Black and blue on Monday

Happy Monday to you all. First, I would like to apologize for not commenting on blogs this past week. I am afflicted with vascular headaches and occasionally I have them for days on end. This past week was one of those occasions. Consequently, I did not spend much time on the computer. I am hoping that this week I will have more time to view all of my favorite blogs.

I am not sure why, but lately I have been wearing a lot of black. My outfit for today consists of black, white, and accents of blue in scarves. I wanted to show two different scarves with the same outfit. I ended up wearing the more vivid blue one in the second photo. 

I love the jacket I am wearing. It is a very soft leather with a patent snake print on it purchased several years ago from Chico's. This scarf is from Brightly Twisted, a Michigan company. The scarves are dyed and manufactured in the USA from imported fabric.  Each scarf is uniquely beautiful. (I am not affiliated with the company in any way and purchased the scarf myself.)

Harry decided to perform a 'stuffinectomy' on his ball toy. Stuffin' was flyin' for a while.
Leather Jacket: Chico's
Blouse: Chico's
Pants: Chico's Floral Lace
Scarf: Brightly Twisted
Shoes: FSNY
 
The second scarf I wore is one I purchased from Marshall's. It has a beautiful cobalt, black, and gray print. It's a very light weight chiffon and is very easy to style. I have been obsessed with scarves and wearing them most every day. A scarf can take a plain outfit to chic and polished. It is a great way for someone who lives a very casual life to jazz up almost any outfit.

  1. I like the pop of the blue, on both scarves, against the black & white. That Harry, he seems like a character!

  4. Sorry for the nasty headaches, they do immobilize us, don't they? Hope you're feeling better and you certainly *look* great in this fab jacket with multi-scarves. Hey Harry - you've got a very mischievous face! Thanks for linking up.

  5. I'm so sorry about your headache. My sister gets them as well so I know how terrible they can be.

    I love both of the scarves, especially that first one. The way you tied it is great!

  6. Harry's on a mission. The scarves look great and you're right, they do really liven up an outfit. Hope it's an all clear with the headaches. They are no fun.

  9. So sorry you have been afflicted by dreadful headaches Debbi. It has not dimmed your style; the jacket is gorgeous (feel my envy!), and both scarfs look wonderful. Cobalt blue is one of my absolute favourites!!

  12. Warning: I would not click on any of the "anonymous" commenter links!

    I like both scarves but the first is my favorite. Sometimes the glow of the screen bothers my eyes. I recently received a smart phone and trying to read on that little screen is enough to do me in.

    Hope you feel better this week!

  17. I've been craving the dark side too- lots of black are sneaking back into my closet. Practical, easy to match and well, just chic. Love your little flats!

  18. I love black and white...so classic. The beautiful color of the scarves adds a wonderful touch.

  19. Love the scarf, and the dog is the perfect additional accessory! (Bigger than mine, and mine are both over 100lbs!) The jacket almost looks sequined, which is a terrific effect!

  23. dear debbie,
    your leather jacket is amazing. i think a cute black leather jacket is one of the basics a woman should have in her wardrobe. i love the shining of yours. to add the blue scarfs is a good idea, can not say which one i like best, both are pretty.
    i see that harry is doing the stuffinectomy with high concentration, good boy!

  24. I love how you wear black ... looks great on you. And every other color, actually. Aren't scarves and a little sparkle the best for current casual dressing? One of the best things ever to happen to a sequin is letting it see the light of day!
    Hope you feel much less achy very quickly.

  25. He loved the stuffing right out of that ball!

  26. Both scarves are great accessories with that gorgeous leather jacket. I too love scarves and find them everywhere I go, mostly at estate sales. They're an inexpensive way, as you say, to jazz things up. Harry is another way to jazz things up!

  27. I love your style tips about using scarves to dress up an outfit! So true and your scarves are always beautiful, Debbi!!! ~Sarah

  28. I've been wearing scarves too! I agree, they can dress up any outfit. I think I am partial to the first one. I love all your brooches, I have a collection too, but not as extensive as yours. I don't wear them, but will keep 'em.

  31. Great colors in the first scarf.... My favorite.

    Glad that headache ran it's course and is gone. How miserable you must have been :((

  32. Oh, you are so right about scarves spicing up a look, and you do it so well. You look very polished with a teensy naughty or fun edge with that fantastic patent leather jacket. Wow! Harry is also a showstopper with his stuffinectomy LOL! I hope you feel better. I've been absent for a while - work, life - so it's nice to drop in again.
