By George! I think I finally got it!

I have been trying to figure out the belted scarf look forever.  I just wasn't able to pull it off in my opinion.  Frankly, I looked like I had decorative ace bandages across my boobs.  It has not been a pretty site.  I cannot tell you how many times I had this great image in my head of how this look was going to be fabulous only to look in the mirror and cringe.


I came across an ad in a magazine the other day and thought... ah ha!  I can pull that off (I think).  It is just a small picture in a large ad for the
Land's End Canvas Collection.

I figure, I have similar pieces to what she is wearing, if I copy the exact same thing, why wouldn't it work right??

 

Here is my attempt.....

 I actually pulled it off!

I may never wear a belted scarf except for when I wear this outfit, but I can say I conquered the look!  My box is checked and I can move on to the next fashion trend.

LOL, the bottom of my French Braid is coming out.  I had it tucked up into the nape of my neck.
