Because Scarves are Fashion Forward

I was so happy I got to visit my friend, Missy while I was back in Iowa for Christmas. I love hanging out with her.


While we were running around town she took me to this great store and told me to pick out a scarf (her Christmas present to me). I found one I liked and we checked out. While Missy was paying for the scarf, I casually asked the sales girl if she knew any other cool scarf ties and she taught us 3 new ones. Since I'm wearing the scarf today I thought I'd just take a few pictures of the new ties and pass them on to you.

First let me remind you of the Euro (not sure if that's the real name but that's what the sales girl called it). Most of us know this one.


Well you can build on the Euro very easily by just hooking one of the scarf ends through and then wrapping the other scarf end through the other way (clear as mud I'm sure). She called this on the Euro Faux.

Then came the Buckaroo. Sort of like a 4-knot tie a little complicated as you watch someone doing it but once I tried it myself (and okay with some assistance from Missy the first couple times), I've got it down now. The scarf Missy was wearing in the store was so long that the sales woman made a Double Buckaroo in hers...intense.

Last is what she called the Turtleneck. I doubt I'll wear this one much as it feels like a choke hold (or so I would imagine a choke hold to feel. And definitely I wouldn't wear it with a V-neck. I think this photo makes me look like I have a neck brace on and I'm trying to cover it up with a scarf.
So, I'm way excited to wear scarves for the rest of the winter. If you know of other ties, let me know.
