My first Hermès scarf

Today wearing my first ever Hermès scarf (Courbettes et Cabrioles) which I received as a gift in 1985. It features horses and even though one can't see very much of them when the scarf is tied, it has a very equestrian feel.



I love this scarf and whenever I wear it, I find myself choosing clothes and knots that go with the theme. Today wearing skinny black jeans and a white shirt (reminds me of a dressage outfit) with the CetC in an Ascot knot, leaving the ends hang loose. To me, this scarf is a great example for the timeless beauty of H Carrés.. nearly twenty-five years on it continues to H-up a very basic and simple outfit.

H it Up!

• Courbettes & Cabrioles Carré
• Muse belt buckle & black box belt strap
• Farandole necklace
• 35 Birkin
