That's my new skirt that I got last weekend. It's that nice faux suede; washable, light and comfortable. I used to have a long-ish skirt in this colour but gave it to Elaine...and wouldn't you know, she was wearing it today! With a purple patterned top! Too funny.The scarf is one of my treasures. I liberated it from...my dad, back in about 1985-86. I used to wear it in my hair or tied at my neck (either draped or doubled around again so it made sort of a collar). Dad was in a dance band back in the 60s and they all wore matching outfits (hee), and this was part of his "uniform".
A close-up:
It's so soft and pretty. I love all the colours in it - it goes with anything. My dad died over 11 years ago, and I always feel close to him when I wear something of his. *smile*Forgive the hair - I forgot my mousse today, ha!
Blazer (Jacob), cami (not visible, InWear), skirt (Marc D'Alcy), boots (Roberto Vianni), scarf (Dad's, vintage), big gold hoop earrings.
I love the shape of the jacket and what an amazing scarf and a wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - I would love the pink jacket!
Jane, drop me your email in a comment, so I can get your address. I won't publish the comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love my dad's scarf.
That scarf is GORGEOUS -- and all the more special because of what it means to you. It really sets that outfit off perfectly. I love the skirt...the color, the shape, the length and especially how it looks w/the jacket (I can kinda imagine the shade of purple you described).
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit (as usual!!)
LOVE the scarf. So unique.
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog. I am so excited about this whole thing! Oh, I LOVE that blazer! You could also wear it with a nice pair of black jeans and a knee boot. It's too rich and vibrant to not get more wear!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely scarf,and a very sweet story! I gave you the butterfly award on my blog sorry it toom me so long to tell you about it B-D
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! Nice to see you, Londyn.
ReplyDeleteKayleigh - I will do a better picture of the colour of the jacket next time I wear it.
HoneyChild - I have done the blazer with boot-cut jeans (and boots), but ages ago. I know, the whole blogging thing is a lot of fun, isn't it?
Lady D - thank you, I did see that. You're so sweet.
That scarf is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing when I wear things that have belonged to close family members, especially my grandfather and grandmother who have passed on.
