A Little Bit of Grunge

February 19, 2015

DSC_0228 DSC_0229-2 DSC_0290 DSC_0322 DSC_0369Sweater: Madewell | Blouse: Ann Taylor (similar)| Jeans: Zara (similar) | Scarf: Loft (sold out) | Necklace: J.Crew (sold out) | Ring: Oscar de la Renta (old) | Bracelet: J.Crew (old)| Purse: Marc by Marc (similar) | Booties: Dansko (similar)| Lipstick: Bobbi Brown (Warm Beige) | Lip Gloss: Smashbox Limitless Long Wear (Endless)

I am wearing a scarf! The only time I wear a scarf is with my coat to stay warm but never as an accessory. I have always liked the look but couldn’t get into it because of my broad shoulders and full chest – it added too much bulk.  After studying how others wear them, I decided that pairing one with some basics was the easiest way to pull it off.

I can’t believe the amount of times I’ve worn this blouse. I wear a lot of prints and novelty type items, so the fact that I managed to come up with three different looks wearing one blouse is astounding.

It’s almost the weekend! I can hardly believe it. Long weekends are the best, but short work weeks are even better. I hope everyone has something fun planned. See you next week and thanks for reading.

    Cute look! I am pretty scarf-obsessed myself. I have two baskets stuffed full of them in my hall closet 🙂

    Lol it’s funny because today I styled my outfit around my infinity scarf today and now I’m reading this. It is hard at times to pair scarfs with an outfit and not a jacket, but I think you did it really well – culturedmisprint.blogspot.com

    Scarf looks lovely on you! I also love your lipstick. The next time I’m in Sephora, I’m going to check it out, because it looks like it would be flattering on a variety of complexions. Bobbi Brown lipsticks are my favourite!

      Thanks Tania. I’ve really warmed up to this lipstick. It’s the only pigmented one I own. It has a matte finish, but I prefer a gloss so I wear one on top. Let me know if you purchase this color.
