   I’m the same way. I have a few beautiful scarves, but I’ve never known how to tie them properly. Maybe after work tonight I can mess around with them and see if I can’t get them to look nice

   Kari: Hehe. Seems like a usual story for folks like us. Anyway, if you do give it a go, share photos, okay?

   Oh, this is great! Hula girl that I am, I don’t go anywhere without my hula sarong, but because it’s winter (-32C with the windchill right now!), I’m using it as a scarf. It’s nice and warm! But when I go places where I take off my coat, I like to keep my sarong/scarf on. It’s nice to find new ways to wear it. Thanks!

   I did this this evening but I must admit that my huge, bulky, wool scarf did not look nearly as cute as your results! Oh well.

   It’s a good thing I tried something different, though. I was wrapping that bad baby around my neck three times because of the length. It’s a new scarf but still, you’d think that spending my whole life in a snowy area would have taught me a little something about wearing winter clothes, lol.

   Jeanne: Hehe. Anyway, yeah, I found though that it seems to have something to do with the actual scarf. More than the design/pattern, the length and shape it has will determine on how good it will look when worn. I didn’t know it before too, but some scarves are also meant to be worn just as accessory.

   Hi Shai,
   I have no idea why, but I just don’t like wearing scarves, unless it’s winter and I need to keep warm. I have several lovely scarves, but they just smack of being old to me. Weird, hey? I just can’t bring myself to wear them. Most of them are from my mother, some are from the family. I have tried, but it’s just not me. You make it look good in your photos, though.

   Heather: Nah. Not weird at all. I think it really depends on folks’ personal styling preference. Me, being fascinated with snow & such as a child, I guess, I’ve always fancied the thought of wearing a scarf. Anyway, thanks!
