IMG_63121. start with your scarf in its “blanket” form, completely unfolded.

2. fold your scarf in half like a triangle

3. gather up the amount you want in the front with the pieces that will wrap around your neck draped off the ends

4. next, bring the scarf up to your neck like you’re a cowboy putting on a bandana 😉

pulling those long pieces back behind you

5. criss-cross those pieces over each other

6. bring those same pieces to the front after you criss-cross them

7. and the final touch, you can let those long pieces hang down beside your large triangle in the front or tuck them behind it. I prefer to tuck them. VOILA! 🙂 Hope this was helpful!

There’s nothing like a blazer to really bring an outfit together. I can have on the most slouchy dress, but when I put a blazer over it, I somehow feel chic, stylish, professional, and put together. Navy is my favorite color in clothing, paired with the striped detailing shown when rolling the sleeves, makes this a staple and favorite piece in my closet.

I wish I could link you the exact dress I have on here, sadly I bought it at Old Navy a few months ago and it’s no where to be found online (i searched forever). It’s a cotton, flared dress that I’m sure can be easily copied to accomplish this look. I linked some similar colors and cuts to the dress above, and I’m loving the Jcrew one!
