The 10 Commandments of Scarves

Thursday, November 21, 2013

So my cute cousin Sarah was asking me about scarves the other day and I realized that I had done a 10 Commandments of Belting but that I had left scarves out in the cold. And, since they're totally my favorite way to accessorize, they deserve a little love. So, beginners unite! Let's talk scarves.




1) Thou shalt tie thy scarf in different ways. For whilst a basic tie is nice, thou shalt be more adventurous. Thou shalt also watch this video for ideas.



2) Thou shalt contrast thy number of layers to the size of thy scarf. If thou art wearing lots of layers, thou shalt wear a simpler scarf -- otherwise, thou might lookest like a hipster. If thy outfit is simple, thou can wear a larger scarf.

 

3) Thou shall tuck the ends of thy scarf if thou is wearing a neck with a deep V. It lookest like an ascot and is delightful unto me.



4) Thou shalt belt a voluminous scarf, lest thou be mistaken as with child.
















5) Thou shalt make a boring outfit exciting by using a patterned scarf. I wouldst say "Jazz up" but thou knowest I hate the term. Still, thou shall not be afraid of prints.



6) Thou shalt never drape thy scarf over thy shoulders, for thou art not an eccentric old artist lady.














7) Thou shalt stop being confused about how to wear a scarf when thou shall buy an infinity scarf. Lo, it is one continuous loop and thou needest only slip it over your head. Thou can do that.














8) Thou shalt wear thick scarves during the winter and thin scarves during the summer. Thou shalt look for wool-based scarves right now, because winter shall arrive soon.

9) Thou shalt layer necklaces over scarves, if thou art adventurous.

10) Thou shalt never overthink scarves. Scarves shall be fun accessories and should not be intimidating. If thou art intimidated by an article of clothing, thou shalt be checked by thy doctor for social anxiety.


Thou may also ask scarf-related questions in the comments section.

What if thy bosom is large? Wilst large fluffy scarves make they bosom seem the largest in the land?

Jae said...

If thou hast a large bosom, thou shalt knot the scarf by thy neck, not thy chest. Thou shalt also look for longer, skinny scarves instead of voluminous square scarves.

What shall ye do if thy face is round/fat, thy bosom huge and ye thinkest scarves make thee look fat? What shouldst be done?

Jae said...

Thou shalt try draping a scarf without tying it, especially if that scarf should then be belted. Then there is noways for a round face to look rounder. See also: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/181551428697940720/

What about a square scarf? Are those in style? How do you tie them?

That is Awesome and can you tell me Wholesale Scarves store in USA?

Jae said...

Woah, woah, Tricia... you didn't say it in old timey language so...

JK I think square scarves are better for tying onto handbags or using for hairbands rather than around the neck unless they're oversize. Too short and you can veer into flight attendant territory. If it's a big one, fold it on the diagonal and then just criss cross the ends around the back of your neck so the front is a triangle. That's what I've done in the pic with the leopard scarf and gray shirt.

To complete any dress in my opinion scarves are necessary, specially in winters women love to purchase cheap pashmina scarves to cover the head as it protect from cold.
