Building a Capsule Wardrobe by Starting with a shawl: Hermès l’Art du Temari

It might seem “out of season” to be thinking about a shawl, but it’s well worth planning ahead in order to be prepared to wear this beauty.  Fifty-five inches square, and an almost sheer blend of cashmere and silk, these shawls can be worn as a light layer in even the warmest weather – never forget the blast of air conditioning in every restaurant this time of year.  Or use it to cover up during a long car trip…

    Hey, that's my shawl! Thank you so much for doing these stylings. Why did I not even consider wearing it with jeans?
    Blue suede boots -yes!

    I'm really liking the color pairings here, epecially the last one's with those taupe colors. I always notice taupe booties but never knew what to pair them with besides winter white.

    You might tie the shawl like a scarf, if you go for shopping with friends. This way can add warm to the neck and also have more changes. With a glossing silk shirt, you can tie a shawl like a belt. The tassels add class and maturity.
