Perfect for the heat!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you can carry off the scarf on the hip thing...but my worry was same as yours -- I wondered if it would twist and bunch on me. I am thinking now that it might depend less on a person's body type than on the fabrics (how slippery?) and also how fast a person walks? Carla said it was ok for her. I haven't tried it yet but I suspect fuss factor for myself, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393392 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 13:36:39 +0000 Cookie 2393392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the vote of confidence on the seashell dress, which I liked enough to pay full price for but elicited “I … don’t HATE it” from my partner, lol.</p> <p>I wear scarves as sashes all the time but mostly they are the long thin scarves, not big square ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393387 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:27:14 +0000 Bijou 2393387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great! I always love those odd occasions when I accidentally participate in a trend, it usually feels more me than a deliberate attempt. I occasionally use a scarf as a belt, but like the dress, skirt or pants to have belt rings to keep the scarf in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393200 Fri, 08 Aug 2025 19:22:20 +0000 Lisa 2393200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun you are participating in the trends. The scarf detail is lovely at the waist but if it is too fussy, then it's a pass. I don't plan to participate in this trend. Years ago I used to tie the scarf around my waist as a belt, it drove me batty because an actual belt is so much easier to get on and off for the bathroom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393102 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 23:50:44 +0000 Jaime 2393102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress and entire outfit look great. The scarf looks good too but I would not be able to deal with a finicky accessory either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393071 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 18:56:16 +0000 Angie 2393071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cookie</b>, dress #1 is a super duper silhouette on you! KILLER fit.</p> <p>I totally echo <b>Carol</b> on the dress and scarf in #2! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393053 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 17:06:44 +0000 Mirjana 2393053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dresses. I also tried the scarf that way a month ago for one of my dresses and realized that is not for me, only for thin person. It makes my hips too big. So I understand you, not for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393052 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 16:58:14 +0000 Carol 2393052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First pic--I see you in a lot of skirts, but I quite like the dress! And with the sandals.<br />Second--that scarf looks quite at home--I think you could pull it off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393046 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 16:06:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2393046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab summer one and done dressing Cookie. I am always on the lookout for summer dresses that tick all my boxes. Those look like good candidates. I will be passing on this scarf tying trend as well. Besides not suiting my shape it seems too finnickety for my liking, which you just confirmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trend-participation#post-2393044 Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:59:17 +0000 Cookie 2393044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my not quite sardine but seashell dress, worn with the snakeskin sandals to complete the accidental trend theme.</p> <p>While I was at it, I tried this scarf thing you said was all the rage. I think my hips are too big for it to stay in place well so it’s irksome and a thumbs down on me. </p>
