Yall. Isn’t it kinda weird how scarves blur the line between ‘functional’ and ‘completely unnecessary’ depending on the weather? h8 people who ‘wear scarves when it is 65 degrees outside.’
Men with scarves = kinda like entry level altbags, or maybe like ‘people who shopped at the GAP for too long.’ Girls with scarves seem like they are ‘trying 2 hard 2 be kutesy’, but that might be bc of the limited range of scarves. Wearing a scarf does not give u an Instant-Brand like a lot of other possibly-useless accessories. S0 many types of scarves.
h8 u Palestinian scarves. trying 2 forget abt 2k8, yall.
[via lookbook]
h8 plain bitches/mainstreamers in scarves
h8 ‘zany scarves’
Don’t mind altbaguettes in progressive scarves that challenge existing design concepts
Do yall know if scarves that look like the blanket/quilt that ur mom has on the couch for people whose legs get cold is going 2 be big in 2k9?

What’s next after the scarf? Trying 2 identify the core competencies of a scarf, and how we can make scarf technology a lil bit more obsolete? Are scarves essential+necessary, or are they kinda like the drinking straw?
Hopefuly American Apparel puts rain ponchos into production soon. Probs would wear one even when it’s not raining to make sure that my personal brand was differentiated from every1.
So this is the new year // and I (do/don’t) feel n e different, yall!
Has n e 1 ever knitted a meaningful scarf 4 u as a gift? Do u think they made it as a labor of love, or are scarves just ‘the easiest thing 4 entry levelers to knit’?

I think the problem with keffiyehs isn’t that they’re played out, but that they’re all worn in the same way and have been for several years now. The only way to wear a keffiyeh and be “authentic” is to wrap it the traditional way, just like Lawrence of Arabia did.

I just heard of your site, it seems to get lots of attention, but really i think u should write about “How having a hate blog is cool in 2k9″ Because they really seems to be everywhere, but wait “ur the originator right?” maybe going out of your way to say whats not cool is the cool thing to do. Pop this blog out the way and get out away from you computer sometime and do something productive. You shouldn’t be mad at this either because I’m a hater so were on the same page about it all but really whats sharing it with everyone on the net do for u, make u cool? Nope! Keep it for storytelling with your friends, if u have some.

I don’t see too many guys with scarfs but when I do I always do a double take and think…. is that the same guy? And it never is… but they all seem to look the same. Also seems slightly trendy within emoish/not very eclectic indie bands that don’t really want to be indie but want to go mainstream.

I’m all about the blanket style scarf. It adds dramatic volume and functional warmth.
I completely disagree that women’s scarf styles are limited: vintage patterned silk, gauzy ethereal numbers, and sarongs can all be worn to great effect.
Reply
buy scarves from dollar bins in thrift stores or make own. recycling + crafting=self-righteous fashion.
crls I wanna knit you a conceptual scarf to keep you warm at authentic outdoors gatherings. <3

i think this was an exceptionally good post u have written because everyone can relate to it b/c everyone has a mum who puts quilts on the couch in case someone gets cold.
