As you should know by now, McArthurGlen designer outlets are having a nationwide Fashion Fling. It started on the 6th April with some fabulous Grazia led styling classes, and events and runs until this Sunday 21st April. I have been taking part in the Style Challenge for the last fortnight. Styling two pieces kindly gifted by McArthurGlen in Ashford.
This week as been the real challenge – how to style the Lacoste Live scarf. Especially since it is smaller than your normal waterfall scarf and square. Tricky, to say the least – and I’m not really a scarf wearer so I have struggled. I’ve even taken to watching youtube videos on “25 ways of how to wear a scarf” for inspiration. To be honest it’s not helped me too much but I have tried to be creative.

So for this style challenge the theme was going shopping with the girls and the Lacoste Live scarf really reminds me of summer holidays and travel. So I couldn’t wait to wear my most jolliest skirt I have that features a gorgeous little seaside theme in corals, minty greens and blues on a white backdrop. Here I have styled the scarf on my handbag. I’ve seen this on many bags you can buy in store with the scarf already on and I have seen ladies style a scarf in this way.. I think I left it a little too free-flowing. But I like the twist it gives to my cute coral satchel bag.
I’m wearing the Lacoste Live scarf with:
- Black Vest Top from French Connection
- Seaside Skirt from Primark
- Coral Satchel Bag from Accessorize
- Coral Heels from shoe boutique in New Zealand
Then I got a little crazy and thought – “how about a head scarf?” hmm it was fun but it’s not a look I would leave the house in!

Now for a look for a dinner date. I’ve just bought this fab new Duchess dress from Louche for my summer holiday and I couldn’t wait to style it up a little. I decided to go for a belt concept with the scarf this time to add some depth to the look. A skinny style belt and a sash japanese style Obi belt. Sadly you can’t see much of the print this way but I like how it breaks up the colour and gives it a little twist.

Thanks for checking out my style challenge these last few weeks; the scarf was pretty tough but it’s been fun. McArthurGlen have some great pieces for Spring/Summer available now. It’s not all last season, just because it’s a designer outlet. Head to your nearest one and see what’s in-store waiting for you! Happy Shopping!
