I think I'm scarf impaired. No matter how I tie a scarf, it ends up looking like a thick string around my neck or a kerchief. Sigh.
This morning, I have on my purple cashmere sweater and a silk scarf from a blogging friend who moved from Texas to Paris for a year. The scarf has shades of green, some blue and pale purple running through it. I knew it would go perfectly with the sweater, but how to tie it?
It's a square, so I folded it in half to make a triangle and I turned to the Youtube video 25 Ways to Wear a Scarf.
The woman on this video is a genius and she makes everything look so easy.
I tried and tried to tie it, but each time it ended up looking like I was a cowboy wearing a bandana ready to cover my face in a dust storm created by cattle on the move.
Sigh.
Then I went to school to teach and scarf unwrapped itself like a snake uncoiling. Crumbs from my breakfast fell onto the desk in front of me and I wiped them away before any of the students noticed that my kerchief had captured my breakfast crumbs.
Eventually, I just tied the scarf in a knot in front of my sweater. That's as fancy as I'm able to get with scarves.

you are not alone, my friend. you are not alone.
I know one way to tie a scarf...pathetic. This will be helpful; thanks.
I think those silk scarves are almost impossible to tie. They just fall apart as yours did unless they are in a knot. I have two ways to wear a scarf that always work but you need a long lone like the lady in the video has.
I can do 2! I have no idea what to do with squares though. I can only wear the long rectangular ones. Oh I've got some really big ones I can wear like a shawl so I guess that's 3! I would like to try some of her variations in our winter, I'll have to try and remember when the time comes.
Beautiful scarf and perfect for your outfit !
