Wearing A Statement Scarf

Dress - French Connection (seen here) // Scarf - Old

You have the statement necklace but what about wearing a statement scarf in the office? Eye catching jewellery doesn't really work in the office as I learnt here, so I tried making an outfit that was all about my big orange scarf.

What's great about wearing a statement scarf you ask? EVERYTHING. The scarf is light weight but made from silk and wool so it keeps you warm in the office. It's nice and large so when the aircon is turned on and the office starts to feel like Siberia, I wrap myself up. It's not as restrictive as wearing a blazer. You're free to move but the a scarf looks nicer than a slanket (Slanket: a "gigantic fleece blanket with sleeves").

I love the contrast between my navy dress and the orange scarf. It was handed down from my mum. She bought it in the 80's from a boutique in Paris during their closing down sale (bargain hunting runs in the blood). I haven't found a square scarf as large and luxurious as this one but I'm on the look out!
