Daily Outfit - 01/28/10

Today's outfit is falls right in line with what the Outfit Inspiration Calendar called for - Black and White with Brown Accents. It worked out perfectly too because it gave me a reason to wear this gorgeous muted leopard print velvet Kenneth Cole scarf that I snagged for a deal at a Consignment Store last fall (still has the $90 price tag on it and I got it for $14!). Since the scarf is a mix of brown and black I opted to wear brown boots and a brown belt despite my jacket and skirt being black.

Calli Emma made a guest appearance earlier in the week, but today Smokey wanted to say hi and to make sure you enter the great Shock Boutique Giveaway!

I received a comment inquiring on how I wore my scarf, so I took a close-up once I got home. it's super simple - I just put the long rectangle scarf around my neck and pinned up one of the ends with a large brooch. To finish it off I belted the lower part of the scarf and my jacket covered the end of the drawn up end of the scarf.
