French Flair

Stripe shirt: H&M, Vest: H&M, Jeans: Forever 21, Heels: Gap (old), Accessories: Karen Walker sunglasses, 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target scarf, 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli, Marc x Marc Jacobs watch, Alisa Michelle and vintage bracelets, Nike FuelBand 

My earliest fashion memories are from my mother. She really loved fashion and style. If she could have, she would have worked in fashion. At least that's what I think. She never actually said this to me but I have a feeling she would have since she talked about her dreams of opening up a small shop to me all the time. My mom was particularly fascinated with scarves. She had a mean collection. I would play with them. A LOT. So, this outfit reminds me of her. She would wear scarves in all sorts of ways and she appeared so ladylike and sophisticated. I'm not like my mom with my style sense but wearing this 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target scarf in this way makes me feel a little bit more so. This look makes me feel more sophisticated than I ever am and has more French flair style than I usually dress (unless you count that one time I tried it here).

  1. I love your scarf and shoes! My Mom had thyroid cancer when I was very young (she's still here with us!) and so to cover up her scars around her throat she would always wear scarves. I loved playing dress up with them :)

    I love your top! :D

  4. That's so cute. My mom has never been into fashion, but my Grandmother (her mom) really was. We are a lot alike. I love having memories like that! Your scarf is so pretty and I am glad to hear your stories!

  5. It does look quite French. Maybe because each piece is so simple? The sunnies and lippy are classic. I mentioned you on the blog today!

  17. Great outfit! I love the scarf. It has such a beautiful pattern and has such beautiful colors in it. I also like how you played up the red by adding the red heels. Perfect! Love it! I am also drooling over your bag!

  21. How sweet is this post! My mom was never into fashion - she still wears hand me down tee shirts from me that are 20+ years old. You are always so chic Nancy!

  26. Your mom sounds like a fantastic dresser. A simple scarf can really make an outfit. I love this look--and how you wore the scarf on Saturday too.
