Here's the thing about me and scarves. I buy a lot of scarves because:
(a) they're fun, frothy, frolicsome pieces of fancy fabric; and,
(b) they're something I can buy at a snooty store where I otherwise couldn't afford to buy anything; and,
(c) they don't place any burdens on me to grow taller (expensive designer clothing), get a boob job (swimsuits), endure intense pain (shoes), or become younger (just about everything).
So yeah, I have a lot of scarves. Long scarves. Square scarves. Prints. Solids. Dull. Bright. Lacey. Ugly. Gorgeous. Big. Small. Stupidly expensive scarves. Thrift store scarves.
But my dirty little secret is that I NEVER KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO DO WITH THEM! I tie a scarf around my neck and what do I have? Nothing. I tie it in a bow? Little Lord Fauntleroy. I throw it rakishly over my shoulder? I worry all night about doing an Isadora Duncan. I bunch it up loosely around my collar (which my friend Val does effortlessly and with panache)? I've got a bunched up ball of fabric under my chin.
Then I found out what the rest of the world -- including nomadic ladies traveling on camels across the Sahara, including hearty fish-eating gals in the polar tundra -- has known for centuries! You're supposed to use a SCARF CLIP!
And BOY are there EVER a lot of scarf clips out there. I know because when I got the scarf clip news I went bonkers on eBay and bid on 45,000 of them. And yes, now I have more scarf clips than scarves...and I still NEVER KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO DO WITH THEM!
