Scarves Ode to Annie Faivre

[aethra21]

Here is my quick "how to" using two different 90 silk twill scarves. Sometimes I use two colorways of the same design; other times i use two scarves in different designs but in a similar color spectrum; as well as two contrasting colors and designs, depending on my mood.

Step 1: fold each scarf into a triangle. Position as indicated below.

Step 2: take the top end of each scarf and tie a knot behind your neck.

Step 3: make small double knots in the middle (where the scarves would meet in front of your torso) like this:

And a second double knot:

Note: you can do one to three small knots depending on how much skin you want to show!

Step 4: flip scarves over so that the knots are facing your body and can not be seen from the front view.

Step 5: put scarf top on your body, with the knot behind your neck and worn like a halter top. Take the free ends that are hanging down in the front and tie behind your back as shown.

Step 6: there will be "extra" free ends hanging in the front (from each of the scarf designs) that are too short to tie behind your waist. You can tie these in the front leaving the "tails" hanging in the front, or not tie them at all and leave them as is hanging down, or tie them in a double knot and tuck the ends up and into your new scarf top.

Hope this helps!

Hi Lala, how does it look from the back, is it totally backless or does it have enough scarf to tie around the back too...

Thank you so much for sharing your quick "how to" - I totally love it!!

I wear a long waisted halter top underneath for added security and coverage in the back. I don't think there's enough scarf remaining to tie completely around the back, or at least my back. HTH!

Many thanks to Tango Tosca for starting and maintaining this thread! I have a bunch of shots to add, some older and not very good pictures. Most of them I no longer have because the colors didn't work out on me.

Pierina, thank you so much for taking to time to post your beautiful collection of Annie scarves. Too bad that not all of them worked out for you in the end, but I'm certain they're being appreciated by some other happy ladies right now.

This week I picked up Trésors Retrouvés in the navy/black/emerald colorway. I had been hesitating about it all season, but then I read that there will be no Annie Faivre design for fall, so I decided to pull the trigger. So glad I did! I find it a very easy-to-wear cw, since I wear a lot of navy and it goes well with denim too... It joins the other AF design currently in my collection, La Charmante aux Animaux.
