A scarf without a lot of color in it can be a challenge, but I think of scarves as silk jewelry. As such, this scarf, for me, became something made of silken pearls, and a of a burnished, brushed pewter that just happened to be fiber rather than metal. When taken in that sense, this scarf goes anywhere that “cool” toned jewelry would go. It was lovely to study…

May 9, 2012 at 5:48 pmP.S. Is this a scarf you own?
Janice says
May 9, 2012 at 5:55 pmNope – one of my dearest readers owns it, and sent me a photograph of it. I loved being asked to suggest some outfits based on this beauty!

May 9, 2012 at 6:40 pmThis is a beautiful presentation and very inspiring. I have many similar items in my wardrobe but never considered putting them together so artfully. I've been following your blog for about a month now and reading as much of the older posts as time has allowed. The advice and examples you give are just great. Thanks.
Carol.

I have a few items that are similar to these and you've made me see this through "new eyes" you are indeed very clever!
Thank you so much!

May 10, 2012 at 12:59 amThis set of outfits with the scarf is such beautiful work. I will be studying it in even greater detail than usual. For all that each set looks "simply" perfect, I can tell it took a sophisticated eye to put together.
This is the one Hermes scarf that actually tempts me to buy an Hermes. And wear it. Wow. Thank you!

May 10, 2012 at 1:50 amLovely — may I ask what the name of this Hermes design is? Thanks!
Janice says
May 10, 2012 at 4:29 pmit's actually called Peinture Fraiche – French for "fresh paint". If you look closely at the design, you can see that it appears to be freshly painted onto the fabric.
thanks for being here!

May 10, 2012 at 9:28 amSublime combinations! This post is the holy grail of capsules, Janice. (I silently translate everything away from a Hermes big silk square, though, to a long, oblong scarf in pearly-pewter shades which would slenderize those persons– I speak for myself– who need as many optical illusions as they can get).

May 10, 2012 at 12:08 pmVery nice. Perhaps you could show some of your scarf tying options in the future…
