Before we get to the important business of blanket scarves, a big congratulations to
Molly Middleton!!!
You won the monogrammed burlap tree skirt!!! Shoot me an email, Molly!!!
So I realize that I"m like the last person in the world to jump on the "blogger scarf" bandwagon, but I'm on it and plan on staying on it all winter. Why? BECAUSE I GET TO WEAR A BLANKET!!! That's why! :)
If I can wear a blanket disguised as a cardigan then I can definitely get on board with a blanket masquerading as a scarf. Amen. The one I've been wearing the JUNK out of is from TaraLynn's and I was so giddy to wear it I forgot to pick up the laundry in the background of my outfit pic on Friday. Who am I kidding... there is pretty much always laundry in the background of my pics :)
Friday was FREEZING And I wore it with a mustard sweater, military jacket AND puffer vest. Oh, and furry boots to boot.
and I put it on with my leggings and a big cardi to take Griffin to Presley's party on Sunday.
And then I wore it again yesterday with a cream sweater, brown cords, military jacket and TOMS flats.
After posting several pics of my scarf on IG, people pretty much DEMANDED a tutorial on how I wear it without it feeling like it was eating my face :) I attempted a photo tutorial, but I couldn't convey what I wanted to say sooooooooooooo I bit the bullet and made a tutorial video. EEEP!
This is one take, post working all day, cell phone propped up on a box of q-tips and the kids stool.... try your hardest not to be TOO impressed, k? :)
Several thoughts...
1) I should have reapplied my eye makeup
2) I say "good stuff" A LOT
3) What to do with my hands?!?!?! hahaha
I hope that the video and my instructions made sense!!! And that you can all wear your blanket scarves without feeling claustrophobic now :)
The scarf in all my pics above is super versatile adn goes with TONS, but Tara has LOTS of other fun options as well. I love this buffalo plaid and black/white tartan option...
And if you decide to order a scarf, you should probably just go ahead and order one (or all!) of these bracelets...
They're big and chunky and SUPER good quality. They sparkle like crazy and are fun to stack or mix in with other bracelets. They would make really fun Christmas presents for some of the ladies on your list as well!
One last thing about the video.... can we talk about the awkward wave I did at the beginning??? I may post it at the end of every one of my blog posts now like I'm waving "bye". Seriously. I am NOT made for TV ;)
Enjoy your day!!! Now go practice wrapping your scarves! :)
Don't have a FABULOUS scarf to practice on??? No worries! Enter below to win won for yourself!

ReplyDeleteI thought you did great! It is hard to make scarves look casually thrown together :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf! I actually bought a yard of fabric from joanns in a similar print that I was going to sew into an infinity scarf. I bet I could just wear it as is. :)

You know what I loved the most? Getting to hear your voice! It is always nice to be able to connect the fave and the voice, now it really feels like I know you! Love the scarf you showed!
ReplyDeleteYay for giveaway! I have loved scarfs long before there was a bandwagon. Wore the tiny scarfs tied around neck when I worked at Harold Powell (RIP) ca 1998 and been wearing them ever since!!
ReplyDeleteYou are just the cutest! I love reading your blog (came here from Sheaffer and Shay!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial...I love the way those big scarves look on others, but could never figure out how to NOT look like I'm drowning in one!
Jan Fisher

You are too stinkin adorable...love the video! Wondering if you could tie the ends together right away and then wrap it around like an infinity scarf?! That seems like it could work too! I was for sure on the fence about a blanket scarf but you may have convinced me that it won't eat my face, ha!
