How to wear a scarf with patterned tops - part two

In part two of the recent reader's style challenge (how to mix scarves with patterned tops) I am complementing the printed tunic with a scarf and capsule pieces in a two-tone color block. The scarf almost becomes part of the wardrobe, while the patterned top seems to take over the part the scarf usually plays..

featured scarf: Hermès 'Coupons Indiens' 90 Carré




Capsule pieces: coral jeans, navy blazer and printed tunic
Shoes: blue patent pumps
Accessories: Hermès Chaine d'ancre enamel bracelet, Farandole necklace and Bolide in Bleu de Prusse
Scarf: Hermès ‘Coupons Indiens’ 90 Carré worn in the basic bias fold. For a how-to, please click here



All three variations:

  5. Bonjour!

    Simply lovely! This is my favorite combination. Can I ask how did you wear your hair at the back in this photo, how is the hair look created please? Will you be featuring any modelling shots/shots in action of the Vivier shoes?

    1. I start of with a ponytail, but when twisting the ends through the elastic for the last time, I loop them instead of pulling them through (in a similar way on how the half-bow is created in the criss-cross bow knot). The loop creates the 'bun'. I then pin the stray ends under the bun. Hope this explanation makes sense.

    As for the this pattern/scarf combo, you've done it again. Great choice on the navy Vivier shoes.
