Brick and Burberry.

OK, so the title of today's post refers to the two most visible items I am wearing today: my Blazer (Brick) and my Plaid Blanket Scarf (Burberry). These items also happen to be Brand-New and Gifted to me (Lucky me - I know).

Now I don't own the Infamous Blanket Scarf that almost every single blogger has. It is pretty yes, but I don't have it. However, when I was gifted this Gorgeous Orange Plaid Burberry Scarf from a cousin I was in Fashion Heaven. I am not sure if it is the real thing or not, but it is a soft wool-blend material, in a bright happy orange, warm+cozy and I love it, whether it is real or faux Burberry. On  the other hand, my brother purchased this Blazer for me as a gift, since I started a new, full-time job. He also purchased a couple of other pieces for me and I must say he has great taste. This Brick/Rust Blazer with the Black Faux Leather Lapel is a Statement Piece for sure. And the Brick Color compliments the Bright Orange quite well, I think. I kept the rest of the Outfit simple, with a Mellow Yellow Tee underneath, my Cropped Black Dressy Pants & Brown Wedge Oxfords. What do you think? Have you jumped on the Blanket Scarf Bandwagon yet?
