Wearing Hermes Grands Fonds Silk Scarf All Year - July through December

Okay, under no circumstances would you wear this scarf with the frankly gym-like outfit for August, but I show this as an example of how your color preferences can permeate and inform ALL of your wardrobe choices.  And yes, I would wear flat loafers with a dress, depending on how much standing/walking is going to be involved in an event.  Plus I just couldn't leave out these great shoes...
