Help please.

Take your long scarf and roll it and then drape it accordingly around your neck or just enjoy wearing a floaty scarf loosely. I love these summer scarves over light tops.

I have some lovely scarves but I cant bear them in summer they are just too sweaty and hot to bear. Winter is a different matter I wear lots of different scarves with different outfits.

The pirate costume's very intriguing Anya.
Loose and low (ish) Think necklace not scarf. Only works with soft fabric which drapes well. But I did laugh at the mental image of a starched tablecloth.

Have any of you ever looked on Pinterest for ideas on how to tie your scarves? It's a great source of ideas for all sorts of things, you just type in what you want to look at in the box at the top and up come lots of different ideas from other pinners. The topics are endless, but a word of warning...the site is very addictive!

Anya, my DDiL bought me the same scarf as yours bought for you!The year before my DD bought me a similar one in Pink.Now, I do wear scarves, but just not those really huge ones, so they hang in the wardrobe.They are really wraps, but unless you are wearing a plain solid colour dress, in which case you could drape one around yourself, they are useless.

Here is how I styled mine....... Place whole scarf around your shoulders , take one end firmly and tie it to the other end, now swing it around to one side, twist tightly and tie another knot.Pull to other side, because it looks wrong, panic a bit as it won't come off over the head, unravel whole thing and sling it on the floor, leave the room, cursing.

I drape mine across the end of the plain bedding on the spare bed. It looks very chic (unhelpful).

Lots of great suggestions but it's the round the neck bit that will never look right on me, especially in summer. I don't even suit round necked tops so go for 'V' or boat necks.

However I have come up with a solution

In another thread I said I was looking for a floaty summer top. Well never did find one, but DiL was wearing a lovely one the other day and she pointed put it was just two rectangular pieces of material, hemmed, sewn across the 'shoulders' (top) but leaving room for head and then sewn, bat-wing style, under the 'arms' (sides)

Guess who is now the owner of a floaty top made (in 20 minutes) from DiL's scarf? It's very flattering and as DiL gave me the idea in the first place she's happy
