I did indoor shots today and this scarf looked incredibly, undeniably red against my yellow dining room walls. But it’s pink! A vibrant, hot pink! And I’m so glad HM arrived home in time for an outdoor shot to prove it.

I took a few pieces to the tailor this afternoon, including several tunics, so leggings were a necessity today. They make the trying-on of things so much easier. This particular pair of leggings is beginning to bag at the knees, which I’m assuming is due to repeated wearings and washings … though it’s possible I’ve suddenly lost a bunch of knee-weight. Soon, they’ll get retired and replaced or repurposed.

The pop of pink is this beautiful scarf is the perfect touch to make this look! I also really like the boots.

I love hearing that you found a dvf on ebay, gives me hope. :) I find great things on ebay all of the time, but no dvf for me yet.

The DvF has such a great print!!! And it looks snappy (ashamed I am using this word) with the pink scarf!

No shame! I love “snappy”!

I struggle to determine the true color of my clothes all the time. Our house only gets dim light. I get dressed in the morning and often think things match and then realize later in the day that they do not.

Sal- I’m local and wondering if you would recommend your tailor? I haven’t found one that I feel comfortable with doing anything more complicated than hemming.

Kayt, I’ll definitely let you know. This is a new one to me – Sew Simple, inside Blacklist Vintage in Uptown – so I’m not sure yet how it’ll go. Fingers crossed!

I haven’t worn through any leggings yet – but what would happen if you cut them above the knees (to wear under longer skirts as a warmth layer until it warms up again?) I suppose they’d roll up though, now that I think about it.

But they might make good utility headbands/scrunchies/turtlenecks etc when cut into “rings”…
