I never really got the whole “scarf” thing.
Not for want of trying, let me assure you; I must have scores of the things secreted away in many nooks and crannies about the house.
I’m a sucker for those multi-coloured displays of silk goodies out the front of Tie Rack www.tie-rack.co.uk and for the billowing racks in David Jones www.davidjones.com.au . I’ll spend hours stroking, perusing, comparing colours and patterns, and then inevitably I get them home, put them carefully away in the knickers drawer then never, ever, ever get them out again.
It’s a kind of madness, I think.
I mean scarves are a great way of injecting some personality into a boring outfit. Unless you’re buying Hermes they’re reasonably cheap and you can find all sorts of treasures in op-shops, they’re wildly collectible, don’t take up too much room, and are very versatile. I found this great website: www.texeresilk.com/cms-scarf_tying_guide.html that walks you through some of the many ways to fold and tie a scarf.
So scarves really are the ultimate frou–frou, and damn-it, this year I’m determined to give them a proper go.
To that end, today I ventured out in a very basic t-shirtandjeans ensemble, but gave the whole look a bit of pizazz with my new spotty scarf from Katies:

I have to say I love reading your blog. I’m terrible with accessories but I love that scarf. I might have to go get myself some scarves!
Yay! I’m so glad you’re enjoying reading, bang83!
I have to admit, I’m not great about accessories, either. I’m learning, though! I’m thrilled I’ve inspired you to experiment with scarves!
This is just an AMAZING outfit on you. The color, the fit, the scarf…its perfect, love it! 🙂
THANKS, Katie! The scarf’s pretty cool, huh? It’s redeemed my faith and scarfdom!
