Welcome to the monthly edition of Match Made in Seven! We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet virtually once a month. One of us chooses a theme each month, and that can be anything: a book, music, a color, a movie. And then we all style an outfit based on that theme.

This month’s theme was chosen by Anna of Mutton Style and is “Best of British.” See my post about the theme below…and be sure to take a look at my fellow bloggers to see how they have interpreted the theme (probably way better than me!) this month.

When I think “Best of British,” I think of Mick Jagger. The inimitable rock star, performer, personality. Now, No One has Mick’s style or presence…and when I thought more on this month’s theme, I envisioned a Union Jack in one form or another…and I could see in my mind’s eye a picture of Mick Jagger wrapped in a Union Jack flag and what could be more cool or more British (besides, perhaps, a spot of tea) than His Highness wrapped in the British flag.

Now, clearly, I’m no Mick Jagger. But I once had a boyfriend who almost was. He loved him beyond the average fan love. He knew every lyric to every song, every move, every facial expression. I was dragged endlessly to every midnight showing of Rolling Stone (AND Led Zeppelin) concert films. Suffice it to say our relationship was heavily inundated with Mick Jagger.

When we were in our teens we wrote lists of the top ten things we wanted to “be” when we grew up. Mine were things like “train conductor,  riding instructor, the person who takes the dimes out of pay phones (I really missed the boat on that one!), and “his.” (I was a riding instructor for many years, so, yay me.) His was “President, Mick Jagger, “hers.” A tad more specific. To his credit, he is currently a circuit court judge in Virginia, so…not so much Jagger, but at least in the direction of President. Boy done good  🙂

OKAY. Have I distracted you enough with stories of long long ago that you’re not really noticing that the only part of my look that says “British” is a scarf? AGAIN? The takeaway here is that scarves are invaluable styling tools and can adapt any look to something else.

So, shockingly, I’m wearing a white tee with black Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, a denim jacket and a union jack scarf. Oh, and red sneakers…cuz I also feel like I can visualize Mick on stage in converse high tops, so…yeah. I’m Just Like Him.
