Best Scarf Technique (EVER) Tutorial

First of all, please pardon the awkwardness of these photos. My roommate wasn't here, and so I had to take them myself haha! This technique of scarf-wearing is really nice because you get the look of threading it through a loop without it being so bulky and having a weird bulge around your neck. This way allows the scarf to sit much flatter against your neck so you can wear it over a t-shirt or cute sweater without it looking like it should be under a winter coat! I tried to do a vlog of this because that would be really easy, but I kept messing up and I really felt weird. Props to all your vloggers out there who can have enough composure to go all the way through a vlog!! My Lilly Pulitzer Murfee Scarf was perfect for this opportunity and the V-neck is a J. Crew white perfect fit top!

First, put a scarf around your shoulders like you were going to wear it normally with the loop on one side and the other two ends on the other side:

Next, thread ONE end through the hole, again, like you would normally, BUT ONLY ONE SIDE. That will leave the other end just laying on your shoulder:

(This photo really looks like I have a Lilly Murfee Scarf sling!!)

After you pull it through, make it as close to your neck as you can. There will be time for aesthetic adjustments at the end:

Then comes the hardest step to explain. Twist the loop so there's a figure 8 shape and a second hole for the other fringy end:

Unfortunately this picture is hard to see since my scarf got a little tangled while I was doing it. You can still pretty much see the figure 8 though, and the new loop where my hand is.

This is the step where you can adjust everything. It will still look a little sloppy until the very end. I promise it will come out great after this adjustment stage! You can just pull the two ends until you're comfortable with the length, size of the cross, etc: 

Voila! Here's the final product!! If you try it a few times yourself, you'll definitely get the hang of it and I swear you'll love it from this day on!!

Kudos to Kathryn W of to starve is to feast., Alina A. and Megan P. who all helped me perfect my look!! You guys are the best (and some of my most loyal readers!!)!!!

If you have any questions, please leave them here and if I need to re-address some of the directions I'll be sure to answer the questions tomorrow! Let me know if you like this new look too!!
