Foulard de la semaine
As you may have surmised from my garb, our LA weather has turned cool and wet again. My poor little Printemps cotton scarf picked up on our first Paris trip is looking a little frayed about the fringe. But I love this light-but-warm, casual foulard that seems to go with everything, and that I can just toss in the wash when it needs freshening.

Hmmm – “toss it in the wash” – maybe that’s connected to “looking a little frayed”? Anyway, it looks great.
Rita – no doubt! But it would probably cost about as much to have it dry cleaned twice as I paid for it, so in this case I am embracing the aesthtic of “shabby chic.” 😉
The color is great with your hair.
Mom says, never stash your sweaters until after Easter. Mom is always right. Sigh. Why can’t I remember that every spring? It’s not like it’s my first.
Have a blessed weekend!
It’s Friday but Sunday’s comin’!
Brr…looks chilly there!
I like the colors and the way you have it tied.
I agree with everyone. Those are great colors for you.
A washable scarf is a big plus! I’ve seen instructions for handwashing Hermes scarves but haven’t risked it. Do you have any of those slightly rough-spun Thai silk scarves (same size as one you’re wearing)? They wash so well!
Cool foulard, love the colors with your hair! Why’d it get so cold here again just when I’d stashed my winter stuff?
I’m with Belle – that is fab color combo for you, lady.
Lovely colours on you.
Out of curiosity, what is your favourite foulard shape and size? You have such a collection.
Belle – thanks!
Karen – thank you. I’ll admit I’m secretly pleased to be able to squeeze a few more days/weeks out of my favorite sweaters and scarves.
Sal – thanks a bunch! Be on the lookout for your book, should be there early next week.
dana – I tend to wear my sweaters well into June here, at least in the mornings when it tends to be cool and foggy. Most of the rest of the country has “sweater weather” in the fall and spring; ours is from January to June!
Parisienne Farmgirl – thanks, and you too!
WendyB – yup. But I’m not complaining, better scarf weather!
Bonjour Madame – merci bien!
Modest Mom – thank you.
Duchesse – I don’t have one yet but will definitely be on the lookout.
Imogen – thanks. As to my favorite shape, it’s a tossup really. Silk squares lend themselves better to a more polished look, and the oblongs are more casual and easier to wear. For someone starting out wearing scarves, I’d recommend an oblong from soft material.
Mervat – thanks, and I will. 🙂
Shabby chic or not it is a lovely scarf. Kepp enjoying it and the memories it gives you!
