Scarves

On my way to Amsterdam, I had some time to kill in O'Hare Airport. I was wearing my favorite travel outfit, a scoop-neck, 3/4 sleeve knit tunic in an oatmeal color, black leggings, my unbeatably comfortable NAOT Matai Maryjanes (in which I can walk on cobblestones for ten hours without any discomfort), soft black socks, and the Alexander McQueen scarf that -- surprisingly -- I've received the most compliments on of any I own. It's made of 90% modal and 10% cashmere, with fringed edges, and is a very generous 52 inches square.

When it's rolled up and draped around my neck, there's no indication whatsoever of those engaging skeletons, unless I unroll and unfold to reveal them. Between flights, while sitting in the Red Carpet Club, I worked out a new (for me) way to tie it. Nearly immediately I began to receive compliments, and they never stopped.

Tonight I played with other scarves, and was able to replicate the same wrap and tie method that I devised, this time using my Folklore scarf:

I'm not sure about the pearls; they're really only for the photograph. Feeling quite capable, I grabbed another, my cream colored Armoured Skeleton and Rope scarf, and fiddled around a bit more, for these two looks:

and this version, which I prefer, and which shows off a bit of the McQueen Tartan that's in the shields on the scarf:

Now I've just got to improve my skills as a photographer! Being able to focus would be a good start!
