Shockingly, inexplicably and amazingly, yours truly somehow secured two, count ‘em, TWO Emmy nominations this week for my work on “What The Chic”.  From humble beginnings this webisode series has totally taken off.  And it’s re-launched my nonexistent TV career.  I’m Paula Abdul and this is my “American Idol”.  I’m well on my way to heavy prescription drug use and bad hair extensions.

At Halls, I’ve learned it’s not necessarily what ensemble you wear as much as all the other stuff you add to it.  Sure you can have the perfect outfit … but if you’re wearing the wrong shoes, belt, cufflinks or tie … you’re S-C-R-E-W-E-D.

Scarves are one of those things you can make work … or you can butcher.  Sad, but true.  It’s like jewelry.  You want something that stands out and makes a statement.  But not be distracting.

In my latest “What The Chic” on KCTV5, not only do I teach the subtle nuances of WEARING scarves, I also teach you how to tie a scarf.  Back in my day, you threw it around your neck to keep you warm.  Now, you’re forced to double wrap, loop and knot accordingly.  It’s like origami for your throat.  (Click on the world’s longest URL to watch the video.)

Fashion now requires an engineering degree apparently.  Fortunately, I’m a quick learner and great teacher.  You’ll thank me later.
