Lsst Friday I went to the green market in Times Square which is very conveniently located a few steps away from the JCrew "flagship" store on Fifth Avenue, so I decided to stop by and peruse the sale section. I only bought a belt that I had been eyeing for a while and is now very cheap but while I was there I saw the most beautiful scarf on a manniquin. I don't fall for scarves very often but I had to have this one. It is a silk scarf in the same print of the Collection silk chiffon blouse. I had never seen this scarf before and it didn't come up when I looked for it on the website; however, since I was in Europe when the honeycomb blouse came out it is possible that it sold-out on the website and I just missed it.
I love the honeycomb print and I tried the blouse a couple of weeks ago but it was a bit too serious-looking for me. I tried a 0 and the fit is TTS. It is also surprisingly LESS sheer than what it looks like from the website pics (it comes with a navy cami but from what I remember the silk chiffon itself is not THAT sheer):
As I said I tried it a couple of weeks ago and I don't remember how the fabric felt at the touch and if it is the same silk chiffon used for the scarf. I would imagine that it is the same but the scarf is very sheer and delicate so maybe it is a different weigth:
At $72.50 it is quite expensive for a scarf but I don't think it is overpriced as it is quite big. Look, it covers my sofa almost entirely when unfolded:
The color combo is just beautiful (the background is navy and this was a selling point for me as I have a lot of navy jackets/outwear):
The ends are fringed and not unraveling:
It looks great belted over a blazer (a look that I don't usually go for since I am petite but I think that this print doesn't overwhelm me and I can pull it off if I wear boots or heels):
This is a pic of the tag in case you want to look for it in a store:
What do you think of the honeycomb silk chiffon scarf? Anyone else has it? What about the Collection blouse? Is it on your wishlist this Fall? Please share!








Hi Ema - I have this scarf too. I talked about it a little here. I like the drape of it, though I find it almost too big. Unfortunately, the first time I wore it, several threads pulled out of it so I'm not sure if it was a good investment or not.
ReplyDeleteKNOT SURE Happy Monday Ema. Thanks for review and funny size visual! I have been eyeing the "honeycomb" scarf since Cate posted about it. It is supposed to be online in October and has not appeared yet in the one Canadian store that is close to me. I <3 the navy & brown colourway and don't think it's an outrageous price for silk/size. Will have to see in person first given the unravel/ too delicate for regular wear fear.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors too, but I would be afraid it would catch on everything- especially a belt buckle. I like the way you paired it with the blazer.
ReplyDeleteScarves are one thing I will not pay a lot for. This one is pretty and very large but I hunt them down at bargain prices. I own hundreds that I have found over the years overseas and in the UK at charity shops as well as a bit off season at Talbots. I got cashmere ones at Talbots end of the season for about $10-12 each normally $100+ and yes they are super soft and gorgeous:) Just wanted to let others know in case they want to start an insane collection as mine:)
