Donning The Scarf

Dressing for the fickle British summer can often be rather hard due to the fact that the weather is prone to sudden and dramatic changes. Today I am wearing a rather simple outfit to cater for the weather. I started the day wearing a sweater, however as the temperature rose I decided to remove it and opt only for the shirt. Although it is only noticeable upon closer inspection, I am very fond of the design of this shirt. The subtle directional changes of the threading and the shades of blue carefully combined give a wonderful visual texture to the surface.

I have a large collection of scarves, which for me are the perfect accessory to inject a unique quality, creativity and colour to any outfit. Therefore today I decided to wear a scarf I had handmade for me in Syria, which is actually made from dark blue, silver and grey threads. Wearing a scarf on milder summer days can often be one of the most practical choices, as it provides some warmth when the wind picks up, but also when loosely worn in the heat can even provide a protection from the heat. Indeed it is for this reason that scarves and loose layers are regarded as so essential in desert countries, as not only do they protect the wearer from the intense heat of the day, however also help deal with the cold nights.

*Edit* I just finished making some polvoron...it's yummy!
