And another vibrant scarf very similar to my Lettres Equestres from yesterday. Brides et Destin GT. A perfect throw-and-go format! The lighting was not the best for this photo, but the punch of the cobalt blue still comes through somewhat.
I am so far behind that replying to everyone will be impossible.
But I am loving the power scarfs, the 80’s suits and glasses ( I actually have a new pair that are almost identical to @Cookiefiend ’s). And especially the power that resonates from all of you, strong women 👍💪
So thank you @Lellabelle, I am really enjoying this week and your very interesting thoughts about power scarfs.
I love the idea of a power scarf to empower oneself. Although it is softened by the flowery design, my Tulipomanie lifts me up, in what I consider a power colour for me.
Have a nice day everyone!

Hello,
Not feeling well today. First my husband caught the flu and now it's my turn. 😬 And to add insult to injury, Merlin, the cat, bit me yesterday when being overly excited to have his food. Oh well, I did the Big Shopping this morning so we won't die of hunger during the long weekend.😐 Today with a scarf I like but don't love, Cuirs du Désert. Combined with suede and one of my favourite gemstones which is no stone at all but fossil resin, amber. I found the necklace many years ago in an art gallery in Gdansk, Poland. I wanted it immediately because the amber was manufactured in a quite modern way.

I think it looks lovely on you and let your eyes sparkle, although you caught the flu. You and your husband get better soon! (aand the (risky) cat bite: hope not too deep and healing well...)
At all "scarfies": Thank you so much for hosting and posting and wishing a quick recovering for/to all you ladies/gents here. Grateful for all your posts, usually liking and loving a lot, though life is rather a bit challenging right now, so please forgive me for lurking but not loving and liking as regularly as I would love to and thus showing my love and respect and appreciation to your incredible hosting and sharing of beautiful photos and so so many insights/information.
Thank you for your lovely comment, dear @Pivoine66 . All the very best to you and your family and I hope everything gets better soon! The cat bite was not deep but I know those are risky because of all the bacteria they carry and I disinfected it immediately. Seems to heal. Thank you so much for your concern.I think it looks lovely on you and let your eyes sparkle, although you caught the flu. You and your husband get better soon!

I'm wearing a red scarf today. Not only is red a powerful color, this design features a big elephant. The elephant is certainly a powerful animal.
Beloved India is my power scarf of the day.

Going with red again for today’s power scarf. Trésors d’un Artiste is such a wonderful design for textures and in this cw I’ve always felt it makes a bold statement.
I love amber!!! Looks good with your shirt - and Cuirs (sisters!)
Hope you feel better soon!!
The cobalt and deep pink is an energetic combo - a fun twist on navy and red. The inspiration for this design was the Fates, I believe: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos; collectively the Moirai, goddesses of destiny. Beings of power, most certainly!
Lovely, @Croisette7 . We don’t see this one enough. AFdC has so many details. Annie Faivre included visual references to her previous H scarf designs in this, making it a fun puzzle for aficionados. Not only can we hunt for her signature monkey, but for snippets from her other designs!
Hello @redheaddem and so glad you could join us. This is absolutely an empowering, and powerful scarf!
You make a wonderful point about balance too - the softness of the flowers adds an extra element to offset the boldness of the colour, giving a powerful, but not domineering, look. Perfect for you!
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, @darkstar66. I hope you and your husband are feeling better soon and get to enjoy the long weekend.
How clever of you to combine the soft colour with soft textures. The amber is lovely too!
Great power scarf, @Redbirdhermes. You’ve actually anticipated two more of our sub-themes! I’ll let our lovely scarf community guess what they might be!
Oh my, darkstar ... what a trouble in your house, get well very soon! Your Cuirs, the amber necklace and your jacket are made together, a nice modern vibe!
Thanks Lellabelle, by close inspection I found "tons" of monkeys.
For day five, I will circle back to where we started and return to a forum where power dynamics are constantly in play - the workplace. The changing world of work was the trigger for numerous changes in fashion, and the reason for the “power dressing” phenomenon. Today’s power exploration is: Girl boss - professional looks to break the boardroom.
Some of our fearless scarfies have generously shared pictures of their shoulder pads and broad-shouldered blouses, sharp tailored blazers and fierce colours and patterns. These looks clearly show a defined and recognizable style, constructed with care to show maximum confidence. Power dressing is all about grabbing attention and showing the world you mean business. Because I couldn’t resist, here are some examples of what power looked like in 80s fashions:
(I actually had a pink suit a lot like this one, though mine was sadly not Dior!)
While the 80’s was truly the power-dressing heyday - with power looks utilizing colour and pattern to further grab attention - there have been professional power looks in each generation. The Chanel suit was a revolution in women’s fashion and has inspired look-alikes and tributes to this day, each of which manage to convey the same authority and elegance that made the original design so endeared. Whether it was the eschewing of corsets, the raising of hemlines, or the adoption of pants/trousers, strides in fashion have accompanied forward leaps for female autonomy and authority. Interestingly, the power suit look made a return to the runway in Fall 2024, so perhaps that’s an acknowledgment of the need to reassert ourselves at this time in history.
Many of these looks were deliberately androgynous, to de-emphasise femininity and encourage others to focus on what we contribute, rather than our gender. To express ourselves, we turned to smaller symbols, such as scarves or jewellery. A single strand of pearls, or a casually draped silk scarf, was a way to hold to our womanhood in a world dominated by men. It is a classic look and remains a signifier of refinement and confidence today.
A well-tailored blazer commands attention in a multitude of styles, and no wardrobe is complete without one. While my days of being “suited and booted” every day are thankfully behind me (work continues, but the dress codes have changed), I have a range of blazers in different colours and fabrics, which make for easy and versatile professional separates. They are a perfect pairing with scarves for a professional power look. It’s also a great way to elevate a casual look, and pairing a blazer with jeans, a plain tee and silk scarf is one of my go-to looks when I want to be comfortable but still look polished.
Style tip: blazers come in many styles and fabrics. Choose a blazer in a classic colour and modern fabric - with good stretch - for a comfortable wardrobe staple that will take you from brunch to the boardroom, as comfortably as a cardigan but with infinitely more impact.
What’s your favourite blazer/scarf pairing when you want to make an impact?
