The New-again Silk Shirt

OK, first I saw it on Garance Doré's blog...

Then I see it on Tommy Ton's coverage of the fashion weeks..

Then again on Mane and chic's blog...

Well..... in the middle of this series of events, I saw a shirt in this style at H&M, but I only got one size to try on. I liked it, but I need a bigger size but I had to get outta there so I gotta go back soon to try on a size 8 and buy if it looks good.  I will try to snap a pic as well. I think it was about $40, but I am not 100% sure.

I did some research and I didn't see many, but I really like Club Monaco's "Iman" shirt (oh, and STUDENT DISCOUNT!!!) so I will try to check out that sometime soon. I think I prefer this shirt with a voluminous, A-line skirt, but Club Monaco's styling is always on point (en pointe? I dunno).  No pricing info.

You can always go for the Equipment "Signature" Silk Shirt for $178.

Reiss actually has a few nice ones!  I like this sheer brown "Charlie" print for $215:

This style "Chris" has jersey paneling on the side for $175:

If you want to show your guns, go for "Kansas" for $175:

Lastly, ASOS has a boyfriend shirt for $37.07:

Shop Blast: Hair scarves

Remember my little hair scarf phase I went through a few weeks ago regarding music videos? Yeah, I barely do too.

Here are some more inspirations from street style photographers Scott Schuman (the Sartorialist) and Tommy Ton :

 

... and I gotta admit it was a bit tough finding some silk scarves online.

Feel for some animal print and a subtle advertisement? Coach has you covered in this ocelot print for $68:

So do all silk scarves come with logos? FENDI says "si" with this fun yellow "5 Star" scarf for $185.  By the way, only 2 left! If you want it, act quickly.

Hermes, Hermes, claro que si.  Ahem, I mean absolument! If you can’t find a vintage silk scarf, you can get a vintage-inspired design that they stock… It will run you about $305. I really love the comic-inspired print - the French love comics!

For those of you who can cut a straight line a hand-roll a hem, you can cut a piece of fabric to suit your head size and go to town with whichever print at your local fabric store.  Silk is better for your hair because it does not cause breakage, but here are two cotton ideas.  The most iconic fabrics come from Liberty of London and Marimekko.  Liberty prints are usually pretty small and you can get knock-offs at your local fabric store.  Marimekko fabrics are mostly for quirky wall art, but there are some small prints, such as the poppies.  I used a larger poppy print for a skirt that I love.  You can either leave the border unfinished to toughen the look (still stitch all around to prevent as much fraying as possible) or roll the ends under by hand sewing.
