  2. Both great looks as always.

    I managed to get this very scarf in Bond Street, London today and I'm thrilled. I've been looking for something in this colour way since missing out on the La Femme a few seasons ago.

  8. I love the 70 carre, is the CLF vintage silk, even though its from the mens collection?
    These colours always look great on you. And hello Ms Kelly. Beautiful. Axo

  9. There is a saying that "copying somebody is the most flattering compliment". Of course there is no way anybody could ever reach your standards, but once again you've been a wonderful inspiration! Not only with your classic look, but also your creative idea of turning one outfit into two, simply by changing the pants. Wishing you a lovely week - your dhclt, Macs ;-)

  12. This beatiful scarf! It's a bit like the old designs that I love. And the elegant combinations. Only, when I try to copy, it never looks so exclusive. Schould it be because of me? ;-)
    Kindest regards - Sanne
