For me, it’s not easy finding the perfectly worn in semi sheer scarf.
I see countless draped around the necks of lovelies on the streets in New York year round. All in different textures, sizes and colours – tassles optional like this super bright one. I live in my black one by Love Quotes but it’s…..black. Safe and boring. The above one stopped me in my tracks long enough to take the shot but not ask where did she get hers. #FAIL
It looks like something faded out and softened after several washes – although these days what really is when anything can be bought to look like it is?
Thx to a couple of readers (thank you!) they identified it from Free People. Apparently this version above is sold out (crap!) but I settled on the grey and blue version. I’m already imagining a couple of ways to wear it including draped over shoulders.
Not that you hadn’t already guessed it, but yes I caved and got it here. If anyone spots a Union Jack version, do a girl a favour will you and let me know?

Hey you changed your banner! I like! I liked your other one though too..
I like that scarf! I was thinking it was an old American flag used as scarf. Couldn’t you do that? Given you find one in the right material.
I also like her Tory Burch fold over bag.
Karen says:
Good idea although it’s rare to find 1st the right size and 2nd the right material : (

I love the relaxed, almost too-worn, look of the scarf. So sorry you couldn’t find the colours you wanted though!

You should try the Free People stores. There is one in Soho that had some similar scarves before. It’s very cute. I love free people.

I know what you mean about not going for the safe and boring option! Definitely prefer the one you got over a plain black one. 🙂

The Topshop in Edinburgh has a little range called “Maggies Farm”. The girl who designs/owns this range also has a little shop in Dundee in Scotland. She’s selling an American Flag scarf. Here’s the link to her facebook page and the image!

I love that scarf. I wanted to buy it when I was in New York since the Free People shipping to the UK is quite a lot against the price of the scarf but I couldn’t find it in any of the stores 🙁 I still want it!
