When you think of the fall season, one item that comes to your mind are scarves. The cozy quintessential fall item you wrap around your body to keep yourself warm. Today, however, we are not talking about the blanket-like item that keeps you snug, we are talking about silk scarves. I call silk scarves the decor of accessories. Their purpose is to add detail, to elevate your outfit. Silk scarves are seasonless; wear hanging loosely over a shift dress, tied around your neck with a button-up, or draped over your shoulders with a sweater. Over the years I have accumulated a few silk scarves of different sizes and colors. My dream is to own a classic Hermés and/or Chanel silk scarf. Anyway, I much prefer the larger scarves so I can fold it into a triangle; a portion hanging on my back and tied in the front. I also love to let it hang loosely, as seen above. Here are a few silk scarves I have on my radar that can be worn not only during the fall season but throughout the year.

As we transition into the fall season, I am not quite ready to throw on jeans and a heavy sweater. It is still warm enough to wear a dress around town or while working from home. I am all about maxi and midi dresses these days that I can easily throw on; paired with sneakers for an everyday look, heels for a dinner date, or booties later on in the season. This floral navy dress has been one that I reach for day after day to throw on. I love the easiness of it; not form-fitting at all. It’s a little on the baggy side, I am wearing an x-small for size reference. I like that it is not form-fitting so it gives room for comfort and mobility. If you were to want a more fitted look you could easily cinch the waist with a belt, but I prefer for it to be loose. Once the weather gets a little chillier, I can throw on a sweater over it creating a two-piece look. A fall throw on dress that is comfortable, cute, and versatile is all I need this season.

The pandemic has made us slow down, forcing us to spend more time with ourselves and loved ones. We learned to bake, tried to piece together puzzles, sat through movie marathons, and picked up a book to read. Restaurants have turned the streets into a magical al fresco experience. Museums are less crowded, allowing us to gaze at the art as long as we desire. We became creative in how we spend our time. Date nights are more about conversations and intimacy.  A walk in the park is romantic again. We realized that it’s not what you do but who you spend your time with. Knowing that this special person wants to be with you doing the simplest things in life, well I can’t think of anything better. (more…)
