Silk Scarf Vibes

While I'm not a 'stay in pajamas all day' kind of gal, I do like to be comfortable but in my own way, one that's still polished and put together.

These pants have the beauty of a silk scarf and the comfort of lounge wear. The silk fabric, paisley print and contrasting pop of yellow piping paired with a draw string waist gives you the best of both a dressy and casual garment.

I share my love of vintage items with you often but it's been a while since I've shared about my affection for silk scarves. I have a entire box full and just about all of them are vintage.

Top options are easy with either a basic semi-fitted tee in any color, denim or a crisp cotton top like I'm wearing. Even though mine has a blue pinstripe it doesn't compete or add too much because the print is so small. You treat it like a solid when styling meanwhile it adds just the right amount of detail.

I chose to wear my loafers because I gravitate towards dressier styling; heels would work great too. A sandal or flat is also just as pretty. It's essential to chose what YOU like and feel confident in!

Ivory Romance

Isn't it romantic? The lace, soft sweater and flowy skirt all in a creamy ivory color exude a feminine and light look. I could wear an all white outfit everyday! I find 'Winter white' which is just another term for ivory, cream, or off-white fresh and unexpected during these cold months. And since down here in the South we don't actually get white Winters we can still have that 'pure as the driven snow' sensation.

While the outfit is monochromatic I did incorporate contrast with the textures of the fabrics & shoes. The delicate lace neckline against the thick pointelle knit (woolen fabric with small eyelet holes) paired with the light pleated skirt creates a balanced combination that keeps you seasonally appropriate.

Now these loafers! My oh my they stopped me in my tracks when I saw them on the table in the shoe department. First, they're ivory so they spark color joy and second the two toned bit shines so bright and third the block heel elevates to the perfect height. These are timeless and just so sharp!
The sophisticated, menswear inspired style adds so much chic to so many outfits!

Fashion is out there everywhere but style, style is how you put it all together. For me it's light palettes, feminine details and classic pieces.

Find what speaks to you and wear it beautifully!
