Foulard de la semaine

I couldn't wait to show you this one!

This gorgeous papillon scarf was a gift from Imogen. It's a lovely sheer silk, with a dusty pink background and butterflies in shades of gold, brown and pink. The sweater was my New Color Palette Purchase during the shopping portion of our Saturday workshop. It's a lovely lightweight cotton cardigan ("Jackie" cardigan from J.Crew). Not only is the color fabulous, but it has 3/4 sleeves, perfect for the air-conditioned office during summer months.

  2. Those colors are doing amazing things for you. I love the scarf and cardigan! I wish I could have gone to the event this weekend. It looks like it was a lot of fun with great information. I know I need to reassess my colors.

  4. Lovely colors in your sweater and scarf (the scarf is gorgeous). I also read your post on the workshop you did with Imogen and Karen. Sounds so fun, and I wish I could have been there to meet all of you. (For some reason I thought you lived in France, Pseu.)

    Thanks for sharing what you learned. I learned something vicariously through you.

    Also appreciate your recent comments on my post about writers and art. Muchas gracias.

  9. Imogen recommended this very colour for me too. Sadly they didn't have this colour at the JCrew in Century City. It looks fantastic on you.

  11. For the price point, I think J Crew do colour better than anybody, and this is so feminine and beautiful on you!

  21. LBR - they have it online... ;-) I guess we have the same palette. Thanks!

    Karen - thanks, and yes this cardi is definitely a winner!

    Duchesse - I tend not to think of J.Crew because the don't carry much in Petites, but this sweater is regular size and seems to be just fine in length. I'm going to make them a first stop for sweaters and other basics. Thank you!
