Lanvin and Park Avenue...interlopers in the Humble Bungalow!

When it comes to scarves 
I am wooed by Hermes and luxe silk
handrolled edges

 I can be persuaded to purchase other designers scarves
and here's an example


a foray into orange
with the safety net of navy and white


Park Avenue shirt
softest cotton
and 
it is made for a man
but worn by a woman
because...


the quality
is Luxe



I feel very comfortable wearing a man's shirt
I can wear it with the collar and cuffs turned up
and tucked into jeans
or layer it over a white tank
open
or loosely belted
simple
yet 
dare I say
chic!

is there a certain look or style that makes you feel more confident ?
....like my happy red shoes

VERY stylish Hostess. I bet you feel high wearing the pictured. I might add that I feel a bit of envy for people, who can wear white shirts and scarves with nonchalance.

Shirt, scarf and necklace = divine.

At the mention of your happy red shoes I have resolved to purchase the pretty red flats I spied yesterday.
Fingers crossed when I revisit today these beauties have not already been sold!!

metscan-I feel comfy and more "me" wearing these...nothing haughty at all!

Blighty-Scarves are such a great source of colour and fun...and often very affordable.

Anne Marie- I hope that you found those red shoes!

Janet- I still love those red cowboy boots of yours!!

You had me at the pearls! A timeless look.

La Vie Quotidienne- Merci beaucoup!
I'm having fun playing around different looks.

Duchesse- I often wonder what made me into such a pearl girl.
Do you know why you love them so much?

I love the way you have the scarf over the shirt, with pearls at the throat. I have always worn the scarf over the pearls and know it isn't quite right. All your pieces are divine.
