Stone-washed jeans can also be found in the latest collection. These jeans come in gray color, are embellished with metallic rivets and come in fashionable destroyed effect.

Love scarves. I’ve got a couple of full-sized Hermes ones, some Leonard Paris ones (thanks to Loehmann’s), Salvatore Ferragamo and such. I need to think of more creative ways to tie them, though, but I love the bourgie bag-handle enhancement.

The Hermes web site gives clear instructions for tying scarfs of different sizes.

I don’t have any scarves, mostly because they do frighten me a bit. I have very little neck so I feel like I look funny wearing one. Plus I don’t know how to tie them.

I do, however, have a lovely grandmother who, being French (in a straight-off-the boat kind of way), is a master of the scarf. I envy her that. She always looks so chic. I shall have to start paying more attention, I think.

Abby – I’ve picked up some lovely scarves/lost days on eBay. There’s also Etsy’s vintage option. http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=vintage&search_query=liberty+scarf
Be still, my heart. You can also get rich pickings at thrift stores, too.

Scarves are the one fashion/style/thingo that I think I’ve always been good with, if in my impetuous youth perhaps veering into Stevie Nicks territory a bit. Possibly because as a fat lass, I could find sweet FA to fit me in the grungy thrift stores my friends & I visited as a teen. As I don’t do shoes, scarves are more my thing.

& you can wrap your novel in one to keep in your bag and avoid bent corners. Or buy this book and stay at home with it: http://www.thamesandhudson.com/9780500515181.html

30 dresses! If I may be so bold: your grandmother’s scarves want to be taken out and played with and complimented! They miss being taken on dates and car rides and out for cocktails! Surely among all your 30 dresses there is one that would be extra-special pretty with a scarf.

Mika on MSNBC has been wearing scarves a lot, I’ve noticed. They look nice–she could use some of your instruction about tying. Lucky me, I actually own a Hermes scarf ring–it was the only thing I could afford on their website. I loved the buckaroo tie but will have to study it a little while. I loved the youtube video you shared–the little man is adorable, and he looked so proud when displaying the tied Linda knot!

Rosa, that sounds lovely but it’s not a martini. Martinis are gin and vermouth and an olive. Everything else? Is not.

Thank you for this! I own many scarfs from my grandmother and they’re just sitting in my closet as I have no clue how to wear them. I can wear a purple sequined beret, but scarves scare me. That video was adorable.

You say “frosting on frosting” like that is a bad thing.

I own many scarves, and have now given myself permission to buy the ungodly expensive ones since that Plumcake does so and IT MUST BE OKAY since she even goes to church and all. It’s amazing how well peer pressure works on me when it comes to spending money on things I want anyway.

I don’t THINK I have any of the problems you are describing. I am tall and have a lot of neck. I have a weakish chin, but here is only one of them. So I do a bunch of different things with scarves. Today, for example, I wore a white blazer with a black shirt and green/fuschia Christian Audigier “tattoo” scarf–one of the long ones–and I just let it hang because that seemed pretty. Two days ago I wore my big oversized LV multicolore in a “cowboy” style. I was on national TV the other day wearing a leopard print scarf–one of the small ones.

I put them on my purse, I use them as headbands.
