Paisley (S)Carving!

Question: What do you get when your fashion challenged boyfriend feels exceptionally generous and he knows he struck luck when he once bought me a scarf and I loved it?
Answer: Buy me another scarf of course silly! Haha

Yes! He felt very giving and hence splurged on a scarf and boy do I love it 😍
It’s a satin paisley patterned scarf and it’s beautiful.

I tried wearing it with one outfit today. I’m going to try and do more with it soon!!
I have tied this scarf three ways.

Type one: The simple loop and through

image

As simple as folding the scarf breadth wise into two, and draping it around the neck and pulling the loose ends side into the loop on the other side.

Type 2: The very simple muffler style

Get a square (I had to fold this scarf twice to get that, but many scarfs are naturally squarish). Now make a triangle by joining opposite ends and let the triangle face down and tie the loose ends at the nape of your neck.

Type 3: The slightly complicated loop-de-loop!
Yes I named that style myself because try as I might, I just couldn’t figure out what the normal world calls that type. 😜
So here’s a step by step for this type.

Easy eh? Just a case of loop once , around the neck, one end goes inside loop, loop again, other end goes in next! Ta-da!!

Its fancy too!!!! See??

Honestly, there are exactly two million, nine hundred and twenty seven thousand, six hundred and forty three (2,927,643) types of wearing a scarf. Duh! That was totally NOT a made up number! Look it up on pinterest and google you guys, you’ll be amazed how well a scarf can compliment your outfit.
So how do you scarf yourself up? 🙂

Scarfed and Bunned!

As much as I would love to think that my hiatus in the blogging world was a calm before the storm, its not true. I’ve just had nothing too exciting going on in my life, inspiring enough to blog about. I have also slipped into a phase where I’m merely recycling my old (most of them very boring too 😝) clothes, so an OOTD was out of question as well.
Yesterday however was different. I woke up very early so had plenty of time at hand and hence decided to try something different to work. And so, I tried the very famous “sock bun” 😍

I probably did not do a very neat job of it, (and I guess that’s mainly because I dont use hairsprays) but was nonetheless extremely proud of it (haha that’s me!!)
I used a ring bun instead of a sock because its easier and its a cheat trick to add volume to my hair! 😁. You can find the link to the video I followed to get this hairstyle here

So people at work started calling me “the airhostess” because I completed my look with a…*wait for it*..scarf!!! The look was so airhostessey that I couldn’t but just laugh at these jests because I did look like one after all!! 😂 So dont you guys want to see how I looked from the front?


Voila!

I got this scarf as a gift and I really love how versatile it is and how it instantly and completely adds so much vibrance to an otherwise dull look!

Do tell me what you guys thought about the hairstyle and the scarf!?! Have you guys scarfed up to make a boring outfit look colorful? I’m all ears ☺

White-al Tan-talizer

The white shirt has become a staple in almost every wardrobe, guy and girl alike. But what is it paired with? A blue jean (yes the combination totally rocks) or formal black/grey pants.
Another great pairing with the white shirt are a pair of tan pants. What works for the look? Maybe the fact that its still taking baby steps to becoming a fashion staple unlike its cool black n white and black n blue cousins 😀
The combination is killer and it is good enough to even pass as formal wear to work 😉

You guys try this killer combination while I slink away looking for better titles for my forthcoming posts 😛 Chao 🙂
