Today, when I was selecting a scarf, I really wanted to wear something with a lot of red. However, my collection did not present such a scarf, and I pondered. Then I remembered a red scarf that I did have somewhere in the house, which I have not worn for many years. I tracked it down in an infrequently considered drawer, and what a treat!
This scarf was purchased a life-time ago whilst in Roma. As a young Australian girl, with her backpack I felt so embarrassed being around all these glamourous Romans. So I bought a scarf. It helped the outfits somewhat! I also rediscovered these beautiful garnet and pearl earrings which complement the scarf perfectly. Teamed with my new white shirt (thanks Uniqlo- $29!!!) and red lippy, I am all set.
The colour for today is ruby red. One of my two favourite colours in the whole entire world. Not to be confused with orangy-red shades which I don't like so much! There is lots of ruby red in my house:
I like it so much I painted the walls. Have always been amused by the juxtaposition of foot and nostril in this picture.
Happy to include red striped curtains too!
Beautiful embroidery in this family heirloom
Divine stained glass roses - aren't they simply wonderful?
I don't have piles of apples at my house, but how pretty is all that red??
