ah. l’amour and the printed scarf…
i’m all about effortless chic. i’m honestly just lazy. i love pieces that i can just throw on at the last minute and at least look like i give a dangdoodle. soft, pretty things make me happy and the lovable printed scarf is yet another easy item (among things like the jacket and the cropped vest) that can add flair, pattern, or a pop of colour to an otherwise basic outfit. it can sometimes even (wait for it…) tie you’re whole look together ( i am so effing hilarious). a gorgeous actress came into my work last week wearing the cutest, easiest outfit: a skinny rock tee, jeans, chucks, a cropped vest and a kerchief around her neck and i seriously got an instant girl crush. that outfit should be her uniform.
i’ve always been a fan of the headscarf, but lately i’m loving the rock-chic neckerchief style, tied with one corner in the front. some messy fringe or an unraveling edge will emphasize your unaffected cool factor. you’re all like, “whatevah, bitches. i can’t help it, i’m just that hip.”
scarves can add interest to almost any outfit and the possibilities are endless…
(here’s our fearless style hero leibemarlene, wearing a crocheted pansy table runner round her disgustingly adorable lil’ neck). you can also wear them as belts, or tied onto the handle of your leather hobo or tote.the best part of it is, these kinds of scarves (and table runners for that matter) are a dime a dozen in thrift shops. but if you’re having trouble finding just the right one, urban outfitters has a wicked selection from $4.99 up.
Nice look for all the Arab wannabees.
i so saw that one guy on hel looks! hahaha. i try not to venture over there though. if i do, i just end up accumulating hours of clickage. it’s too addicting!
that’s a silly thing to say. by your logic we’d have to assume that all non-americans who wear jeans are just wannabees, and the list goes on. transcending cultural barriers in fashion is necessary.
This looks idiotic. I look forward to the day when hipster fads are past. So annoying looking up fashion online and all I see is repetitive hipster crap.
Perhaps you didn’t notice, DougtheBug, that this post is almost 2 years old!? That’s kind of hilarious.
Hell, I’m sick of this trend by now too!
The sad thing is that I STILL have this tired “fashion” pop up in my StumbleUpon (keyword: fashion) about every 4rd or 5th click. Hence still relevant and revolting.
