I was in the process of picking out my outfit for my surprise Valentine’s Day dinner, when I found myself planning my outfit around a scarf. I love a comfy blanket scarf; there is just something about the feeling of a cozy blanket around your neck (even if it takes up the whole top half of your body). I have received several questions about how to correctly fold/wear a blanket scarf. There are TONS of different ways to do so; however, here is how I slim down this monster of a scarf, and make it a perfect accessory for any outfit.
How to: BLANKET SCARF
- Completely unfold the scarf, creating a square.
- Fold one corner of the scarf to the opposing corner, creating a triangle.
- Gather the material into your fists, creating excess tails from your triangle.
- Bring scarf to neck (like putting on a bib), then wrap one on side behind your neck and allow to lay on opposite shoulder.
- Do the same to the other end of the scarf, allowing both ends to cross behind your neck and lay on the front of your shoulders.
- Tuck the ends under the front of the scarf and play around with the scarf until it is comfortable to your liking!
You can also use blanket scarves as a shaw. All you have to do is follow steps 1 & 2 from before (keep scarf folded into a triangle), then wrap around shoulders. Option is up to you whether to tie the ends, or causally let the scarf lay over your shoulders on its own. I have it paired with a simple black dress and a pair of ankle boots. If it wasn’t date night I would use my scarf to accessorize a simple v-neck, ripped skinny jeans, and ankle boots (more causal outfit but same concept). Very simple way to not get overwhelmed by a scarf, but still complete your outfit. {Best of luck accessorizing!}
Hope everyone has a great weekend! So lucky I got a surprise visit this weekend from Jason. He planned our Valentine’s Day with a reservation at Stix, in Findlay, and a surprise not yet told. Yay for date night, so grateful for me Valentine!
Happy Saturday~ let someone know how much you love them today, and how grateful you are to have them in your life.
As always {BE TRUE. BE YOU.}
