Looking In My Rearview Mirror

(ZARA cardigan / Tommy Hilfiger shirt / H&M skirt & shoes / ALDO scarf (old) / Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (get it here) / Amrita Singh ring)


This scarf has been proven to be one of my most versatile accessories. I can't remember when I got it, it could be at least 5 years ago. I do remember why I got it,  it was on sale for a couple of dollars ;) I have mostly used it to "dress up" my purses (such as this, this, and this), but one day, instead of wearing a bib necklace under my collar, I thought "Why not turn this scarf into a bow-tie?" I've seen other bloggers did it, so I was really curious to see how it would look on me.

So... what do you think?
I think I look like a flight attendant :p


xx toodles.

Hello cutie patootie! I love this classic look, kind of school girl-ish, but not.

I love the scarf addition! I can't seem to tie bows for the life of me, so I couldn't ever look as prim and proper as you do.

P.S. Can I have the skirt, shoes, shirt, cardigan, scarf, bag and ring? What the heck, just come back here!

I don't think this looks flight attendant at all. Love the skirt!

And I think it looks really cute! ^^ Not very flight attendant at all! their uniforms (almost typed unicorns here. I'm watching Charlie...)are far more boring than this :) xo Nikki

I love this scarf bowtie effect, I've done it a few times myself and I love it. It's playful, expected, even if it looks like a uniform, it usually gets a fun a reaction from friends.

The kicky skirt steers this clear of flight attendant territory, I love this look!

you know what the bow reminds me of? sailor moon/anime school girl :D

newpetite said...

Love this outfit on you! tends to make you look younger but not childish and it is a compliment :-)

Judy said...

I've done this too! Except with a ribbon that was used for a top to tie around the waist. I really like how you did it here, it came together nicely.

I love the look of the scarf worn like that! I'm a huge fan of pussybow blouses so this seems like a good way to recreate the look on non-pussybow blouses. I don't think you look like a flight attendant at all!

xo, alison*elle

Angie said...

another one of my favourite outfits!! you look so classy, like an updated schoolgirl gone to college. the preppiness with the scarf is so flattering, and the pleated skirt! i'm as excited about this as you are about hichew hahaha :D (and the US melon version isn't as tasty imo hmm .. haven't tried the asian/canadian ones yet)

You do not look like a flight attendant at all. I've worn a scarf as a bow-tie a number of times, but never with a collar. It's genius!!

Anita said...

Love your outfit.

i love how you turned your scarf into a bow tie, not many can pull this of, but you can, its so cute and elegant on you

Marie a la Mode said...

You look soooo cute Kristy! I was thinking more school girl than flight attendant ; ). And a very stylish school girl at that!

Anonymous said...

Love the look! Don't think it's flight attendant-y at all! I would never have thought to wear a scarf like that, but it looks so much more chic and really pulls the outfit together!
