And yes, the memories make it extra special. :)</p> <p>Thanks Day Vies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1289347 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:13:30 +0000 Day Vies 1289347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tres chic! I love tying a scarf like this around my neck (not tight but without a lot of slack) I make a secure knot then pull from the knot to create more space around my neck. I would simply fold the scarf into a triangle and continue folding until I have a long length then tie at the neck letting both end dangle over the front of my shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1289281 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:05:55 +0000 Neel 1289281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very Parisian chic! Pretty scarf and even more pretty because it has memories :). I wear my silk square scarves the same way as you...perhaps a safety pin would help to keep the scarf put? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1289156 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:30:27 +0000 Anonymous 1289156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, that's such a beautiful scarf. I love the nonchalant way you draped it and the pattern mixing and texture from your top and tights work so well. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1289153 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:26:53 +0000 Deborah 1289153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1289098 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 06:29:58 +0000 Astrid 1289098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaileen! Yes, I might try the tiny knot idea too in the future. Or the tiny safety pin, if I manage to find one.</p> <p>Thanks Angie and Ladywone!</p> <p>Thanks Lyn.

One of my favorite resources for scarf folding is <a href="http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/</a>.

I have trouble with scarves, too. I love how it looks but I've had to tie the two ends together in a very tiny knot to keep from losing it altogether. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288485 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 18:32:04 +0000 Astrid 1288485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn and Suz! I'm definitely going to try the hidden knot.</p> <p>Thanks Inge! I agree, it doesn't look prim this way, but worn loose like this I have to adjust it too much. I'm used to my cotton scarves that I can just throw on, so I didn't quite know what to do with this to make it more practical.</p> <p>Thanks Carambola!</p> <p>Thanks NDMom! I think my sister has some of these really strong small magnets, I have to ask her the next time I see her.</p> <p>Thanks Unfrumped! I agree, that look wouldn't be something I'd wear.</p> <p>Thanks Heleen! Well, I could have thought of that myself. Going to check out Angie's advice in a moment.</p> <p>Thanks Columbine and Alasse!</p> <p>Merci beaucoup, Una!</p> <p>Thanks Ramya. I'm going to see if I can find one of the really small safety pins I know I have somewhere...</p> <p>Thanks Gracie!</p> <p>Thanks Rachylou! I'm definitely going to try that if I find one of mine.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288465 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 18:12:57 +0000 rachylou 1288465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>C'est super-chic!</p> <p>Tiny hidden safety pin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288441 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 17:38:32 +0000 Gracie 1288441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh La La!&nbsp; loving the outfit with your Oma's beautiful scarf...

I really like how you're wearing it and with the stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288381 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:11:54 +0000 HeleenH 1288381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Oma's shawl is absolutely beautiful and you are wearing it in a great combination. I remember my mother had a certain kind of silver scarf ring (three rings in one) that was inherited from her mother or oma, for shawls.&nbsp; I wonder if you could use one of those.<br />Or else the knot that is suggested above.<br />I googled for you and found some information on a very nice blog <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/03/30/how-to-keep-a-slippery-scarf-in-place/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/03/.....-in-place/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288379 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:11:05 +0000 unfrumped 1288379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doesn't look prim this way. I agree that the silky scarves can float and flop more. What sometimes looks prim to me is tied very tight or high on neck. Also the ascot look can be very hard to pull off, for me at least. I like the looser more informal way you're wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288346 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:37:30 +0000 NDMom 1288346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How sweet that you can wear Oma's beautiful scarf....and so stylishly as well! &nbsp;This may be way off and too wild, but I read on one site to use small magnets? &nbsp;Haven't tried it....but could work if strategically placed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288340 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:34:26 +0000 carambola 1288340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Tres chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288339 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:34:16 +0000 Inge 1288339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the scarf (so fab that you can wear your Oma's beautiful scarf)&nbsp;looks prim at all worn this way, Astrid. (especially not paired with the modern stripes, great pattern mixing).&nbsp;And you definitely have French chic going on here, adore this outfit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288322 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:14:28 +0000 Suz 1288322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit!!&nbsp;</p> <p>And, what Lyn said. I tie a tiny knot and make it secret with tucks. It still slides a bit but not so much and at least it will not fall off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288317 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 15:11:27 +0000 lyn* 1288317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sometimes tie a secret knot in it and tuck the knot in so it's not sticking out ... it won't drape as nicely as you have it here, but it won't be flouncing all over either because of how slippery it is either.</p> <p>Love the stripes and the monochromatic vibe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288293 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 14:50:29 +0000 Astrid 1288293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rute! It looks great with the scarf I agree, it's just not very practical.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! You know, I still love pattern mixing - but it has to be more 'muted' now. Just enough to look interesting without being too hectic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---feeling-french-chic-with-my-omas-scarf#post-1288283 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 14:32:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1288283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love the pattern mixing here Astrid with the hose, stripes and scarf - just beautiful. </p> <p>Like Rute I really like the way you are wearing the scarf. No tips on how to keep it put though. </p>
