"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", you express it here. This charming, elegantly knotted scarf does it all. Good for you to have given your BF a second chance! And I absolutely love your choice of footwear with it. Grand! Makes you look tall too.
I understand why the slouchy BF might take the back seat these days, as elements demand a sturdier, heavier footwear. If you are petite, it is hard to pair slouch with the slouch/heavy boots our winter requires. Then once inside, finer footwear is in the order. The slouch BF looks good in warmer climate/weather, when one can wear them with ankle boots, military boots, or flat shoes and no socks.
I am curious, do you wear your Doc Marcies outside in this lovely outfit?
