My sister brought this cream circle scarf to me from Ireland at the begging of December and I have been wearing it non stop ever sense! it is one of the coziest things I own and I love to throw it on when I am just lounging around the house. I have also worn it while out and about as my winter scarf but it wasn’t until I a paired it with this charcoal short sleeved sweater – another one of the coziest things I own – that it felt like an essential part of the ensemble. I wore the scarf all day!
4 January 2010 – Winter Escape, originally uploaded by academichic.These pictures were actually taken this weekend about 30 miles outside of academichic central. it was a beautiful day in a beautiful place and I found myself very happy to be cozy but stylish duds! the snow covered forest at sunset made for a great backdrop, but it kind of makes it difficult to see the many neutrals I have layered here – cream, navy, charcoal, black and brown – but trust me they are all there, in happy coexistence.
Neutrals, originally uploaded by academichic.I have to admit, while I immediately loved the feel of this cozy number, I was at first skeptical of the appearance of the circle on me. I am not a big fan of large cowl necks and I worried that it looked like my head was being swallowed, but as it turns out i am a big fan and wouldn’t mind getting my hands on another one or two! What are your thoughts on the circle scarf?

That outfit looks so cozy! I love that style of scarf. I’ve been thinking about knitting one like that.
ohhhh I just love this look! I love a good cowlneck, so would love having a circle scarf like this one. it is so flattering, adds great interest, and keeps you warm – winning combo! you look great in this outfit!
I think the cowl is marvelous! And you’ve balanced its bulk perfectly with an outfit that is otherwise very sleek.
this outfits looks great! i am a big fan of the circle scarf/cowl (i am wearing a small version right now!) as sometimes it’s nice to have all the coziness of a scarf but without the loose ends that can hang down and get in the way.
It looks very good on you. But I’m shorter and more full-figured. I remember cowls from way back when – it’s not a look for me.
This outfit is great, and I especially like the background. The straggly orange leaves on the trees match the rich browns in your outfit really well. I miss the midwest!
I love them, and they’re so cozy! I have one that I wear all the time!
Oh, I love this look! And the circle scarf is wonderful — it looks like you’re wearing a hug. :-)
I love this! It’s so wintery and cute! You look like you stepped right out of a magazine!

I dont love all circle scarves, and of course it depends on how its worn and what with but I adore this one! I thought at first that it was a cowl neck shirt you were wearing under the charcoal sweater. I really love this whole look.
Adore! It is chic, and it looks so WARM and cozy. I just want to snuggle up in that outfit. It looks perfect for drinkng tea.
That big circle scarf is great, and I love this outdoor shots. Gorgeous!
Oh I love the scarf! You look beautiful.
I am experiencing acute scarf envy! I love this!
Cute outfit! I love snuggly circle scarves, and the colour combo is gorgeous! :D
Great photo background! And the circle scarf almost looks like part of your sweater…like a giant cowl neck – all to say that’s it’s a fabulous outfit!
What great photos! The lighting is perfect! Outfit, too.
Great look! It’s not easy to look that comfortable, warm, and put-together all at once. Love it.
You look lovely! No head-swallowing at all. :)
[...] work. But last Friday as I was perusing my blogroll, I came across inspiration from A. at academichic and Kendi Everyday, and ended up belting the sweater and adding a scarf. The result was a cozy [...]
A.- I live in the same metro area and would love to get out for some winter hiking. Would you be willing to email me where you went? Thanks!
