a scarf in summer

 Outfit details: Loft v-neck, black skirt, silk scarf from India, Clarks heels, F21 necklace, peacock earrings (??)

Wearing scarves in summer was once quite taboo, but there is one way to do it and beat the heat at the same time- wear a scarf as a belt! I've seen a lot of pictures of people using scarves as belts and finally decided to give it a try. Worked quite well with this outfit, I think!

It's been humid and drizzly today, but even with the break from scorching sunlight, it's still sticky and hot. That's summer in the South for you! On rainy days I think the most depressing thing to do is wear neutrals or dark colors- the weather's got that palette covered, so why not bust out the super brights?

Plus this outfit gave me an occasion to wear the new shoes I bought in Paris (on sale to boot, woo!) that are the loveliest shade of royal blue.
