What is something every girl thinks about around this time?
Something that sparkles?!
Something that shines?!
Obviously.
I mean that in the sequin-glitter way, ladies, as I am not looking for any bling-bling this holiday season, reeeeelax! (You can breathe easy, too, SSB!)
The scarf I am highlighting today has a hint of sparkle and shine and still keeps me warm and cozy no matter the season. It's subtle enough to not look like I purchased it from a teeny-bopper store, but bold enough to make a statement no matter the outfit pairing.
Ombre Scarf from Express
I bought this as a birthday present to myself (don't we all do that?!) and have loved it dearly ever since. It literally makes any outfit look that much better. The two-tone effect gives it even more wearability, as well, so this bad boy is a front-runner on the wall of scarves. The others are jealous of its sparkly attitude, it's clearly a diva......
{I know the bottom two don't look like it, but the ends are looped through -- the effect usually looks very polished & not quite as plain as it is portrayed in the above photos, my bad!}
1. Wrap the scarf around your neck once (the classic way)
2. Bring both ends up into the loop and pull them through.
3. Adjust as needed!
(Sometimes I tie the loops after or even "twirl" the circular part to give a braided effect.)
....like I said, simple but polished. This has been my recent go-to style!
I am hoping Santa is nice this year and brings me a new scarf or two for the collection. Perhaps my next "WW" will be a new scarf that was a Christmas present....one can only hope ;)
Until next time, hope you're keeping warm and wrapped up this Wednesday.......................
this scarf is awesome!!!!! Why have I not seen this at express?? & of course we all buy ourselves a birthday gift!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog :)
I love your scarf-tying tutorials! You'd be proud - I've done some experimenting and have branched out a little form my normal boring wrap.
