Friday post 24/11/23: in the doldrums

It has been a strange kind of week. I haven’t been able to motivate myself to get out of bed and wear something nice. Instead, I have spent the time immersed in my books and a marathon revisit to the Outlander series on Lionsgate. Perhaps I have needed the escapism from the realities of life.

I did wear my new purple jumper with a deep red velvet scarf for a couple of hours on one day, but forgot to take a photo! The scarf box on the top of the pile opened to reveal the scarf below, which has been hanging on my mirror waiting for me to wear it with a navy cashmere and merino v-neck…

By the way, the architecture in the background of the scarf is drawn in navy, which helps tie it to a navy column of clothing. This is how I usually wear it, but it also goes well with my grey outfits.

Here’s an old collage with this gorgeous scarf:

Oh, thinking of Outlander, I have to repost these images!

I really must make an effort over the next few days to pull myself out of the doldrums and join the rest of the world!

Happy Weekend to you all.

Love and best wishes,

Anne

    Hi Anne,

    The weather this time of year (transition to winter) has me feeling the same as you. Doldrums is the perfect descriptor. I’ve been re-watching the movies of Nancy Myers which is one form of escapism and really love watching Great British Bake Off as it’s called here in N America.

    We are twins on this beautiful scarf and I like to wear it with gray as well. I will try it with navy. This year, to help look forward to our long winter, I purchased H mufflers (men’s), one bright and one neutral. It has helped get me out the door to walk my dog in the cold mornings.

    Hope you have a wonderful week and life lifts a bit for you.
