Certain things must happen during spring:
– I must get fresh flowers
– I must get my hands on some fresh berries
– I must enjoy the cooler breezes outside
– I must wear my silk scarves more
I kept this runway picture below in my inspiration folder for a while – I just love the simple casual chic look.
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013
I have become a collector of Hermès scarves ever since buying one for my mother and then becoming fully entranced by the scarves myself. While I have always paid less than retail price, I still pay a pretty penny. I certainly wanted to increase my cost per wear and also do something a little different with them. I love this subtle, but unexpected look.
There are a couple of fun styles in the very cool Hermès scarf tying series is online here; I wouldn’t go for a full on pirate scarf look but may try the updated turban look. If only I could really wear the halter top!
Here are my instructions for a simple way to tie the scarf into a subtle headwrap (using Fantaisies Indiennes scarf):
1. Fold your scarf on the diagonal so that the corners meet and create a triangle.
2. Fold lengthwise several times until the scarf is about a 2″ wide strip.
3. Take the ends of the scarf in each hand and place the middle of the scarf over your hairline.
4. Tie once or twice at the back. You can also secure the scarf on the side with a hairpin.

The way you’ve styled this is just perfect! I need to scoop up a pretty, printed scarf to try this with! 🙂
I love scarves, looks gorgeous on you :)) I think it’s perfect for the season & it’s reminded me of getting some, the wind in the summer blows my hair all over. Have a great day doll xo

Pretty! I need to get my hands on some silk scarves!
You rocked it well!
(Yes but I thought it was just ok. It has a pretty big following though so I know I’m the exception. Hope it works for you!)
Silk headbands are the best!

[…] pieces, like my silk scarves, into my outfits. I first styled a favorite scarf into a headband here. To tell you the truth, if it’s a really hot day, I don’t even want to wear a headband […]
