After shopping for for a new thin scarf on Thursday with little success I decided to go home and revisit the scarves hanging lonely in my closet.
I buy scarves. . . and then wrap them around my neck .. .
re wrap them differently around my neck . ..
and because I'm in my year of jubilee . .
I get hot 10 minutes later and take it off.
The scarves for outdoor wear ..
I want warm.
The scarves that are fashion accessories . ..
I want cool.
I pulled out all my light colored scarves . . .
made a "split" second decision .. .
and sliced the first one up the center.
I put white thread in my serger. . .
and gave it a quick serge . . .
and after trying it on. . .
proceeded to divide them all.
All weekend long . . .
I've been wearing my scarves.
I'm not sure a fashion consultant would be convinced that they look better thin. . . .
but I'll tell her one thing. . .
they feel better thin.
So . . .I have a few dark colored scarves hanging in my closet . . .
and unless someone stops me. . .
they'll be split by noon today.
They look better to me split! :0) Too bad you don't have a twin sister...
ReplyDeleteLook out...she has a serger and she's not afraid to use it!
ReplyDeleteI think they look a lot better. Not as bulky. I need to get me a few of those!
ReplyDeletewell isn't that a clever idea.....twin sister.....how about your all those sisters by love....like, mgcc, daughters by love your brothers wives the other sisters by love.....and so on and so forth...wink.
ReplyDeleteI think the split idea is perfect. I'll trade you my halves for your halves. Re-gifting.....why not! I'm in my closet today for some de-cluttering so I will let you know what your choices are. I know the hot/cold issue....you saw me taking on and off all day Thursday. Kathy (MGCC)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I think I'll go scarf shopping with someone who wants to split scarves with me. Half the price...twice the use. Have serger...will split!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you!!! I like my thin ones, I lucked out, with the best. At this stage in my life I don't need something hot around my neck. I was wondering about those extra scarves too. Do I qualify for a twin sister?
ReplyDeleteI'm not stopping you! They look great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteLovella the thin scarves are lovely, just right and I think, an improvement on bulky.
ReplyDeleteLovella you look like a young girl!

Great Idea, Lovella!....and great fashion shots! You look like a model in the angled photo!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of splitting - but I don't have a serger and I am "straight seam challenged. Any one want to help out?
They look great and I'm sure that they feel better. I may take to splitting scarves very soon myself.
ReplyDeletelovella you are too cute- loved this post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Besides finding thick scarves to be too hot, I don't have a long, swan-like neck, so a thin scarf would fit into that neck space much better!
ReplyDeleteGenius! Now if only I had a serger... or any sewing skills at all, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI've certainly got the on, off, on, off down pat :)

ReplyDeleteThey look much better and I think I will send mine down to your place...Maybe you have started a new fashion trend.
