Hydrangea Haze scarf – Ted Baker London
It’s easy for me to be sympathetic to those who fall for something from Ted Baker – the floral prints are SO GORGEOUS… I actually own both a scarf AND a cardigan in the same fabric (no, I would never wear them at the same time, but I would pack them in the same suitcase in a heartbeat!).
You didn’t hear it from me, but there’s a tee shirt in this fabric here. And bags…
The ground of this scarf is deep navy, and for today I’m using the soft grey flowers, and shades of pink, as the accent colors. There’s definitely potential to use blue and purple as accents, if that’s your preference.
Hydrangea Haze scarf – Ted Baker London
Trailing spouse, my comfortably shod foot…
She hates the term. Absolutely hates it. It makes her feel like some sort of an appendage, attached to the “important” member of their household.
Let’s be serious, their relocation couldn’t happen without her efforts!
So while the “real” member of their family is working all day, she’s hunting a place to live. And a bank. And a dry cleaner. And a grocery story. And a hardware store….
She only has a couple of days to get things done, and then, at the end of the day, she has a frazzled and nervous partner to calm down; starting a new position is always difficult. So she’s channeling pretty flowers, in small, subtle doses. A little romance might do wonders to put things into perspective!
Even the face of her watch is in a floral design… and the pattern of her pumps…
The plan is that she’s going back to their old home in just a couple of days, so she only needed to pack a few things – some for house-hunting, others for private dinners in the hotel room…
Everything’s going to be fine; they both know what’s important. They love each other, they want this move to work out well, and they’re partners forever…
love,
Janice

So I have to ask a question. I adore the scarfs you feature, but I don't know how to make them work. They seem contrived when I wear them. Is there a secret to learning how to wear scarfs with aplomb?

February 3, 2016 at 11:30 amBeautiful once again!!! I'd love to see your ideas for the blue and purple, in casual clothes. Imagine this – your feminine lady has found a home close to the elementary school where her grandchildren go, and wants to spend time with all those young minds and energy. She'll be watching them at recess, or reading with a little one snuggled close. And by the end of the school year, she's got a new identity – the Sunshine Award recipient for volunteering! Can you work your magic again, Janice? Thanks!!

February 3, 2016 at 2:58 pmTks, Janice – love the colours but actually prefer the Franco Ferrari scarf – pink and cashmere (not polyester) – wow!
Janice Riggs says
February 6, 2016 at 1:32 pmThat is an amazing scarf, and it comes in both square and rectangle (that Franco Ferrari doesn't miss a trick!). And despite appearances, the Ted Baker is indeed silk – I always thought that "shadow striped" scarves were polyester, but this is an exception.

February 3, 2016 at 6:50 pmI'm usually a plain Jane woman when it comes to scarves–I like solid colors with some texture. So I just ignore scarves like the Hermes scarves you use. But this scarf is beautiful and I love it 🙂

February 3, 2016 at 7:45 pmThis is just lovely! I would like to see some of the darker pink shades incorporated in the look.

February 4, 2016 at 8:17 amI love this. While I am a fan of red, it doesn't go with my skin tone. I can't complement with a red lip. Pink works better.
BTW, I usually read (and save) your posts in my email inbox, so I only now realize that you've added a Pin button. I love it–I find Pinterest so useful for organizing ideas. It has been a lifesaver in my big renovation of a 17th century apartment. I can just show the contractors what I mean.
