Wrapping up the week in a Serenity Blanket Scarf.

It is almost midnight and after a super long and tiresome Thursday (day at work) and a couple of cups of coffee plus a strong iced tea, I am writing this post. Ahhh a blogger's life. But it is Friday and the weekend is here and I enjoy my weekends and try to relax, I hope you all do the same. Thank you to everyone who joined my very first linkup "Thursday Moda", yesterday. The linkup will be open till next Wednesday so there is still time to join. For your convenience, since this is the first week, I added the linkup to today's post, also. Today, also ends an entire week of ALL new Blanket Scarves, I styled here on the blog. I started the week looking very colorful but I am ending it on a Blue Palette that looks quite Neutral. Also, all my Pretty Blues definitely hint to Spring coming soon. However, I had to take these photos indoor by the mantle, due to the heavy snow, freezing cold and all the Snow Madness we experienced here this week.

Also, today for the last time this week I am joined by the lovely EMILY from Darling Dearest. Her and I are wrapping up this 3-day series of styling Blanket Scarves for Winter and early Spring. Completely not planned, but it is funny how her and I both have Spring in mind and brought out some light Spring tones in our outfits today: Serenity (Baby Blue) for me and Mint for her. I just love her dress and different shades of Green by adding that Forest Green Plaid Scarf over the Summery Mint Mini Dress. Check out the rest of this series, my posts (herehere + today's) and Emily's posts (herehere and here). I also want to take this opportunity to thank Emily for being my first co-host of the linkup, this week.

This is my first Chambray-looking button-down shirt I have ever owned and still own. I have had it since I was 19. It is a linen-blend shirt and it is in one of the IT Pantone Colors of 2016 - Serenity. I guess I never got rid of the shirt because of how classic and preppy it looks. Though this is the last time I wore it because it feels small and these days I own a real Chambray shirt plus I prefer my shirts much longer. However, I plan on re-purposing this shirt and when I tell you what I have planned for it, I will blog it. I paired it with Trouser Jeans in a dark Indigo color and decided to go for a tone-on-tone look of all Blues. I did wear a Serenity Jacquard Colorblocked Blanket Scarf on top, carried my Navy Clutch and wore some Gorgeous Royal Blue Suede Pumps I plan to wear a lot more this Spring. I also accessorized with a couple of jewelry pieces from White House Black Market, Cranberry Lipstick and a Red Stone Ring. Despite how simple and tonal this outfit looks, the different textures and scarf worn as a poncho, add interest to it, what do you think? It is an elegant take on the Canadian Tuxedo and you can totally wear it to work (in a relaxed dress code office).

  5. I also loved how we both went with spring brights today:) It's just so fitting how it all worked out. Love that scarf- it's so elegant and classy looking! I like the blue on blue as well. I have a button-up like this that I've because if it's classic-ness too, but mine is also short on me! I just never reach for those types of shirts, so I'm excited to see how you repurpose it! It has been a PLEASURE partnering with you this week, Ada!! Thank YOU for suggesting it:)

  6. A great blanket scarf to transition into spring Ada, perfect color I'd say. Love the subtle retro vibe of the outfit thanks to the slight flare on the pants.

    Thanks for inviting me to the link up & have a great weekend!

  8. Love the spring colors in this look! So impressed you have had the top since you were 19. That's proof of the staying power of a good chambray.
