Givenchy Scarf + Topshop Coat | The Style Scribe

Although I talk on and on about the importance of owning basics and neutrals, sometimes you just need a statement or colorful piece to brighten up your look! I found the perfect periwinkle blue coat at Topshop while in New York for fashion week, and was counting down the days until I could sport it in London! If I had to choose my favorite color (other than black), I’d have to say blue – I have a lot of navy, cornflower and powder blue in my closet, so this coat fit right in! When THE OUTNET said I could pick out a few things to shoot while in London, I immediately looked for accessories that would compliment, but not take away from, the coat. First, I found this gorgeous Givenchy scarf – I love the pink, powder blue and black color scheme and the mixed print of roses and chains. It looks wonderful around the neck (figure out all the fab ways to tie your scarves here), but just as pretty tied onto a handbag.

Speaking of handbags, the other item I chose for this look was a classic leather bag in a fashion forward silhouette – obviously this trendy (but timeless) bucket bag fit the bill. It’s another winner from THE OUTNET’s Iris & Ink collection and under $250. Be sure to check out all of THE OUTNET’s incredible pieces here.

PS – Happy Halloween! Since I just got back from London last night, I’ll probably be laying low this weekend to catch up on sleep and cure the jet lag. Hope you all have a safe and fun weekend! Can you believe November starts tomorrow? This year is just flying by…
