My mother's collection of silk scarves, that were always tucked away in the back of her dresser next to her jewelry, held various roles in my childhood. When I was little they were coveted accessories while playing dress-up, fastened on my head for a 70's inspired costume (perhaps that is my next look!), inevitably made fun of during my teenage years for being "uncool" and pushed aside as I would sneak into my mother's room to try on her jewelry and dream of getting married someday.
Over the past few weeks I have been seeing silk scarves re-emerge and without my mother's stash handy, I pulled one from the back of my closet to accompany me on date night this weekend. It appears that silk scarves are once again a coveted accessory, but this time it is for the real world instead of the world my young imagination once created.
old scarf, loving this from zara / old top (similar look from lush & topshop) / express jacket (similar at free people & forever 21) / madewell jeans / madewell ring / aldo heels (similar at asos)
