Quick Review: The Birth Scarf #milaandsuch 

Recently I was contacted by a company to review a scarf. I must admit, I’m not normally a small scarf girl but the cause behind this scarf drew me right in.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month (October) and the time to celebrate survivors and show love to those less fortunate with this disease is now. My aunt is a breast cancer survivor and had a double mastectomy a few years ago. She’s alive and well and that makes my family history of breast cancer paternal AND maternal. That being said, this scarf is so beautiful in meaning alone.

As far as design, it’s stunning in person. At first, I was going to style this scarf with an entire outfit look. I changed my mind as I wanted others to see this scarf up close and personal. So I styled it in my hair as an accent. I loved it best that way. The quality is amazing! It’s made of silk and the colors are so vivid! This scarf doesn’t tear up easily. Trust me, it got in my daughter’s hands very briefly and it came back in one piece lol. It’s not super thick but provides enough warmth for around the neck in cooler weather. PIr with a white tee, navy trench and a pair of jeans for a complete look! The designer is a survivor and put her heart into this scarf. Show some support and love. Head over to www.mila-such.com

Urban Runway

I’ve a bit uninspired partly due to this tragically bland weather we call winter. (Insert eye roll) Beyond being too cold to garner the gusto to get out, I’m just ready to wear sandals and summer maxi dresses. I miss curly hair and lighter hair color… I could go on and on. In order to grasp a teeny bit of spring, I grabbed a bright, bold colorful scarf from Target. 

I wore the scarf in a Rosie the Riveter kind of way. I added hoops to emphasize the “casualness” of the look. My outfit is pretty casual anyway but I added extra “leather” to create a bit of an edge so the look isn’t basic. Nothing wrong with jeans and a tee but that wasn’t the goal here. Since the look is so casual and edgy, I decided against a handbag of any sort. 

I’m finding inspiration in the cityscapes and surroundings in the city so my muse was a gritty but “tattooed” alley. I felt this alley was perfect as my runway. It had been years since I’ve seen actual alley cat but I saw one this alley. A true sign of vitality in the area. Anyhoo, the walls of this alley lended the perfect scene around my runway. Check out my catwalk…
