Fashion Tips for Winter


While I was in D.C. last weekend, I hopped in a cab (well, to be honest, it was more like hoisting the baby carrier in the cab with the frigid wind blowing everything everywhere; trying to close up the stroller with my arms full of diaper bags and coats, and shopping bags on the return trip; but lets romanticize it and say, "I hopped in a cab,") and went to the nearest shopping mall for a little outing with Landis.

While there, I got my lunch (which would have been French crepes if I had seen the shop before I settled for greasy McDonalds over "Texas BBQ") and sat on a ledge to eat. Apparently, everyone in D.C. knows how to snatch a table the moment it comes available, because I certainly was not quick enough. As I ate, I preoccupied myself with people watching. First I noticed coats, but soon grew bored of that, so I decided to observe how many different ways you can wear a scarf. Below are my findings, modeled by Amaleah. (P.S. Is every little girl born with an innate ability to model something?)

The Throw & Go:
(for the sleek, wanna be "cool" guy)

The Sophisticated/Business Over-the-Coat:
(very D.C. diplomat)

The French Dreamy & Airy:
(or: I got too hot and had to untie)


The "30 and Flirty" (or so it seemed), and sometimes sported with a knot...

The Through the Loop
(or: Scarve Wearing for Dummies)


My Personal Favorite...
The Thrifty:
Two in One--It's Both a Hat and a Scarf

(and an awesome floor dance to match...)

So take your pick this winter and wear that scarf well!
