scarves!

OK, no really, these were some of my final final purchases I made a couple of weeks ago that are just coming in.  Christian Lacroix silk toro y lady kerchief via ideeli.  I want to start wearing scarves like this more often!  I have a small collection already, but until now they were all pretty small (in size). I need bigger ones!  ...and someday, someday, some hermès scarves...A GIRL CAN DREAM

worn:
 
This is my first silk scarf, and I must say that I prefer silk to the poly blends my other scarves are made out of.  It just sits more nicely on the neck!



I bought an adorable heart print sweater (with heart button accents!) from rouge retro on etsy and they gave me a couple of free scarves (thank youuu!).  I love this one because the print is great and it's huuuge.

the other free scarf:


I guess I paired the scarves with outfits pretty randomly. I just wanted to wear them but half my closet was in the laundry because I'm lazy.  Worn here with a newish Marc by Marc Jacobs cardigan I bought with the last of my credit on gilt.  I'll admit that now that I have to start saving money, I'm a bit bummed out I won't be buying anymore Marc Jacobs pieces! 


Since I got some new scarves, I had to brush up on different tying techniques .  i also stumbled upon this awesome guide to wrapping items up.

  2. I've been loving scarves too!!!!

    I got this plaid scarf I got for Christmas and I got a scarf from Forever 21 and that's it. No fancy names and I did see LaCroix sale. I've been eyeing some nice scarves from an etsy store called "Awkward" and some cute knits from a store called "ileaiye".

  3. I am a scarf lover. But I shamefully don't know how to tie them except for 2 ways. I need to take a class or something. I see all these ladies wearing them and it makes me jealous!
