[...] First, some outfit remarks: This particular silk square scarf is actually from my grandmother’s collection. She decided that she doesn’t wear these kinds of bright colors anymore so she passed it down to me. It’s got a funny vintage carriage design on it with two carriage drivers in the center. This is not a design or motif that I would necessarily pick out for myself, but I realized that it doesn’t actually matter much what’s on the scarf as much as which colors are used for it. Once the scarf is folded, bunched, or tied, there’s often little more that a burst of color to be noticed. (See exhibit B here). [...]

I love this style!
I wore it the other day, as documented in my blog here: http://whatmycatisreading.blogspot.com/2010/02/following-up.html

unfortunately I forgot to take a picture while it was on, but you can be sure I’ll be rocking the ascot more and more now.

THIS is the perfect excuse to buy several large square scarves I’ve been eying on eBay. :D

I was totally inspired by this post when I read it this morning, and rocked the ascot look with my scarf today. I love this!

You look adorable! I am so in love with the shorts and tights thing but I have yet to try it (probably because I dont own any shorts) and adding the bright pop with the scarf looks great.

I love this blog! Wish I’d have known about it while working on my PhD and teaching. What a fun, creative concept for a blog.

Thanks for the illustration of how to tie this scarf! It gives me something to try with this great triangular scarf I got a few years ago, but which I almost never wear because I can’t figure out what to do with it that doesn’t end up making me look like a girl guide!

(Also, this is my first comment on academichic, so I’ll add that, as a Ph.D student trying to embrace a funkier-but-still-school-appropriate style, I’m really glad I found this blog a couple months ago.)
