Today I am sporting ruffles and flowers together! Both fall outside my normal comfort zone. Like E, I have been embracing ruffles more and more this season, but always paired with stripes or other hard edges.
peep toes and tights, originally uploaded by academichic.When I saw this scarf at Anthropologie, I immediately thought of S. (although this is definitely my color palette) and was ready to pass it up, but little sister L. convinced my to try it on and play around with it. I decided a what better way to introduce an new aesthetic than through an old favorite – the scarf.
Flowers and ruffles!, originally uploaded by academichic.I’m letting this new wardrobe addition have center stage so belted it over my black jersey dress and chocolate-brown long cardigan. I think the pockets may be my favorite part of today’s outfit.

Such a gorgeous pattern. I bet that scarf will get TONS of use!
This is a gorgeous scarf! Largely thanks to you, A, I found myself inspired to try belting scarves this season.
the scarf is awesome. and you wear it so naturally no one would ever know it’s out of your comfort zone.
That scarf undere the belt is a really great look- it seems to have become your signature autumn look!
LOVE IT.
Love the outfit! Your legs look a mile long!
That scarf is AWESOME! I was just talking to L. about how we love the belted scarf idea too :)
That’s a gorgeous scarf — I’ve been seeing the belted scarf everywhere this season. You look great! – JoAnn
Very elegant!
Perfect! You look 8 feet tall in this ensemble! (Though maybe you are? How would I know?)
You look great and I love the scarf this way. I never did wear a lot of belts before. But this season I received a basket full of belts from someone and now I am having lots of fun with them!
Like everyone else, I love love love the scarf. An Anthropologie trip might be in order for this weekend!
That is one fantastic scarf… and the open toe shoes and grey tights look so good. I am so glad that open toes finally became all season wear.
The pattern is marvelous, and I really love the rich color of that belt! Can’t wait to see the other scarf stylings!
This outfit is fab. Classy and elegant.
I love this look! The scarf…the belt…the cardi…the gray tights with the brown shoes…I covet it all! Very cute ensemble.
Delurking to say this is my favorite of your belted scarf looks. You look great!
This outfit is so rich looking and looks wonderful on you. That scarf is soooooo pretty. Love your eye makeup, too.
Wow!! What a great outfit! And you look stunning in it! I tried your belted scarf look last week and got a ton of compliments. Thanks as always for the outfit ideas.
