The Perfect Neutral Scarf

May 4, 2011

At least three times per week, I wear an ivory, linen/cashmere scarf.  I wear it to work.  I wear it to run errands.  I wear it on the plane.  I wear it with cocktail dresses.  I’ve worn to the point of becoming lifeless and threadbare.  

Needless to say, I’m on the lookout for a replacement.  And I think that I finally found it.

Tonal Metallic Scarf (BCBG, $98)

I mean, come on?  How perfect is this scarf?

It’s beige.  It’s grey.  It’s ivory.  And it has lurex running through it.  That means it’s a neutral-hued, metallic-accented dream product that can be worn with every color in my wardrobe.  

It’s perfect over an ivory cashmere sweater.  It’s lovely under my trenchcoat.  It looks chic with my navy sheath dress.  And it tones down my bright orange v-neck.  

Not to mention the fact that it’s 6′ long and 28″ wide, so I can wrap it around my neck until it is a voluminous mound of silk.  Or, if I’m feeling boho-chic, I can let it drape loosely.  Basic, but not boring, and versatile as all get out.

Yes, I love it.  I think I shall buy it.

    Nothing makes a woman look more mysterious than when she steps off a plane in big sunglasses and with a voluminous mound of silk around her neck. Needless to say I do this a lot. I try to be mysterious, I try.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
