I've been wearing my Zenobie today (having a Zenobie week all by myself as I've been wearing it one way or another for last 3 days). Anyone else sometimes match/coordinate their clothes to their favourite scarf of the moment? What you can't see is my skirt is a sort of plaid that's close to the cw minus the purple.

As you can see I have managed to keep up my reputation as the world's worst selfie taker but here's the lovely silk over a purple cashmere poncho, colours may be not so bright IRL

I often start with the scarf, and then plan an outfit around it! Do the same with handbags... bag first, then clothing. :amuse:
Love this cw of Zenobie. Plaid is quite on trend at the moment, and apparently (according to the fashion mags, if they are to be believed) the thing to do is wear plaid with other patterns. So you are very much in fashion! :flowers:

I wasn't sure either (bought fairly well into the season and not from my usual store but Harrods where they seemed to have all the cws) and then so called 'IS'/ISIL/ISIS tried to destroy Palmyra, murdering it's devoted guardian thereby buying/wearing it has became an act of warrior queens' defiance against bullies (esp the male kind) who would rather history conveniently didn't exist

I had also mistakenly thought it wouldn't suit (as Maharaja Perles and other jewellery design scarves from other designers) but the design is a bit more 'robust' (making it actually suitable for men and women IMO) plus it looks great in the hair/on the head. I found the less bright cws in this design helped me make up my mind.

Sending you further inspiration XXX

Thank you papertiger. You are so right about the destruction of a wonderful history that is a precious heritage for all of us. You have certainly inspired me....[emoji11]

This is gorgeous, @papertiger. Looks wonderful on you and this is a great photo. I'll have to look this scarf up! Nothing wrong with coordinating your OOTD around your fave scarf. :tup: Love the idea. I usually go around it the other way when I think about it, but nowadays because it's been getting chilly and I've been wearing fairly dark monotone shades, so almost the scant amount of scarves I own match. Almost.



I'm on the east coast in the U.S., @Pautinka. [emoji2] I'm so glad your cashmere is gravy-free (so lucky). I imagine if you've tied your scarf fairly simply, it'd make sense to simply whisk it off and then put it on later. An unfortunate accident, indeed. Maybe bring a ziplock bag with you next time to stash the CSGM. Then there's very little chance of any liquids getting to it.

I feel that if I wore my scarf in a complicated knot when going out, I'd have to bring a giant bib with me to cover it since I wouldn't want to deal with re-knotting it post-meal. I thought I read in this thread or another one that someone brings a linen napkin with them all the time to protect the scarf during meals which is smart. Or I guess I can carefully flip the scarf towards my back (which would look fairly odd and not completely foolproof --> what's to stop a waiter from accidentally dropping food on your backside?) and then use a napkin to cover that smaller portion or just chance it that way.

Of course Cygne18, there is the option that I simply don't take my children out to lunch! (But then that wouldn't be fun!). Yes, I turn my 90s round on my neck when eating but my shawl was worn tucked into a belt so was very easy to remove. Oh the joys of being the guardian of a much longed-for item! [emoji16][emoji16] Anyway, I better not stroll too far OT so think I might pop in a little photo of my only Latham. Wearing it yesterday (and seeing pbp's glorious Zenobie) made me realise that I need more autumnal colours. As always, I apologise for my Samsung photo quality.

Sorry, of course I meant papertiger's beautiful Zenobie, not pocketbook pup! Apologies.
