End Notes:
I built today’s outfit around this beautiful scarf that Nepali by TDM Designs recently sent to us. I’ve been craving more ruffles in my wardrobe this fall, so I love how this rippling cashmere scarf adds a great dose of dramatic flair to an outfit of basics, and because I wanted the scarf to take center stage, I kept the rest of the outfit in a muted palette of grays and navy.

But there are more reasons than pure aesthetics to love this scarf! Nepali scarves are all made from natural, eco-conscious materials. Even more impressive, Nepali by TDM Designs works directly with craftswomen in Nepal, helping to provide them with a sustainable income and offering educational and health care services to their families. Smart style that empowers systematically disenfranchised women? Now that’s something that these feminists can definitely get behind!

I just love this look, and I love that scarf! I love, too, how this muted color palette really helps to draw attention to the fantastic details. Gorgeous!
Sublime!!!!!
The scarf is absolutely wonderful. And I have to ask: Where do you find such amazing jersey dresses? I feel like I can never find ones I like.
Loved it in person, love it now. ;)
I love this scarf! I’ve seen these kinds of scarves before and I always love them. The fact that this one comes from such a great company makes it even easier to love (and justify spending some money on!)
Oooh this is so pretty. I especially love the scarf!
You always have great looks! That jersey dress is stunning on your figure.
