Tricky though - the shawl has to be just the right length or the look fails. Too much or too long, not so good.Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036511297755937372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-68639032003554269242009-11-23T19:26:41.619-05:002009-11-23T19:26:41.619-05:00I adore this color combination!

The model seems to have an awfully long torso, b/c the belt is above her waist, but there's so much space between the belt and her neck.

The scarf I used was also a lighter material. I got a lot of compliments on it and I wore it with a little dress to balance it out. I belted mine under the breast area like a empire waist.
