Ensemble message: While I love getting inspiration from my fellow style bloggers, Pinterest has jumped the ranks and is now one of my go-to places for style ideas.  And DIY ideas... and home decor, recipes, etc etc etc.  When I saw this pin, I was instantly drawn to the fur collar and silk scarf.  I personally would not have pair them together - in my head this is too much.  But they actually balance out well, and this has been one of my favorite outfits from the past month!


My collar is a fake one - both the fur and the fact that it didn't come with this blazer.  I carefully pinned the edges to hold it in place.  What do you think - would you wear a fur collar and scarf together??

Ensemble message: This outfit is redemption for Monday's, which just felt off to me.  If I could go back and do it again, I would have put this on.  Simple lines but classic with a pencil skirt and scarf.  I normally don't wear my scarves tied like this, and I felt like my grandmother all day.  Which... I really liked!  In fact, by the end of the day, I decided to make it a point to wear more scarves in this old-fashioned way.
Is there anyone in your family whose style you admire?
