Mari-Jo On The Various Uses of Scarves

I developed a thing for scarves when I lived in Mexico in 2008-2009. Since then I have started collecting them. My favorite is a gray one with a Celtic design that I got at a shop downtown. I love combining a scarf with almost any outfit, of course there are certain outfits you cannot combine a scarf with, I have not seen a scarf look good with a turtle neck, but then again I have not tried. I just think it is kind of redundant; the neck of the shirt serves the same purpose as the scarf. I recently made a discovery about scarves as a result of a broken wrist, they have many more uses then I thought. If any of you have ever broken your wrist you will know that they don’t give you a hard cast right away unless the swelling is not very bad, they need to wait until the swelling goes down, so they give you a splint, which can be easily removed. Has anyone ever tried taking a shower or doing any activity, such as washing dishes, which requires both hands, with a hematoma and/or a broken wrist? Washing your hair is really difficult! My only real problem was that I did not know what to do with my left wrist, which could not support itself. I was going to cut up a sheet that I had turned into a New Years banner, but I did not want to wreck it. I then decided to fashion a sling out of a pink scarf my mother had gotten me a while back. It worked, I had a way to support my wrist and in a very fashionable way. There are also many other things you can do with scarves besides the original purpose. You can tie you younger siblings to a chair, and I am sure if you tried hard enough and owned a sufficient number of scarves you could probably create a rope ladder to climb out of a window, but who would actually try this. Anyways, scarves are very handy accessories, they keep you stylish and warm and have many other uses, just be creative.
This first entry might be kind of boring, but hey I am just getting started. If anyone has anything that they want me to blog about just leave a comment and I will write about the topic if I know anything about it.
