End Notes:
It’s no secret that all three of us at academichic are big fans of scarves, and I am always looking for new ways to tie, wrap, or knot my collection. Today, I was inspired by S.’s use of two scarves at the same time. I grabbed two of my lighter scarves, layered them together, and then tied them using the “knot” method from this video on how to tie winter scarves.
Scarf Knot, originally uploaded by academichic.
I draped the scarves around my neck, keeping one side longer than the other. Then, I tied a knot about two-thirds of the way down on the longer tail. Finally, I tucked the shorter end through the loop of the knot and then fussed and tugged until I was happy with how things draped. I’m definitely adding this to my usual repertoire of scarf-tying techniques.
Also, I don’t know why it took me so long this season to tuck my gray jeans into these knee high black boots, but now I’m fairly certain you’ll be seeing more of this pairing. Sometimes I feel like it takes me a few weeks of cold weather to get reacquainted with what my freezing-temperatures wardrobe can do.

Those scarves are a match made in heaven – they look like a single scarf! And I bet that leather jacket is unbearably soft …
I’m loving this look of two scarves worn together. I’ll have to try it once it sometime when it really gets cold (as in below 50)
I love this! You look rocker chic!
I LOVE this look! At first, I thought that was just one big fabulous scarf. The short jacket (my Mom has a leather jacket from a trip to South America and it’s buttery soft) and the long white shirt, and the green-hued scarves and gray pants are both great and unexpected combos.
Great idea! I must try this!
grrrrrreat!!!
What a FIERCE post! From the leather jacket to the scarves, this outfit just screams amazing.
Btw, I absolutely love your hair, and when mine grows out a bit more, I think I’m going to have to steal your style.
Can’t wait to try wearing two scarves together!
I’m so jealous of that jacket!! I’ve been wanting to try the double-scarf look, and I’m happy it can be done with winter scarves as well as lighter-weight summer ones. You look fabulous!
i didn’t realize it was 2 scarves. ingenious!
I am definitely going to be stealing this scarf look! I thought it was one scarf until I kept reading.
I’m loving how the scarf looks with a shorter jacket!
Love this look! Beautiful jacket. (I like to turn the flash on when the sun’s that bright, to avoid high-contrast shadows.)
ooh, thanks for the vid link.
and…
this is permission to buy more scarves, right? I mean since they’re doubled up and all…
:-)
also, E – I think you’re the cutest ever!
