My friend Julia McEwen’s exuberant style sense is a fashion bright spot in any day I see her. She’s the assistant style/beauty editor at Canadian Living magazine. But when she said she’d done an online how-to vid on tying scarves, I showed her my puzzled, are-you-kidding-me? expression. I’m thinking little silk square scarves and wondering how even super-fab Julia could make those things look current.
Well duh. Although I have a few I wear in an attempt to conceal winter blimp-out proportions, scarves aren’t really on my fashion radar. I’m a shoes/bags/jewelry accessories girl. At the words “how to tie a scarf,” I flashbacked to flight-attendant type how-to stories from my mum’s magazines in the late ’70s, early ’80s. I’d forgotten wear-with-everything scarves like this gauze leopard-print number from Smart Set ($16 CAN).
Now inspired by Julia’s Five Ways to Tie a Scarf tutorial, I’m getting into the tying game.
Wait ’til Clive-O gets home.

No chance to wear scarves down here due to our weather. I missed those days when I was living abroad and I love tying scarves in different ways :D
I loved this. In fact, I’m heading out to get the teal-coloured scarf today so I can try my very own half-bow.

Cool vid, will have to look for some scarfs on the next shopping excursion. Just to let you know, though, the url has changed for the video, the one above takes you to a different tip. Here’s the url: http://videos.canadianliving.com/Style-video-7282-How-to-tie-a-scarf-five-different-ways
Where abroad did you live, Nikki? For how long?
I learned stuff, Louise! And I’m looking to stock up now. GAP had lots of great scarves last time I was in. H&M is probably a great place for reasonably priced scarves too, as well as Smart Set. Scarf it up!
Thanks so much, Holly!
