The Story of the RADOST "Ceiling" Scarf: Why It Matters to Look Up ... And a Few Styling Tips

9/13/2017

Remember that it’s good to look up. There is great beauty to be seen. And it’s good to have a camera nearby. Here is a black-and-white scarf, called Ceiling, based on a photo I snapped the at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. A lovely architectural gem turned art for your neck.

How did this all start? I went to see a show with a friend. We looked around the Museum and on our way out ... I looked up and froze in my tracks. The ceiling at the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard is such a staple. The wave glass-and-steel roof appears to float over the courtyard and lets in natural light while protecting the visitors from the elements. I am big on textile designs telling stories of actual life experiences and believe this pattern reflects this idea perfectly. The moment of pause and awe; the moment of art stopping us in our busy lives and enriching our souls ...

But onto the practical matters ... Scarves need to be worn to be appreciated and to really bring joy into our lives and closets. So, scroll down and see two suggestions for Fall outfits that incorporate the Ceiling scarf beautifully. The first outfit shows how this op-art like pattern works with color. My friend Dana (who snapped this selfie in Prague, Czech Republic) looks so happy in her salmon-color coat; the scarf ads just the right amount of visual texture and volume. The second outfit is Dana's office wear; what a great idea to layer black-and-white over black. It's classy and classic. But it wouldn't be my fun friend if she did not add a pop of color (look at those great green earrings!). And a smile. That's the best part.

Do you own the Ceiling scarf? Let me know how you style it and how it brings you joy. It's wonderful to connect with you and to hear your story. If you don't have the scarf and like what you see, treat yourself (I mean, who can resist free shipping, right?) ...
