How about celebrating the first day of summer with a headscarf?

| Shopping Guide: Flamingo Print Scarf c/o Shawlsmith London Yellow Floral Scarf (old, but similar style at Nordstrom) Men’s Slim Selvedge Chambray Shirt from J. Crew |
If you’re apprehensive about pulling off the look, consider these two things before you rule it out:
1. Wearing a scarf around your neck in the summer can get a little toasty, but leaving accessories to be lonely in the closet is just mean.
2. Trying this trend means bouncing out of the house without having to wash and dry your hair – leaving you with more time for grabbing an iced coffee on the way to work (or going for a longer walk with your pup, as Gwyneth suggests.)
Now that you (and your pooch) are on board, go shop your closet for your favorite rectangular scarf and your favorite square scarf, and Gwyneth and I will show you two stylish and no-slip ways to wear them.
Let’s start with your favorite rectangular scarf:
1. Fold your scarf in half, width-wise.
2. Drape over the top of your forehead and head.
3. Tie the ends in a knot behind one ear.
4. Separate the two loose ends.
5. Twist the two loose ends.
6. Wrap the twist around the knot you tied in Step 3.
7. Loop the end of your twist through the loop you made and pull to secure.
Now for your favorite square scarf:
1. Fold in half.
2. Drape over your head, so the point is in the front.
3. Adjust so the long side of the scarf rests at the nape of your neck.
4. Pull the ends towards the front.
5. Twist the ends around each other, over the point in the front, then back around to tie in a knot at the nape of your neck.
6. Gather the point of the scarf, so it is the width of a large knot.
7. Roll the point back, tucking it under itself to secure.
Happy Summer, everyone!

Part of the Link Party At:
It looks darling on you! I couldn’t quite pull that off, I can just hear my boys if I came out donning one!
Pam, you are too sweet!
Gwyneth and I totally think that you could pull it off!! But we also agree that it could be a hard look for your boys to embrace!
It is about 105 degrees in NYC today with the heat index. We are jealous of you being in Colorado today!!!
