Outfit 30 - Blue Skirt + Floral Scarf

For those of you who have followed me recently, you probably know that I am OBSESSED with this blue color, which obviously explains why I just *had* to have it!  It was from the clearance rack of Forever21, before my thrifting days.  The scarf was thrifted though.  :)


Is this the first time I have ever featured a scarf?  Maybe!  And in summer too, no less!  What great timing!  *Slight sarcasm there* =P  I wanted the scarf to be useful as a shawl, which is what I attempted in the first picture.  Here, I made sleeves!  Hahaha.


I just tied it like I normally would...one of the few ways that I know how.

 

In this picture, I decided to get creative, and I can proudly say I did this all on my own (though I'm sure this is not an original scarf knot or anything!)  I also thought the color of this cardigan went well with the skirt. 


Here's a close-up of the bow.  What's lame is that I'm pretty sure I won't be able to replicate this without much trying.  =P


And here's the scarf that was used!  The colors are a feast for the eyes!  :D

  3. that is the prettiest bow-knot-tie thing I've seen done on a scarf! I can't seam to do anything with scarves than the usual, most basic way to wear them.

  4. I love how you tie the scarf into sleeves. The bow is so cute too (it reminds me of something Peggy Olson might wear in Mad Men Season 1, when Joan told her "Men love scarves.")
