What I Wore: 5.31.09
I just got this thin cotton scarf that’s covered with cool geometric patterns at Forever 21 this weekend and am totally obsessed. Accessorizing with it makes all of my old clothes feel new again! Get yours here.

Haha! Oh man, thanks for addressing my concerns about scarves! I recently bought 3 different ones and am more than confused as how to wear them without looking like a total dorkface. I guess draping it around your neck just works. I am pleased.
I should try it with a tank, that’s probably better than a blouse.
With that said, I love this combo! I dig your watch.

melissa dominic: I felt the same way also! There’s so many different ways to wear these scarves. I didn’t get mine twisted quite right in the photos, but you get the idea….I’ve seen these also worn more bandana-style around the neck.

I love how new accessories can instantly revitalize old clothes. It’s like STYLE MAGIC.

I am a big scarf person. I think I own more scarves than actual clothing. It’s great because it can totally change an entire outfit. I live in Montreal, and we UNFORTUNATELY do not have Forever21. Total Bummer, they’ve got great stuff.
Anyhoot, cute find Nubby!

I love scarves too, but am always nervous about wearing them in this way due to the political connotations… :/

Samantha: I wouldn’t consider the one I have to be a kiffeyeh since it has funky little geometric patterns and is more fashion-inspired. I guess some people could think that there’s a resemblance though.

I recalled that controversy on the scarf trend when celebrities were spotted wearing the kiffeyeh. Dunkin Donuts’ ad got canceled because Rachel Ray was wearing a scarf that resembled the kiffeyeh. I think yours doesn’t resemble the prayer scarf as much though. Love your shoes BTW!

Being someone who is of middle eastern origin I feel it is my obligation to educate a little on this matter.. Nubby’s scarf is nowhere near being a keffiyeh, and most importantly the keffiyeh is NOT a prayer scarf. It holds a political meaning, not a religious one. Although wikipedia is not a reliable source, it paints a pretty clear picture of what the keffiyeh is all about.
