Colonel Mustard

One of the biggest joys of dressing for cooler weather is the abundance of wonderful textures. Yesterday marked the first day of Fall and I could barely wait to comb through my bin filled with fringed scarves, knit hats and thick tights. Since I knew that the brisk morning would only last for several hours before substantially heating up, I opted for my checkered mustard scarf that’s still relatively light with opaque, black tights.



Gap ruffled dress, Forever 21 scarf, watch and ring, Hue tights, Michael Kors wedges, Foley+Corinna bag, vintage aviators.

I love how you wore your scarf! Your fashion sense is really inspiring and I look forward to see what you put together! I love the entire look and am anxiously awaiting it to cool off here. Who would imagine 77 degrees, mid-september in Wisconsin!?!?

45 Emily { 09.24.08 at 7:03 am }

Thank you for all of your lovely comments, I’m blushing with appreciation! To answer Leah’s question, I just recently went to Manu Salon in Santa Monica and saw Kris for my color. I was really happy with how she added so many multi-dimensional highlights and the price was insanely affordable. 310.829.2554

46 Legallyblondemel { 09.24.08 at 7:32 am }

You may be the only person in the world who can pull off this combination, but it looks just fabulous on you. Love the high-low combo of Gap dress & Kors shoes too . . .

47 tiffany { 09.24.08 at 9:44 am }

i like this outfit a lot. I like how you tied the scarf so it’s a circle. I’m currently obsessed with scarfs like that and have been making my own.
