Take a long scarf, fold it in half, drape it around your neck. Belt the whole thing at your waist, et voila! It’s kind of like wearing a vest without a back.
Scarf and tank are from Old Navy, belt is Madewell, skirt is from Target.
The shoes are. Frye. Here’s the thing about these shoes
. these are my vanity shoes. They aren’t comfortable (hello, wooden sole, you inflexible bastard) and I kind of teeter more than walk at 5.5 inches, but they put me in the neighborhood of 5’8 (almost the height of a short model!) and the buff color makes my legs look even longer. I wear them on days when I’m going to be sitting. Alot.
I’ve seen this “belt your scarf” look done elsewhere but haven’t attempted it yet. Your scarf adds a refreshing touch of turquoise to your outfit!
i have this scarf in yellow, and i’m going to do this; although, i’m not near as teeny as you, so it may backfire.
Those shoes are AMAZING! I am very jealous right now 🙂
5 and a half inch heels? Girls are amazing. I couldn’t even stand, let alone walk. How do girls walk up stairs in heels? I’m in New York and I seriously can’t imagine how you guys run to catch a cab or train in those things. Wasn’t it Ginger Rodgers who said she did everything Fred Astaire did but backwards and in heels?
So true, Jon! I wonder if she could do it in wooden clog heels?
going to try this. need to find something to try it over though
A dress would work really well, Melissa. That way you can place the belt wherever you want. I like mine high so that it makes my legs look longer 😉 If you pair it with pants it might look a little weird not to have the belt sit on the waist of the pants.
I am in Love with that scarf ! The color is beautiful !! I love the little pom poms or fringe on it.
I’ll level with ya: I’m not a big fan of the belted scarf overall. But I think it TOTALLY works here!
What a great idea (and love the unexpected use of color)! I’m on a *spending hiatus* so this is a great way to recycle stuff I already have in my closet.
Cheers!

I’ve also seen the belt-your-scarf look in the past but it was not cute. THIS, however, makes me want to try it. Your execution is what makes the difference. Love the combination of colors and textures here! Your style really is impeccable.
You pull this look off great!!
it looks amazing on you here but I have seen it go horribly wrong.it’s hard to find that perfect combo of belt and scarf 🙂 xx
totally dig the shoes! 😀
this outfit = perfection!
i love that color blue.and the idea of belting your scarf is genius!
and is it crazy that i think wooden soles are comfy???
I do this, too, when it’s not too hot out like it is now.
I want a good tiered scarf in a gauzy fabric. I have to have one because I saw Olivia Palermo do it and I envy the shit out of her style.
This reminds me of a funkier version of that!
XXs,
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
ok. not sure how far back you read your comments, but i did this today!! i think it worked! i already had a scarf and white tank, and i found this great gray silk skirt- i thought it worked. next time i’ll take a picture and link to you!
