White Shawl - Antiqued with Vintage Gold Brooch
Here is the white shawl yet again! Tied in the same basic way and accented with a lovely vintage 1950′s gold double pin brooch with a chain and dangles designed by Sara Coventry. This would be beautiful paired with a simple gold bangle bracelet , gold rings and gold earrings. I like all the looks we have tried so far, but I think this one is particularly glamorous. It demonstrates my belief that vintage glamor is timeless.
The creamy natural white silk shawl is a perfect foil for gold jewelry which in turn is very flattering to every skin tone. The reason gold jewelry is popular is that it actually does softly flatter women and, if carefully chosen, can be worn with just about anything.
The gold is lovely here paired with the white shawl and would be equally so with a perfect white blouse. I have put it over a basic dark velvet sheath dress. A dark sheath dress, or a dark skirt or pants always work as base pieces under scarves and shawls.
The same white raw silk shawl, again, is tied by International Scarf Stylist Tricia James of scarfgenie.com
Soon, Tricia will give us instructions with pictures to follow on how to do these shawl and scarf ties and variations ourselves. then we will have to practice! I for one am determined to master this!
I should point out that i antiqued the photo one step as I could not resist doing so to enhance the antique feeling just a touch. It just made the photo a tad warmer.
