Fall Fashion Accessory

I have been honored to have my work noted by Susan Bigsby, Personal Image Makeover Consultant, in her most recent newsletter!

Here’s what she had to say:

“This is the perfect time of year to add a beautiful scarf.  Even though we’re changing seasons, it’s still very warm for many of us throughout the country – and it’s hard to even consider the idea of fall clothes!  This is an easy way to at least give us the notion!

I always try to promote unique and talented accessory designers whenever I come across them.  This gorgeous scarf was handpainted by Jamie Kirkell at Kirkell Silk Studios.  I particularly like the colors of this scarf as it depicts fall, but is more transitional and not as heavy as some deeper tones can be.  Gorgeous!”

You can find the entire newsletter here.
