Paris: Strangers in scarves
Because I’m awake, and thinking of scarves...what else, at 6 am., too early to have breakfast?
My sense of community leads me to grab street shots of locals in Montreal, but feels invasive here. If I were heedless about privacy, I would shoot the mature, rather than the young, who are beautiful everywhere. Once out of their twenties, most women's scarves are of good quality and even in spring, full sized.
Some of the best are by Inouitoosh, whose boutique I visited with Huguette. You can buy them online! They are fanciful but not juvenile, and the colour combinations are arresting, those 'almost off' shades, in many palettes.
Below, carré "Benoit" in anis nude, in a silk/modal blend. Price, €150.
The fanciful "Gili" (cotton-modal blend) shows summer sea life and is fresh and pretty on a shirt. Price, €70.
I haven't bought one; plenty of time to think it over.
The most audacious yet )relatively) accessible things I saw were by Carven; some of the clothes are classic and quiet but then... this skirt, which of course was in the window.

Equaly important is trading tips and sources withbreaders, and discussing life beyond scarves!
This belongs in the skirts post, but I don't want it to go too far back in the line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rokjesdag Skirt's day, or "little skirts day" in the Netherlands, but that doesn't necessarily mean minis, or xxs skirts. It is the first day most women (who wear skirts) wear them without leggings, tights or hose. In casual environments it might mean both men and women wearing shorts.
I hope you are a little more rested, but a relaxed holiday can be as pleasant as an always on the go one.
