So you want to dress like Nina Proudman (Part 9)

Let’s just agree from the outset that Asher Keddie plays a superb drunk Nina. I felt woozy just watching her and nearly peed myself when she decided to hide behind the pot plant.

I also noted to self that should I ever find said self in a similar situation again on the rare occasion that I am having a big night, that I’m actually a) not funny and definitely b) in desperate need of Panadol and a good like down.

I’m going to talk about scarves this week – and specifically how Nina has worked certain types of scarves into her signature look – but before we do, let’s discuss the things we thought we’d never see Nina wearing in public:

1. A green sheet wrapped like a strapless gown: sorry, too, too funny … waking up in a strange apartment and then walking downstairs to a crowded cafe. So Nina.

2. A trucker cap. But you’ll be pleased to know, thanks to Twitter and sports nut Mr Styling You, we have an exact match on the trucker cap. Yep, knew you’d want that

We’ll just put these style departures down to a few too many at Tuff Muff, shall we?

But talk about a style bounce back.

Didn’t you just love how Nina had her “uniform” of taupe boots, skinny jeans, cami, white flowy top and scarf at the ready in her locker at work? Nina’s not silly. She knows her style and what works for her so has these go-to pieces at the ready. You can too.

I’ve covered this look in other posts so I thought it was timely today to talk about scarves.

This week I received a couple of emails pointing me in the direction of some new scarf sources … this excites me. And I thought it might excite you.

We’ve got a splurge and a budget option because I like that my scarf wardrobe contains a mix of budget and designer.

The designer ones are more likely to be hand created, of a limited print and in a fancier fabric. Something very special. Because they’re timeless – and an accessory – I allow my budget to occasionally stretch a bit further on them. Other times, I’m all about the budget find. Especially the budget find that doesn’t look like a budget find.

Scarf splurge

Bay & Fyfe scarves ($169 each) feature art from ex-Sneaky Sound System’s Daimon Downey.  They are made from a super fine wool with a slouchy, casual look to them that dresses up a winter outfit and keeps you warm. Only 400 of each is produced and they’ve been seen on the likes of Miranda Kerr, Kylie Minogue and Nicole Kidman.

Scarf budget buy

Styling You reader Kel wrote to me this week to say she’d fallen in love with Hug Me Harry and had just ordered a scarf as it looked Nina-ish and was very much suited to Kel’s budget. Hug Me Harry sources local and international products and works directly with artists and artisans to bring handcrafted pieces not available anywhere else in Australia.
