Let open that "orange" box

Okay..what's up Blogger?!?! It seemed to be some technical problem on Friday since my previous post play peek-a-boo and my comments were goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I was not a scarf person, it was not a part of my wardrobe until I discovered the beauty of Hermes scarves. The print and the vibrant colors simply lured me in this dangerous bright orange side of the earth - an area which I had never imagined visiting. Their scarves are like no others I have seen. It is a piece of art, a real labour intensive piece of delicacy, it is not just a scarf but a wearable masterpiece. I used to think that scarf was for older ladies but it really depends how you style and choose your scarf. A person can look good or bad, stylish or disastrous, young or old. It can go either way. I was quite overwhelmed with countless designs, it was hard to judge which one look good when folded. You just have to ask an SA to unfold, tie and style it in order to see what it looks like being knotted, tied and etc. I picked this one based one what I saw on a display, they used it as a halter top and I liked the colorway.

After some intensive research on the making of Hermes scarves and those weeks gluing to my computer screen on the Purse Forum, I was amazed...totally blown away by how versatile one scarf could be. There are endless ways to wear and style it, literally, all you need is some creativity and imagination that will produce endless possibilities. On another note, Purse Forum is an amazing place to visit if you are looking into buying designer items. It has TONS of great information from bag lovers and enthusiats.

I wore it as a loose halter top and used a bolduc ribbon as a skinny belt. I still need a lot of practice with this scarf as you can see it's too loose on the sides.

Hermes bolduc ribbon can be used as accessories too, isn't that great?!?!?!

You may have come across a few tips or bloggers that suggest ways to wear scarves but this lady's (www.maitaipicturebook.com) creativity is beyond my imagination. In addition to her scarf wearing tips, she has tons of helpful information as how to pick a (Hermes) scarves. Every single one of her scarf was carefully picked and she wear all them them beautifully and so classy. My most favorite style is "cashmere shawl as a tunic". One of the points which she suggests is to make sure it compliments you, not overpower you or make you look washed out. It is so true because Hermes scarves are vibrant, colorful and look busy. It is not something I want to order online because you want to see and try it in person to see how it looks on you.
