Can I wear taupe with grey?

Rhetoric question of course but poignant nonetheless.    


With DH not working yesterday and no chance of any productive outdoor work on my part, DH and I decided to go to the pictures in the morning. Spur of the moment, you understand, "Salon Fishing in the Yemen" if you must know.

Most pressing question: what to wear? Silk was out of the question but cold and damp lends itself to a shawl. I was in varying shades of grey this morning but the shawl that shrieked loudest to me was Tours de Cles. Mine is the beige/taupe/red colourway and I had never dared to pair this with grey.

 It works (I think) and the red cheered me up no end. One to be repeated.

Another contribution to the "holidays" theme and whilst not depicting a holiday, it was bought whilst holidaying in Paris, on probably a day as cold as today.

Tours de Cles features a contrast hem and depicts keys arranged in a circle and also medor studs. I need to rummage in my old copies of Le Monde as there was an article about this design.

This week's scarf theme is "Mixing prints and patterns", a real design challenge.

One that lets me combine two passions, flowers and silk. The theme also provides a much needed push to get out of work garb and into something more sartorial for Sunday.
