The 6 Remix: Neutral Gray Plaid Blanket Scarf for Fall.
Today I am back with a "6 Remix" type of post. I do these posts every now and then where I show you how to mix 6 different pieces into 6 different outfits or one piece (like today) into 6 different ways. Today, I decided to style a must-have Fall Accessory (more than an accessory I'd say): the Blanket Scarf. My Pinterest feed and Thursday Moda linkup have been full of them in the last month or so and several bloggers have done posts where they have showed different ways to style them, too. But most of the ones I have seen styled different ways, are the colorful plaid blanket scarves or the ones with reds and creams. I wanted to show you how to style a Soft Neutral Blanket Scarf for a pretty warm Fall. My Scarf is a Neutral Gray (with white) and it seriously goes with so much!
All 6 of these outfits were shot on November 6th. I meant to actually compile this post that day but it ended up being a busy Sunday and when I had some free time I decided to spend it with Vivian and enjoy our gorgeous warm sunny Sunday instead. I ended up wearing the Distressed Denim Layered Outfit during the day and the one with the Red+Navy Plaid Dress in the evening that day. A few days later I also wore the outfit with the Sweater and Aztec Skirt, to work. But I will be honest, there haven't been many days where we have needed to bundle up with warm blanket scarves thus far, this Fall. The few times I have used mine, I have used them as a jacket or poncho rather than around my neck. I even showed you an outfit with a Blanket Scarf on Monday which you all loved. In today's post, for all the outfits I have focused mostly on the clothes rather than the jewelry. I only have a necklace on the first and last outfit, for example. And I have worn my Camel Leather Block-Heel Sandals a few times this Fall when it has been in the 60s and 70s.
Here is my 6 Remix post with my Neutral Gray Plaid Blanket Scarf, today (finally).
And on each widget I have featured a different Gray Plaid Blanket Scarf, lots of options for you to browse and/or buy! Take a peek!
Neutral Gray Plaid Blanket Scarf with Layers and Distressed Jeans.
This is what I'd say is a typical Fall Mom Outfit on a busy day, running errands, chasing after a toddler. It is comfortable, put together and the kind of outfit you can take layers away from, when you get warm. I paired the scarf with a White+Gray Striped Lace-up Tee, a Long Olive Green Cardigan, Light Wash Distressed Blue Jeans and my Blush/Light Pink Suede Loafers. I also accessorized/layered the blanket scarf with a matching Ombre Gray Tassel Necklace by Jacket Society. Vivian was being her sassy and happy self and wanted to be in some of our photos.

Neutral Gray Plaid Blanket Scarf with Black+White Striped Sheath Dress and Bright Floral Pumps.
I love mixing plaid with stripes. One of the best way to do that with a blanket scarf is with a striped dress. Since the blanket scarf is loose and bulky, it would look best with a Fitted Striped Dress, like a sheath (as I did here). This look would be perfect for work with the addition of pumps since booties are more casual and should be more weekend-appropriate here. I decided to add a third pattern and pop of color with my Gorgeous Teal+Hot Pink Floral Pumps. You can try a Plaid Blanket Scarf with a Striped Button-Down Tunic and Skinny Jeans (plus Booties or Boots) for a more casual look.

Neutral Gray Plaid Blanket Scarf with Burgundy/Cream/Navy Plaid Shirtdress and White Leather Sneakers.
Last but not least I wore my Plaid Blanket Scarf with a Plaid Shirtdress. Plaid with more plaid?! Sure, especially for Fall. The trick to this is for one of the patterns to be either smaller, neutral or more subdued. So my scarf is gray and white and it went well and didn't look overwhelming with the Burgundy/Navy/Cream Plaid Dress. I loved this Athleisure Look with the White Leather Sneakers and even got a few compliments on it.

ReplyDeleteLove how you styled this grey blanket scarf in so many ways Ada! I think my fav is how you wore it over the chambray dress and tied around the waist with a belt.

Blanket scarves are so versatile, I love mine. I've thought about cutting them in half to cut down on the bulk, but that would limit the styling options. Of course the denim is my favorite...and I'm really loving the hair!

Ada, this is such a great scarf! Of all the scarves I own (and there are a lot), I don't have a gray plaid blanket scarf. I may need to get one! I love all of the looks your have created. My favorite is the first outfit, I think, mostly because you caught my attention with that pretty coordinating gray tassel necklace. I always put my necklaces under my scarf. I never thought to layer the necklace on top of the scarf....and I really like it! Thanks for the idea and for the link up!
