OOTD 1.6.10 {it's really just about the scarf}


Today I wasn't going to post an OOTD - I threw on jeans, tee, cardi, Uggs - and decided I would maybe just write a post on the carrots I made out of my Julia Child cookbook the other night.

But then I happened upon this blog (vlog) post and decided to try it. Love. So, thank you very much to Chic Critque for showing us a new twist (literally) on the Hacking Knot! I love scarves and I love this new-to-me tie.

I'm wearing a cashmere wrap (pic further below) tied this way today but I also gave it a whirl with an Hermes scarf. They are quite different looks and I really like them both.


Hermes Grand Manege

To do the Hermes, or another scarf of the same dimensions, you first need to fold it to make it long & narrow:





And here with the thicker cashmere wrap, you can see the braided effect better:

Ann Taylor cashmere wrap (was part of a twinset from maybe ten years ago), ATL cardi (last year), ON tee, jeans, Uggs
