Marc By Marc Jacobs Stargazer Scarf: Blue and Aquamarine with Red Outfits

When Shopbop had their 25% off sale, I couldn't resist picking up a couple of little things! I got a cute gold alphabet necklace (with Baby T's initial), and another Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf. It was already on sale, and then an extra 25% off on top. Even with the bad exchange rate with the US dollar it was still a bargain! It's sold out at Shopbop now sadly but you can get it on sale at Nordstrom or on even better sale at Bloomingdale's. Below are two outfits where I wore the scarf for the first time - both times I've paired it with red!

What I wore:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine (new purchase, on sale!)
Dress: Zalora Basics faux leather placket red shift dress (new purchase, on sale!)
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)

Why I wore it:

This dress is another new purchase! I wore it to go out shopping with DH and baby T, it was so comfortable to wear all day. I'd added it to my cart when I was shopping The Iconic sale looking for some cute dresses. I thought this one looked okay and was a nice colour, and the price swayed me to buy it, figuring that I'd make my mind up when it arrived. I loved it as soon as I tried it on at home. You can see I wore it straight from the packet without even ironing it - it still has those fold creases ;) This will be getting a lot of wear and popping up often on the blog.

I thought the blues in the scarf worked well with the red dress, and I added the Pistol boots as it's definitely cooling down a little in Brisbane. Autumn is finally here.


Last worn: Acne pistol boots, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere. First time I've worn the scarf and the dress as they are new purchases.

Other ways to wear: similar blanket scarf with skinny jeans, Acne pistol boots with skinny jeans, print mixing with Louis Vuitton damier ebene speedy.

What I wore:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine (new purchase, on sale!)

Tee: Cotton On Luxe pearl tee
Skirt: Asos colour block maxi skirt in red (on sale!)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)

Why I wore it:

My first day doing two style challenges at once! I started doing the #PoshLadyIndigo challenge as well as the #FoxPackStyleDare challenges. The prompt for the first one was 'colour block-rockin' beats' so my colour block maxi skirt was perfect. The theme for the fox pack style dare was 'flashback hair' and I was going to share an older picture with my longer hair, but then I noticed how the placement of the scarf almost looked like I did have long hair hidden under the scarf, so I said this met the challenge.

Wore this out to playgroup. I really wanted to wear my Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf again, and while I do like the colour combination in this outfit, as I did in the one above, I really don't like this outfit! Just too much volume. I was going to wear a fitted singlet but went for a tee instead for a little more warmth. It was cosy and comfortable for a rainy and cold morning and spending time at playgroup with baby T, but it's not a very flattering combination with all the voluminous pieces together. This is one of those outfits I wished I didn't wear. Maybe I should add that as another tag to my blog, outfit fails. What do you think? Or is seeing the terrible pictures proof enough that outfits like this should not be repeated? ;)

This tee hasn't been worn in a year and a half, and was uncovered during my wardrobe detox session, the stylist was really happy with it and said I should wear it more often. I think it's further confirmation that I have too many tops. Just a shame I did not pick a better outfit for this tee's return to my frequent wardrobe rotation!


Last worn: metallic gold tee, colour block maxi skirt, metallic mouse flats, Louis Vuitton speedy B (above).

Other ways to wear: metallic tee with a pencil skirt, better version of the maxi skirt and tee combination, mouse flats and printed skinny jeans, LV Speedy Bandouliere with a chambray shift dress.
