“The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize …”, Clairee Belcher, “Steel Magnolias”

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”, not only did I learn the subtle nuances of WEARING scarves, I also learned 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.

Fashion now requires an engineering degree apparently.  Fortunately, I’m just the person to help you study.  And for the record, I am not, repeat, NOT responsible for any potential choking disasters.
