A
few weeks ago I posted a minimalistic outfit, where I used a scarf as
a jacket/shawl.
I

convenient in a lot of ways, that I will show you later.''
As promised I will show you what you can do with it!
It might sound crazy but
this piece of rectangular fabric is one of the favorites in my
wardrobe. I don't leave my house without it. When I'm not wearing it
as a scarf or shawl, I have it with me in my bag. Maybe it has
something to do with my background. You may not see it, because I'm a
natural blond, but my grandmother comes from Indonesia. My mother
taught me how to wear a sarong when I was a child. From that point on
I found several ways on my own to wear such a piece of fabric.
Nowadays I use a more modern fabric in a modern way.
The scarf is perfect for
unpredictable weather. When it gets colder it's handy to hide in the
shawl. When my shirt, dress, pants or skirt are ruined by, for
example, food (I'm a messy eater) or something else, this scarf is
useful to replace the dirty or ruined clothes. When you go on
vacation and your baggage is late (let's hope not) you always have
your scarf with you that you can wear in a lot of ways. It also is a
perfect piece to take with you to a festival. When you are a bit
creative you will be astonished by all the options this scarf offers.
You don't need much more to take with you as far as clothing. Just
some simple basic things.
This scarf comes from
Perfectly Basics and is made of micro modal. This fabric makes it
drape perfectly around you. This scarf is out of stock, but I can
recommend to buy something similar or a piece of quality fabric at a
fabric store, to make your own scarf from.
Be
careful with choosing the fabric. Make sure it has several
requirements like; it's stretchy, a bit heavy, so it can drape
beautifully around you and very important the fabric has to be
opaque. The size of this one is 200cm by 100cm. I'm 168cm and for me
this is the perfect size.
