Friday post 17/05/24: returning to a favourite scarf

Hello and welcome to my blog. This Friday I am trying something a bit different. Every Spring, since I bought this wonderful Hermès scarf, I have taken it out of the box, admired the gorgeous colours and then worn it as a kind of tribute to the season. The scarf is: Dans un Jardin Anglais by Alice Shirley (and no that isn’t me in the pic below – I wish I were so young!).

Back at the end of April, I found a collage from 2018 with this scarf. It looks as if I had just been to the hairdresser!

And here we have today’s version, nearly six years later:

I had to tilt my head because I couldn’t get the pretty soutache earrings into my left ear! Also, it took me quite a while to find the same aspect of the scarf – 😂. I had a look back at the post from 2018 and this is the full outfit:

  • Purple sapphire cotton vest – Land’s End. This colour matches exactly one of the shades on the scarf, which is nice 😍.
  • Frosted lavender cotton mix cardigan – Lands’ End.
  • Purple and turquoise soutache earrings – Etsy.
  • Silk scarf, 90cm, in lilac, aqua, purple, green – Dans un Jardin Anglais – Hermès. Necklace tie.

It has been fun to deliberately recreate an outfit from the past and I might do this again, someday. If you are interested in the design, then here is the link to my Scarf of the Moment post with more details, including images of the 90cm size and the mousseline, gavroche and twilly versions.

Happy Weekend!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
