w.i.w. and tying a scarf
Not the best week of outfits. Sorry about that.
But I did put together a how-to of sorts showing how I wear a scarf. We’ll begin with that because the photos are fun.
. S C A R V E S .
I like them and wear them often. I prefer ones that are large and soft
like this one from target {$12.99}
or this one from nordstrom BP {$18}
and if you are the luxurious type, this cashmere scarf is pretty {$98}
but I still have babies with sticky fingers, so my life + cashmere don’t mix well. I like my gray scarf {the nordstrom $18 option} so I’ve used it as my example.
EXAMPLE ONE: loop
EXAMPLE TWO: weave
. . . . . .
And for the ensembles of the week:
1. coat: Banana Republic, shirt: banana, scarf: from my grandma, jeans: Seven A Pocket {for the record, I think I look dorky with my shirt tucked in like that}
2. It’s a cozy day! sweatshirt: old navy, sweats: nordstrom bp – long ago
3. sweater: Old Navy, belt: Target, jeans: Seven A Pocket {look mom, Audrey has on her new sweater}
4. shirt: Martin + Osa, jeans: banana wide leg, scarf: nordstrom
Not totally inspiring … I’ll work on that next week.
. . . . . .
Now go enjoy your weekend and maybe tie on a scarf!

I love scarves!!! How many scarves are too many? 8-10 is normal, right?

I’m actually wearing a scarf today and so I just put your weave tutorial into practice three seconds ago. Thanks!

You DO wear sweats on occasion!!! I wear them FAR too often- but have been getting the bug to start buying cute clothes again- thanks to you!!!
(still haven’t been able to justify the cost of those jeans- ouch!)
Krista
I love the scarf tutorial! I’ve Googled “How to tie a scarf” several times, and haven’t found any I like. I like both of these!!
Heather
Every week that I see this I think “Man, I love those jeans! What are they?” and it’s always your Banana Wide Leg. If I go hunting for these is that all I need to know or are there ten different Banana Wide Leg styles?
krista
Have to let you know that I’m about to go out to dinner with the family and I can NEVER wear my scarves fashionably so I remembered your “tutorial” and now I’m looking stylish with my scarf tied:) Thanks! Krista

Love the scarf tutorial!! I love scarves but only knew how to wear them one way. Now I can’t wait to wear one of these techniques. I think I may just need to go scarf shopping! -UD

I love scarves! Thanks for the outfit pics. For those of us who have little kids i’m happy to know i’m not the only one who wears jeans just about everyday. Somehow you make them look very fashionable! The scarf is a great addition.
Katie
Thank you for this post! I recently bought a great scarf from Gap, but I don’t know how to wear it – it’s a large sqaure shape, rather than long and thin like a normal scarf. Thoughts?

Hi Emily,
Just finished going through the first tutorial on different techniques of wearing a scarf! Wonderful – thank you! This will make warming for winters all the more exciting. Even though I come from warmer lands the cold winters have never been a deterrent to enjoy normal activities, just as I love dressing up! once again thanks for the tutorial!
