Okay, so it's not a pony, but where would we put one? It's a scarf!
A red polka dot one, to be precise! Thank you so much, Jane, I love it! It's very "me".I wanted to wear it a little differently (not in a big bunch around my neck) for its inaugural presentation, so I crossed it in front of my neck and tied it at the small of my back to make it like a top.
Then I put this new hair barrette on it to pull it in:
I can't wear barrettes - my hair is too fine and slippery, and anything heavier than a bobby pin falls out. But I couldn't resist this little sparkly beauty at Club Monaco ($9, clearance). In honour of the Major Prize, I wore my rosette (last worn here):
Since the back of the jacket dips down and has that nice little peplum back, the rosette worked great there (and the ties from the scarf help pouf it a big more). If you're going to do a poufy peplum, you may as well go Major, right?

I'm looking forward to wearing this scarf on a more casual day.

lovely scarf.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see your prize! You look lovely as always, but that rosette is AWESOME! My hair is also too fine for most barettes -- it's a weird combination of thick and fine and frizzy. Oh well. Next time around maybe I'll have kickass huge hair :) Anyway, I was wondering, is that your natural hair color? Because I never noticed how red it was before...very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful blazer! I'll have to try some of your off-head barrette applications.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea for the hair pin! congrats on the scarf, it's really pretty and makes a fun addition to your closet! =]
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like the scarf - it looks great the way uou have worn it and what a wonderful idea for the corsage.
ReplyDeleteThe small-of-the-back flower pin is inspired!
ReplyDeleteWow, such creative scarf styling -- fabulous! I love the polka dots with the houndstooth pattern, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alison, yes, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sak.
Julia, isn't it cool? The rosette is so bizarre - it's so large. Oh, gosh, no, my natural hair colour is brown. I've been dyeing it red for years (I do it myself). Thanks!
Thanks, Jane!
Megan, thanks! I felt very clever.
Thanks, Jane - I am so touched by it, thank you. :)
Sal, thanks! I stole the idea from Kasmira.
Audi, thanks! I am enjoying trying to shake it up a bit.
Oooooh, so pretty! Love the way you styled the scarf; I am going to have to try that trick myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristen! Please do.
