLF!

Without. I prefer it simple and seeing your nice neck.

like it both ways....love these jeans, dressy but not.....
do you layer under the jacket? if you do, would you consider a bright color? i'm imagining that it would only be visable from certain angles and just for a glimpse, but it would add a look of something different and push the style muscles....

KKards, that is a great idea about layering underneath, and since I do love a good crewneck it will work beautifully. Yesterday I just had a scoop neck tank under, and it didn't really show. But I love the idea of layering, even a stripe. Thank you!

I can't be.lieve I'm saying this, but without the scarf, as shown anyway. The first outfit looks more natural. The scarf looks a bit forced. It does not look like you need a scarf to fill in the neckline like I would

Joy, that's something I almost always feel with a little scarf: forced. I really love the look, but it's a very very deliberate accessory, isn't it? It's a challenge.
