winter is for (colourful) scarves

We had some warm days last week, but the Real Winter Weather has reared its head now. So we're having some crispy freezing mornings becoming sunny days, which I kind of like. Actually, we're below zero every morning and around 8ºC maximum when sun is high, but it's quite bearable as it's not windy nor wet. Really good weather for walking (and days are a little bit longer!)
My mom bought me this massive scarf and I'm loving it. First time in ages that I have something New (retail!). It's a versatile piece that enhances every colour!. I'm a huge fan of scarves and wear them the whole year round, even if obviously I make the most of them in the winter. I think that there's no reason to wear boring scarves, whatever your style. Some of my favourite ones are vintage, as the quality is so much better. And I always have a look at the scarves in the charity shops (you can find treasures!).

Tuvimos unos días muy templados la semana pasada, pero el Invierno De Verdad ya está asomándose y ahora estamos teniendo unas mañanas heladoras que se convierten en días soleados. Casi que me gusta. En realidad, estamos bajo cero cada mañana y luego como mucho a 8ºC a pleno sol, pero se lleva bien porque ni hace viento ni hay humedad. Un tiempo buenísimo para salir a caminar, por ejemplo, y los días se van alargando.
Este pañuelo tan enorme fue un regalo de mi mamá. Hacía mucho tiempo que no tenía un accesorio comprado Nuevo (es de una tienda local). Está resultando muy versátil y va casi con cualquier color, así que genial. Me encantan los pañuelos y chales, los llevo todo el año, pero evidentemente en invierno les saco más partido. Creo que no hay razón para llevar pañuelos o bufandas aburridas, cualquiera que sea tu estilo. Mis favoritos suelen ser los pañuelos vintage, tienen una calidad muchísimo mejor. Así que siempre echo una ojeada a los pañuelos y chales en las tiendas solidarias y de segunda mano, ¡hay Tesoros!

  3. The scarf your Mum bought you is absolutely fabulous, Monica, and works a treat with your massive flower skirt! The patchwork patterned scarf from the street market is gorgeous too. Both of your outfits are a sight for sore and Winter weary eyes.
    We've been having some colder weather too, just below zero overnight, but only climbing to about 5°C as the sun wasn't able to break through the layer of fog! Love the wintry cityscape photo! Besos xxx
