Look Of The Day: Neon Skirt & a Home Made Scarf! X

Dear Elgin Avenue readers, 

A very Happy Sunday to you all, 

I hope you have been enjoying your weekends relaxing with loved ones. 

Today is mine and my lovely beau's penultimate day in paradise (or what feels like it!). This weekend has been a bit of a devil in disguise - lovely for getting away from the hustle and bustle but cruel for being so darn short! Luckily we have some time pencilled in later in the Summer or I think I may just set up camp here and make my scarves in to make-shift tents. Really!
Neon Yellow Skirt: H&M, Turquoise Belt: Vintage, Cobalt Blue Vest: TopShop Boutique, given to me by my lovely friend Erica, Turquoise Watch: Swatch, Silver Sandals: H&M, Pendant: Courtesy of Caratime - thank you! Tie-Dye Scarf: I Made It! Tote: Gift From the Beau
As you may have guessed, I am a bit of a scarf fanatic! The uses for a do-it-all scarf are endless -  they keep you warm, protect you from the heat, add a little interest to an outfit or a pop of colour...I could go on. This little number that I am wearing today is actually one that I made myself (I am embarrassingly proud of this fact!). 
Despite the fact that this is rather a one off item, I have muddled together some of my favourite colourful scarves which you can buy right about...now! 

1. Rag and Bone Tropical Print Scarf. £113.10 Buy here
2. Aztec Fringed Scarf. £7.50. Buy here.
3. Selection Privee Printed Scarf. £55.41. Buy here.
4. Rag and Bone Waterprint Scarf. £113.10 Buy here.
Right despite not normally being completely enthralled by the sport (read I never ever watch it!), I am rather engrossed by the Italy/Spain match - being in one of the countries and all! I think someone just scored a goal! Must dash!

Have a lovely evening all and a fab beginning to your weeks!

Love,
