Cupcakes and Cashmere

Grayed out Black

February 8th, 2012

Vintage Scarf, Balenciaga Sunglasses, Club Monaco Sweater, Hudson Jeans c/o, Reed Krakoff Bag, Steve Madden Booties

My weekend uniform is usually pretty casual – boyfriend jeans, inside-out sweatshirts, and flat boots to run errands. But when I’m heading out to a lunch that’s not served on paper plates or for late afternoon cocktails, I try to stick with comfortable basics that still feel a bit elevated. This sweater is a recent find and I love that it’s breathable, but still warm enough so it doesn’t necessitate multiple layers.

    Love the vintage headscarf! I wish I knew how to tie them right- I need to practice – very inspired. Also adore the combo of grey and orange!

    I love this outfit! The scarf adds the perfect pop of colour. I’d love to know how you tied it? Whenever I have a go, mine always end up looking a little too ridiculous for my liking!

    Hi Emily,
    I love this outfit and love the scarf! I was wondering, is the scarf elasticated or have you tied it? If you have tied it, how have you done this? Thank you x

    Hi Emily,
    This is a great casual look. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how you tied your head wrap like that? It’s really cool :)
