How to Tie a Scarf Into a Vest (2013 version)

I did this last season with one of our scarves from the Fall Collection but it was a wide rectangle scarf. I thought I would show you how to tie a scarf into a vest using a narrower rectangle scarf as I like that look better on me especially since I am petite. People are always amazed that what I am wearing is actually a scarf! I don't usually like to wear vests but I find that it is so different that I just have to do it sometimes. I did two scarf "tricks" during a presentation at a networking business and even the guys loved it. One of them inspired me to blog and make a video demo too. Here goes!

I used kikaPaprika's Bird Scarf which sells for $26. I am also wearing Pippa in Ink ($50) and Simone in White (previous season item).

Step #1: Take your scarf lengthwise ...

Step #2: Fold it in half. One side has your "fold" and the other side is "open".

Step #3: Take the corners that you were holding and tie a very small but secure knot. 

Step #4: Find the side that was "open" (it helps if the scarf has fringe) and pull it open.
You should find two holes like this to put your arms through.

TADA! Here is the look all finished.

Here is an all-in-one photo with all the steps.

Date Night Outfit

I promised a totally different look for my next blog post and here it is! My husband and I went out for a nice steak dinner last night ... just because. Well, really it was because the restaurant was doing a special and our next dinner there will be free! Ha! Still, it was a reason for me to dress up a little bit and try out some new kikaPaprika items. 

Even though the weather has been sunny and finally feels like spring has arrived in the Pacific Northwest ... my legs are all pasty and white! I opted to wear this dress with my fall boots and tights but I could have worn flip flops or nude heels or wedges with this dress and it would have looked fabulous! I think I need to go shopping for some shoes now...
