Happy Thursday everyone! The weekend is almost here and you know most of us are always working for the weekend (at least I know I do)!
Today I decided to do a little bit of a different post. I am doing a look that I wore to work that could pass for everyday or maybe casual Friday for most of us. Here is what I wore:
Then I got to thinking about easily this outfit could go from day to a casual night out just by a switch of the shoes and taking off the jacket:
Another thing I got to thinking about when getting dressed was that I really wanted an infinity scarf, but I didn't have one. So I took matters into my own hands.
 |
| I started off with one of my long scarves, folded it long ways, and safety pinned the ends together |
 |
| Once all safety pins are secure, wrap the scarf around your neck twice |
 |
| Voila! You have a homemade infinity scarf! It's not rocket science, but I wonder why I never thought of it before. It's much cleaner and less of a hassle than dealing with tying a knot and having to play with the knot all day. |
I guess I am full of thoughts in this post. It's amazing how a little bit of determination can spark your creativity buttons.
Have you ever had a lightbulb go off and you think "Duh, why didn't I think of that?"
Loving the leopard today, especially the pumps. I own several leopard scarves (one in the classic colors, like yours), the others in fun colors. I will try making one of them into an Infity Look. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLeopard pink is a favorite of mine, so I'm really loving this look. You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf idea! I have a chunk of fabric that I cut off an old dress that I've wanted to use...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea making the infinity scarf. I actually took an infinity scarf today and I am wearing it as a belt. Love that scarves are so versatile!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I especially love the outfit with the leopard pumps.
ReplyDeleteThe lightbulbs were definitely going off with you Heather and all of this lovely inspiration!!! I have so many long scarves just sitting around. YOU have given me an idea! Wooo Hoo!!! I love both looks!!! That jacket, jeans, top and infinity scarf look GREAT together! The shoes totally transform the look. Great thinking and Great job!

That is a great idea for the scarf! I have tried twisting scarves into an infinity scarf on my own too and haven't made it look nice, pinning it would definitely help! I want to try that out now!
ReplyDeleteI love both sets of shoes and how they each transform the outfit! Very nice overall!
Great job on the scarf. Never thought of using safety pins before!
ReplyDeletevery creative with the infinity scarf! I love the leopard

Love the double dose of leopard print and great way of draping the scarf!

That infinity scarf idea is genius! I love infinity scarves but only have 1 in my closet so this is a great tip. I love outfits that can transition easily from day to night with just a few simple changes.

Great scarf tip. You are too cute :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blazer and scarf:) Following you on GFC and Bloglovin! It will be great if you check my blog and maybe follow me back:)
ReplyDeleteKisses, Lucy!
How cute is your scarf? Great idea!
ReplyDeleteDuh! moment: necklaces can easily be shortened and lengthened. To shorten, put necklace on, pinch behind neck at desired length, knot or hairtie at pinched point. To lengthen, rather than hooking necklace loop to clasp, hook loop to clasp of a (non-elastic) bracelet, and the loop of a bracelet to clasp of necklace. I did a post about it here.

Love it! I've done the tying a knot trick to make an infinity scarf, but I like your way better.
ReplyDeleteI actually wore my leopard scarf to work in an infinity loop after standing for a few long minutes in front of the mirror debating on a way to wear it. Great minds think alike, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteThese two looks are quite different though you haven't actually changed anything drastic. Love how appropriate (and stylish) they look for both scenarios.
I am a true sucker for leopard print, so these outfits are my favorite!! Love how you did your scarf too, need to try that!

Instead of using safe pin I just tie the two end of the scarf together.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute look for a Friday work outfit.
I'm going to try this! I have exactly one scarf that might just work.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I had on a scarf the other day with the ends flopping around and thought it would be great to sew them together. This is a less permanent, yet highly effective solution!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip and TGIF!
I make my own infinity scarves all the time - so happy to see someone else doing it, too! I love this scarf and jacket together - very, very chic!
ReplyDeleteYes! I couldn't find a flannel infinity scarf so I made my own too!
