Scarves & Bows

Well, it's Monday again- I hope you all had a great weekend!  If you follow me on Instagram (a_fashion_files) then you saw that my husband and I went away to the beach town of Ventura for the weekend.  I'd heard mixed reviews of Ventura, but after learning that it was a haven for antique & kitschy shops, I knew we had to go.  We spent the days at the beach and walked around the small town going from one antique shop to the next during the evenings.  The antique stores did not disappoint and our best purchase was a vintage gumball machine (OK, I know, I know, but I love old things, and my husband loved it just as much, so we had to have it!)  Did you guys have a great weekend?


Speaking of antique things, one trend I've really been loving lately is scarf-print tops & dresses.  However, I could never really find one that I was just in love with.  I wanted a print that had super rich colors and reminded me of a something vintage.  When I saw this one, I knew I had found the perfect style, and when I played around with it a bit, I found that it looked great over a bow-tie shirt.  I paired it with jean shorts, heels & some vintage accessories.  What do you think of my pairing?
