How to tie a blanket scarf – The best fall accessory

Part 1

Fall is the season of my favourite accessory – the blanket scarf.  The beautiful leaves, that cool breeze, a warm latte and tall boots just scream for a blanket scarf to finish the look and complete that perfect outfit.  It is such a great transitional piece as it adds a great layer for those cool mornings and chilly evenings.

Let me be real for a second and tell you that, although I LOVE this trend, it took me a bit to learn how to NOT look like a hot mess while wrapping my gigantic scarf around my body.  I mean, there is just SO much material!

I am sure that I am not the only one who has struggled with the heap of fluffy scarf (or maybe I am just telling myself that), so I am here to show you my top 10 ways to wear my blanket scarf, with step by step instructions so you can master it too!

But to not overwhelm you, let’s break it into two parts!  I’ll be back on Friday with Part 2.  Subscribe to my blog (to your right!) and get the next post directly to your inbox.

I’ve got your back girl! (I have, of course, linked some great options at the bottom!)
