Friday is here again and it is time for a new post! This week I have been out of the house wearing one version of a gorgeous scarf design, and have taken lots of modelling photos with different scarf ties of another version. Confused? Well, let me explain…

The answer is that I am so fortunate to own the Alice Shirley for Hermès design “Sous le Charme d’Orphée” both as a 90cm silk scarf and as a 140cm cashmere/silk shawl.

Here they both are, the scarf first, then the shawl (obviously not to scale!)…

So, on Monday I had to go for a blood test at the surgery. Elder Son agreed to accompany me and I suggested that we could go into town afterwards and have lunch together. I am really pleased that this plan worked out well, after a wobbly by me! This is the outfit that I assembled for the occasion: Sous le Charme d’Orphée silk scarf, tied to show the reverse side, with clothing and accessories in grey and silver.

This is a collage of the outfit…

And here are two photos to show how the scarf ties (by the way, this is a criss-cross knot with a MaiTai mother of pearl scarf ring)…

I was very happy to see how this outfit worked out.

Now for the gorgeous, amazing, superb and wonderful shawl version! I have managed to take some modelling photos this week. Some show my face and others focus on the attempt at a tie/knot. I’m not very skilled with arranging a shawl of this size yet, but I did try!

For these photos, I wore a bright cobalt blue short sleeved cotton top by Lands End. The shawl will also complement well other colours in my wardrobe. In fact I have just realised that the clothing that I would wear with that amazing bright Tulipomanie giant triangle would be perfect with this shawl. Let’s have a look…

Yes, these will work! The collage shows some possible items in cashmere, wool and cotton from my wardrobe, by John Lewis, Lands’ End and Marks and Spencer.

Do you want to see the slideshow of the shawl details again? OK, here it is…

One final thing: you might remember that I mentioned a bangle that I have that would work with this shawl? Well, this is it: Ianthe bangle by Liberty of London…

Ooh! I can’t wait for the suitable occasion and weather for this shawl! Mind you, to get the value from this purchase I should wear it every day. And that would be a pleasure 😄.

Happy Weekend everyone!

Love and best wishes,

Anne

PS. Yes, I know I need to update the Scarf of the Moment post to include this shawl. I will have to do this slowly on days when I am able to. My health is very poor and I seem to be adding even more nasty conditions to the already long list!
