How To Wear A Scarf — by Guest Mom Allison Czarnecki

Scarves are still all the rage in the fashion world right now and I'm breathing a collective sigh of relief for all of us, because scarves are hawt. They're our friends, and we want to keep them around for as long as possible. Or until the Europeans are done with them, whichever comes first.

The sky is the limit with scarves. Think of them as just one more accessory in your arsenal of hotness. Wear a scarf in place of a necklace; it can compliment a really cute plain tee and make you look just that much more put together. If you don't know how to wear one no worries, I'm about to show you. I'll even hold your hand every step of the way.



1. Drape your scarf lengthwise down your arm.
2. Fold it in half.
3. Pull the halved scarf behind your neck. Hold open one side with your fingers. With your other hand hold onto the tassels.
4. While holding open the halved end of the scarf, push the tassels through the hole.
5. Pull tight.



You ready to try another one?



1. Hang scarf loosely around your neck. Make sure it's about evenly divided.
2. Loop the piece of scarf in your left hand all the way around your neck until it comes back around the front.
3. Now we're all back at the front again right?
4. Even up the sides and pull tight around your neck.



If we want to get crazy and take it one step further we can wrap the ends around and tuck in, like so.



See? Totally painless, and now you can accessorize with the best of them. What do you think? Do you have some great scarf tying tips the rest of us need to know?
