Some things in your wardrobe are just irreplaceable. A much loved leather handbag, a worn out pair of perfect blue jeans, a designer evening gown or an accessory like my old pink Indian hand embroidered scarf purchased at a night market in Delhi when I worked for Monsoon/Accessorize. These sentimental pieces are the items I will never quibble over when doing a Wardrobe Wand Wardrobe Makeover .
So it's with difficulty that I find something even vaguely similar to my trustee pink scarf that can brighten up any outfit as well as making me smile whatever my mood. It's so true that colour can affect your emotional well being and as a scarf is worn near to your face its impact will be much stronger. Pink is known to be a warm and calming colour. Research has even suggested that a specific shade 'drunk tank pink' has such a tranquilizing effect that can suppress anger that it's been used in prisons to calm violent inmates!
Whilst this morning doesn't go as smoothly as planned, due to the displacement of a gym kit ,thankfully I don't need to resort to putting on my pink scarf to restore the equilibrium,although on saying that maybe it did help get us to school on time!
Today I'm wearing a Zara batwing polo neck jumper over a wide strap Zara black vest. Lee blue skinny jeans from TK Maxx, Reiss black funnel neck coat and Uterque buckle ankle boots. I've accessorised with my David and Young grey trilby from TK Maxx and my Indian hand embroidered pink scarf.
