Okay, I'll just say it. I'm obsessed with Hermes scarves. I mean, who isn't?! The craftsmanship and history behind the brand are phenomenal. Each scarf tells a different story. I've always romanticized the idea of having a simple wardrobe with quality basics and changing the look with scarves, just as the French supposedly do! (Right now, my closet tells a different story... but one day!)

Mr. S knows about my obsession with Hermes and is very sweet for indulging me from time to time. He gave me this beautiful maxi twilly and a shawl for my birthday. To say that I was delighted is an understatement. Anyhow, I HAD to wear one of them right away!
So, this is what I wore on my actual fortieth birthday for a brunch at Mercat Bistro - such a divine place and fantastic French ambiance on the patio. It also happened to be the same day that the Chic at Every Age gals and I hosted an event at Kendra Scott in Preston Plaza for Breast Cancer Awareness month. The necklace and earrings were part of the "buy one, give one" to a woman going through chemo treatment.
The long scarf with fun paired with a simple black top/bodysuit, flared jeans, and a moto jacket topper! Simple is always good! I felt very elegant AND edgy that day! :)
THE STYLE Rx: A silk scarf is a great versatile accessory. (I know that I mention them all the time, but I truly LOVE scarves!) You can wear it traditionally around your neck for a chic look (as done above and here). If it's a square scarf, you can wear it as a cowboy knot, on your head, or cocoon vest (depending on the size)! Get a little edgy by wrapping it around your wrist like a bracelet or tucking a corner into your back jean pocket a la Aerosmith's Steven Tyler! And easiest, you can always tie it around your bag handle for a pop of color!
Do you own a lot of scarves? How do you wear them? I have so many different types, from pocket squares to long skinny embellished scarves!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! Hope y'all have a wonderful time with friends and family! BTW, I've updated the Shop the Sales page and will be updating regularly for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
I plan on making my holiday list, and checking it ALL off by the end of next week! That will be such a load off so I can focus on other things since Christmas and New Years will be here in a flash!
