Okay, I hate to admit this, but I am enormously out of step with current fashion trends. I do not like wearing scarves! Actually, I have an aversion to anything tied or tight about my neck... scarves, turtlenecks, heavy necklaces, noose ropes...
In my twenties, I had some neck problems and was told by the Doc that I have what they call a 'swan neck' (long and bony... maybe it was stretched at birth?). At first, I was disturbed by the news, picturing more of a 'goose neck'. But then I discovered that many successful ballerinas also have this phenomena. Ha! I knew I should have been a dancer!
Speaking of dancer, Isadora Duncan would have lived longer if she had felt the same way about scarves.
So, back to my aversion. Why on earth do I have so many scarves in my closet?
Of course, scarves accumulate over the years and don't get thrown out with every change in weight or fashion trend. And I do like to pick up a pretty scarf as a souvenir when on vacation. Here is my latest silk acquisition from a trip to Rome last fall. I think its prettier tied about an antique handbag, than about my 'goose' neck.
Here are a couple more ways I can tolerate wearing a scarf:

If you like to wear scarves, but don't want to mess with the tying bit, there are some beautiful 'infinity' scarves. Here is a Pride and Prejudice one I purchased for my daughter:

And if you are like Zsa Zsa and don't mind having your neck wrung..... you might try the hundreds of ways of tying a scarf. (I do not recommend the Sumo Wrestler look) and keep the scissors handy.

Happy Tying!
