Foulard de la semaine
All this talk of ruffled scarves and Tish’s post last week about the ruffled collar trend reminded me that I’d purchased this wack-a-doodle number last year because I loved the autumn colors so much. I’ve never worn it because part of me thinks it’s just a bit much (and it’s still too hot anyway, except to model in air-conditioned comfort) but now that there’s a trend working, I may have to find a way for this to see daylight.
Peut-être.

Like the colours; if too much to wear, tie on a bag!
Nice colors; very “fall.”
Défénitivement Mme pseu, les ‘froufrou’ reviennent à la mode. Chez-nous, nous les voyons un peu içi et là , chic et très féminin. Le vôtre est comme un rayon de soleil, charmant!
Orane
Your colours, definitely!
It looks great with your hair.
I think it’s beautiful. Go for it.
It is charming, especially since the jackets shoulders are crisping up a bit this year–a wine , or chocolate or taupe/olive( as in your pic) fitted blazer with that at the neck would look great, I think..if it still feels like too much, you could just tuck the fringy ends under the lapels and fluff out the rest..gorgeous colors.
So fun! I dare you! C’mon, you know you want to . . .
I like it. I’m officially on the hunt for a ruffly scarf now.
Fab-u-lous.
Well, of course, the last thing anyone of us needs is another black sweater — but then again. . .
Perfect! You must have started the trend 😉
I love it, too. I would wear to an evening event… the symphony perhaps.
I, for one, LOVE it. And feel quite sure you’ll find a way to make it work!
That would lovely with the Ann Taylor jacket you liked ;)…..just saying…..
Wowtsy! I´d suggest ( depending on the width and length of it ) that wear it as a shawl, if it gets too hot as a scarf. Maybe even around the waist; I mean it looks so gorgeous, that you must wear it!
I likey!
Ohhhhh you are a very very good ambassadors för the blog-sphere…. I love your blog!

OK am I the only one who noticed the Foulard de la semaine looks like FLAMES? As in wildfires. Gorgeous nonetheless.
Duchesse – I think it might overwhelm a bag, but if I keep the rest of the ensemble simple, think I can get used to wearing as shown.
Nancy – thank you!
Orane – merci beaucoup. Vous etes trop gentile!
Sal – thanks! After playing with it a bit yesterday, I think I’ll be able to “make it work.”
Sher – well, the jacket’s now in my closet, so I’ll definitely try it! 😉
Sue – thanks! I love the really traditional fall colors, but they don’t seem to be very prevalent this season.
Belle – thanks!
LPC – thank you!
Katriona – thanks, yes, and I’m on the lookout for some jackets in those colors.
materfamilias – you’re right, I do want to wear this. Now all I need is some weather below 80F….
Bonjour Madame – I think you’ll find a good selection of ruffly scarves right now. I’ve seen several recently.
Tishjett – merci beaucoup! I did go back and try on the sweater, and while I love the style, alas it wasn’t cut right for me. But now I’m on the lookout for something similar.
WendyB – that’s me, Style Trendsetter.
;-p
Lindy – it would be fun to wear to the symphony…
Metscan – thanks! I know I’ll find a way to wear it. Can’t let these colors languish in my closet!
Tessa-Scoffs – yikes! Maybe I’ll wait until fire season is over…
Imogen – thank you!
Hi Agneta – welcome and thank you.
Lisa – I think you can wear orange with just about any colors except red and black. If you have any grey or brown tops, these colors look great with those Thank you!
I have a scarf about that same color although, not ruffly, and it hasn’t been out on the town much either. I can never seem to figure out how to wear it. I keep thinking it might work well with a chambray shirt. The color is very nice on you.
I think it is fantastic. Really, it is one of my favorites of your amazing collection.
I think this is a great look on you…sophisticated and not at all “too much!”
Interesting that ruffled scarves are on the way in; I have a very narrow silk oblong scarf that’s ruffled on the long edges and I swear I’ve had the hardest time figuring out how to make it work. If I wear it vertically with a knot holding the two sides together it’s passable.
But while I may be scarf-impaired, I’m not blind… so go for it!
Love it!!!!
