Accessory Swap - Pansy colors

Pam at Over50Feeling40 arranged an accessory swap a while back. My swap partner was Beryl at Beryl's Tulsa Blog. Beryl and I seem to have similar taste in our accessories. When I saw this scarf, I was immediately in love with the color. It is just so me. I thought it would go with some purple jackets I have, but the colors weren't right together. However, as soon as I saw it with this green jacket, I knew they belonged together. It reminds me of pansy blossoms in the early spring or late fall. I have always been fascinated by pansies. If our winter is not too cold, we can have pansy blossoms in mid winter.

Beryl sent the scarf, a bracelet, and gold shoes. The bracelet was too small, (she thought I was petite--nice compliment, but petite I am not) so I decided to use it like a scarf slide. It works perfectly for that and adds a really neat touch to the scarf. The shoes are a bit small for my heat swollen feet, so I just slipped on the toe area and faked it.

This was really a lot of fun and I hope we can have another accessory swap in the future. You will notice that the pictures are taken inside today. It was 110 outside and I could not tolerate standing outside with a scarf around my neck no matter how pretty it is.
