Gotta love a good scarf ...

So the other week I finally got to the hairdresser and had my layers cut back in, lots of choppy layers so  I can either wear it down or tie it up underneath and have a fake bob.


A few says after this I saw Kimberly Wyatt on the telly with a gorgeous blue scarf tied up headband style. So I decided to try it out, here are the results to far ...


Now having dark hair I usually cant get away with head scarfs or bands etc because they dont really stand out, but after seeing how nice her one looked I thought I would have a go. First attempt was the top right, a little lilac scarf I had in the bottom of my scarf box. Its a band style scarf about 4 inches wide so really good for a neat wrap and small bow due to the length. My next attempt was the bottom two pics. This is a new scarf I got in the Monsoon sale, now I was trying to save money but it was just so pretty and exactly the colours (blues, pink and grey) and fabric I wanted. This one is a standard square so needed folded into a band or twisted to give volume. I folded it for the bottom right, tied it up  then left the ends loose. I really like this scarf as it adds a pop of color to an outfit, the other night I wore it like the bottom left pic with a plain black maxi dress, it added that dash of colour to brighten up a dreary winter. After success with these two scarves I decided to start branching out so raided my scarf box, result is top left, this is a black and cream, Primark square skull scarf that I tied like the Blue one but tucked in the ends in around the knot almost making a flower (must try this with the one).

I think my first few attempts have gone pretty well, might be taking a trip to Primark soon to look for some more scarves to play around with, can't go wrong when they are about £3 each hehe

Side note, I still cant think of stuff to wear for work specifically but my Geek Chic outfit collection is growing hehe top two are new bottom set are pre-christmas.



I also seem to have infected the Fiancé with the Geek chic bug. After seeing me rocking my fashion Wayfairers he got some, then liked them so much he got real Ray Bans!! I'm totally jealous cuz they are awesome. See ...

Rocking the Fashion Geeks!!
Real Deal Ray Bans!! Jealous Much!

    I can't see a way to follow you, I think you need to put a follower widget on your sidebar? If I'm being blonde and missing something let me know! :)
