The catalog models were showing the different ways to ware a scarf and one of the options was just like your outfit, without the collar. The collar is a great touch and absolutely makes the scarf look like it was made onto the dress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-92075394107638444592015-11-06T12:03:09.421-06:002015-11-06T12:03:09.421-06:00What a wonderfully unique way to change up the loo...What a wonderfully unique way to change up the look of a dress.

On a very pragmatic level, I love that using a scarf like that could be just the thing to hide a stained garment that might otherwise be put out of commission.
