We all love the look of a beautiful shawl draped romantically around the shoulders, especially when paired with a gorgeous flowy dress. But the look is hard to pull off when you have a million errands and the grocery shopping to do. And when the weather is cold and blustery, thus possibly blowing that shawl right off of your body. Here's a neat little trick: take a couple of removable stitch markers or coiless safety pins and pin the ends together. Then drape the shawl a couple of times around your neck, kinda like an oversized cowl. Unfussy shawl wearing at its best with the added benefit of keeping your neck warm and protected.

What a great idea. I have a lot of shawl pins, but most are the stick kind, and can be dislodged too easily. Plus, secured under my neck might give me an unwanted poke. I did see a lovely pin at a local shop that I may have to get on Wednesday if it's still there.
ReplyDeletegreat idea about the coiless pins....i think you've just doubled my scarf wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great way to use markers and coiless pins. Thanks ! Also, the outfit You've put together there is the greatest and that's how I dress most of the time. Most of my shawls whether bought or made are more casual. I'm not much into the delicate frilly shawl. I think shawls and jeans are a great combo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the colors on this one, and your tips are very helpful. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have so many shawls I knit but never wear because I feel they're not practical. And your outfit is smashing as usual.
ReplyDeleteLove your Daybreak - and that is a really clever idea, I will definitely have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI love wearing casual shawls and never thought of pinning them together with a stitch marker, good idea!
