Europe 2014 | The Scarves.

...Brenda suggested, in a comment on Tuesday's post, that I recap the scarves I wore. I had six along for the trip, these five

(clockwise from the upper left - Bias Before & After, Meadowsweet, Habu Color Affection, Traveling Woman and Juliette)

and my newest Diagonal Lace Linen (aka one of the four "Florence scarves").

I learned when I was in Paris back in 2009 that scarves are key to making the same outfits work over and over. I chose the first five "oldies but goodies" because they coordinated with at least two tops ... and because they were all summer weight (lots of linen, silk and, in the case of that traveling woman, sugar cane!). I wore and re-wore every one of them, except for the Bias Before & After (It was a little too colorful for what I ended up wearing in Paris...and then a little too warm for Florence). 

Here's a quick recap of a few of my favorite outfits...and views!

This was a fun post to put together - thank you, Brenda, for the suggestion!
