The Scarf Diaries, Part 6

Just to clarify how I post my scarf diaries: while I try to post 5 photos in the order I've worn these clothes, that doesn't always happen. I am now trying to be more careful about transferring photos from my phone more consistently. Also, when three photos in a row mention I've worn the same color pants, I never wear the same pants two days in a row. There is most likely an outfit (either pants or a skirt) between each photo where I didn't wear a scarf, or the weekend happened.

 

 

Here's one of the silk scarves from the Hill-Stead Museum shop. This collection was made using designs from items in the house, and this scarf is based upon the carpeting in the Parlor Bedroom. Unfortunately for the museum, these were not big sellers. Fortunately for me, they went on half-price sale and I also got my guide's discount.

This is a lightweight voile scarf from H & M in Westfarms that I bought for our Africa trip. A bargain for  $7, I wore it a lot in Africa with several different outfits. Again, I didn't care if this one got lost or stolen--but I'm glad it came back home with me!

 

Worn with black and white marl open cardigan from J. Jill, white Adea layering top, and black Kohl's pants.

 

Another souvenir scarf--this one from the Italian brand Gattinoni that we bought at their store in Milan when we visited Malima with Ross for a vacation in October 2012. It's a beautiful quality silk with a hand-rolled hem. The design and colors are quite sophisticated--very Italian!

Worn with aqua Talbot's merino open cardigan and black Kohl's pants

This scarf was sold by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC in its holiday catalog many years ago. Using a design by William Morris, it came in a few different colorways.  The pinks and greys work well with this jacket. I also have the scarf in tan/olive with a black background, and the museum still sells items with that colorway.

Worn with pink boiled wool jacket from J. C. Penney and gray Kohl's pants

Another wearing of my scarf from Venice, but this time I made sure to accentuate the silver parts.
