How to tie a scarf

One strip of cloth, so many possibilities...

This lens is a collection of the best resources I have found on how to use scarves to add style and interest to your outfits. Scarves are incredibly versatile accessories and can be used for everything from jewelry, to belts, to hats, to shirts, to skirts and more depending on the size, shape and material that the scarf is made of.

I hope that you will find these resources as useful as I do in making scarves a favorite part of your wardrobe as well.
