@ooh is that silk (Btw I love your name!) - I don't think so! i'm petite with a short or regular length neck. I find that as long as the scarf isn't too bulky and you don't tie it too many times around, it is still wearable. I would leave the multiple-winding-around-the-neck thing to our swan-necked sisters, though
@Angie - ooh, can't wait to see that! It will look lovely with your long neck and short hair.
