You know those times when you try something new with your wardrobe, and you stare in the mirror a few times that day trying to figure out whether it's new and innovative or just straight up weird? This outfit has been one of those for me.
I found this image on Pinterest, and I based this scarf style on the snood diagram on the bottom left:
My scarf is quite a bit larger though, so it's a little different.
But what do you think? I'm really torn. Do you think it works as a fun accessory, or is it strange? Does it even look vintage? I'm divided.
(And I'm honestly asking for input, so don't worry about hurting my feelings!)

I think it works but I might be tempted to find a different scarf. A smaller or lighter one might make it drape a bit more like in the picture. It has such a pretty pattern though :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! This scarf is a bit too big and thick, I think, but I don't have a large square scarf as of yet. I'll have to keep my eye out for a light one and try it again!
DeleteIt's fabulous! I like the sense of volume and how it seems wider than the rest of the ensemble you partnered it with here (if that makes sense). I sometimes sport a similar style, especially in the summer, and just love it. Very 1940s meets the Caribbean (to me, at least) in a way! :)

Well thank you! I do definitely get an islander feel as well (which is why I just had to pair some giant earrings with it to make it perfect!). And I do get what you're saying about width. It's like the old adage I just made up: The bigger the head scarf style, the smaller the rest of you looks! Ha.
DeleteI think you've done it correctly, but I'm not sure it's an attractive style in the first place. Very authentic though!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is a bit of a strange style. I'm going to have to work with it to see if I can get it to a more likable shape. Thanks for our input!
