I love how the colors in the scarf tie in with the rest of pieces in this outfit and the accessories.  This was another of my "feel good" looks for myself.  I'm happy with the length of the pants (another pair that I've slimmed down to fit after some weight loss) and my new sandals are super comfy.  I thrifted these a couple of days ago along with 2 other pair that are identical.  These are what I call a butterscotch color.  I also got a pair in white and one in a nude tone.  They were each $5.99 and looked like new so I couldn't pass them up.  I knew these would be a good go to shoe for work, or any occasion, and that I could walk in them comfortably all day.  I really wish I would have been lucky enough to find them in black as well.

 The drape and partial tuck of the scarf into the belt was accidental, but I ended up quite pleased with how it turned out.  Since it has been recommended by some other bloggers that I tuck in my shirts (or maybe belt them)...or I guess just not leave them hanging out loose, haha...I was playing around with adding a belt.  I really thought it accentuated the width of my hips too much, but then was also working with how to wear the scarf and ended up with this look.  I liked it.  I felt much more comfortable in wearing the belt by adding a bit of length in the front and partial covering with the scarf.  I could have tucked it all the way into the belt, but I liked this look best for today.
