Weardrobe Challenge #1: American Apparel Circle Scarf








Suz and Rich of Weardrobe contacted me to invent a few different ways of wearing this lovely purple American Apparel circle scarf that they generously sent my way. We're calling it the Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarf! And this was my first "cozy look" taken just after a wonderful Chinese lunch. Here I am clad in my glasses and a houndstooth print newsboy cap. It was a chilly afternoon, so a sweater and my favorite ankle hi Minnetonka trampers helped in completing my cozy wares.

Click for Sweety.
She was also out and about in the sun with us that day!! =]

Cap: TopGear. Sweater: Vintage (thank you, Mom!) Pants: Mudd. Shoes: Minnetonka. Circle Scarf: American Apparel.

Very cute! I hope they sell it in the Uk. Very versatile, wicked!
My God over here is snowing so much, any pictures in the sun make me jealous although I had loads of fun in the today.
See you soon

I love the scarf! Isn't it great?

Kay said...

I love the light in these picture, niice.
I'd been a bit dubious about that scarf as it seems a little overpriced for what it is even with its apparent versatility but it does look really good!

Iole said...

Love the pics, the scarf and the colours are just perfect...
Love

DaisyChain said...

1) SO jealous of your weather, it's really snowing here and so bitterly cold.

2) I want a circle scarf so bad, you've almost convinced me to splash out the extortionate amount of money AA over here charges!

3) How do you always look so damn beautiful?

DaisyChain said...

I forgot
GIVE SWEETIE A HUGE HUG FROM ME, she is so damn cute.
Flash is being a turd today, he took two steps out in the snow and then reversed (literally) and now he's cowering under a chair lol.

Suzanne said...

Oh man, I LOVE my circle scarf! I got it a few weeks ago and I wear it pretty much every day. I usually double it up and wear it as a scarf, and when it's windy I can pull part of it up for a hood :)

Ali-bell said...

I'm fascinated by those scarfs.. but the only AA in sydney is a couple of busrides away, and I'm lazy and poor. I'm sure I could make something similar, though...

Nina (femme rationale) said...

How come you have glasses all of a sudden ? I love the AA scarf !

C.B. said...

It's a good way to wear that kind of scarf... more like a cape isn't it?

Anyway, you look fabulous as always!

Anika said...

Awwww, hun, you look stunningly cute/gorgeous (you pick, either/both work!) in those glasses....awww, look at the dimples :)

Alright, enough embarassing you....just wanted to forewarn you not to get tooo excited over the package...otherwise you'll be cursing the Aussie :P

Have a gorgeous day bella

Protege said...

Love the color and love the pictures! You look great.;)
I wish more people would wear colors in the winter; here in Scandinavia everyone just wears black.
Not me; I wear everything from baby blue to peach.;)) I love purple as well.;)

muchlove said...

Cate said...

Wow, I've never seen you with your glasses on! You look so gorgeous, especially because you're laughing once again! <3
That purple is really your colour. It looks great against your hair and skin. It's exactly the colour of the eyeshadow -- which you will receive soon! :)
By the way, the nailpolish I'm wearing in the video is "Red Hot" nailpolish by Estée Lauder :)

Cate

♥ fashion chalet said...

I. Thanks for the great response everybody!!! =]

II. To answer some of you Questions:

I wear contacts mostly, but this was a lazy day. My eyes were sleepy so I stayed in my glasses all day.

The scarf is great. Wayyyy bigger than I ever imagined. I mean huuuuge. It's like some kind of cape/blanket thing. I love how thick the material is too.

My 'photographer' husband made me laugh a lot during this "shoot", thus the smiley shots. haha! =]

I can be seen wearing my wedding band here.

dapper kid said...

I just wore my black AA dress today. It is officially featured on my blog! We are one step closer to becoming the Olsens!

Gorgeous photos, you look so pretty and natural.
You're so lucky to look so young for your age - I swear you don't look a day over 18 here. You must have great genes :)
And is it weird if I say you have great lips?!

You really suit the cap. You should do hats more often :) xxx
