Vintage Chanel Scarves: Part Two

As Rebecca already told you, our friend was ever so kind to lend us her mother's vintage Chanel scarves to style in a post, so it's my turn to show you what I did with it.

Way to Wear #1
If you're not feeling too creative, then just wear it as what its meant to be worn as: a scarf. I liked how the ladylike fabric and colors contrasted with my dark grungy outfit and also gave it a more rocker look.

Way to Wear #2:
What better way to wear the menswear-for-women trend than to turn your scarf into a jumbo bow tie! The scarf (or should I say bow tie) and a pair of sky high heels are a fun way to dress up your boyfriend jeans.



Way to Wear #3:
If you're feeling silly and don't mind getting some pitiful looks then you can channel your favorite super hero and become a super hero of fashion. All you need is a cape and some crazy eyes and you're good to go. (Cheesy, I know but I was a bit delirious from the extremely long school day)


Way to Wear #4:
Wear the scarf as a belt to make the look more casual

Vintage Chanel Scarves: Part I


Once upon a time there was a girl, who had an older sister, who liked to excavate through her mothers' old things. 
Well, one day (two weeks ago) this older sister- let's call her Ray- was doing her usual rummaging when 
ALL OF A SUDDEN 
she found 
TWO. VINTAGE. CHANEL. SCARVES.

Brimming with excitement like a cup of fluid at a water cooler convention, 
she ran to her younger sister- we'll call her Shay- to share her great finds!
Shay, seeing these scarves, straightaway thought of her two friends Rebecca and Leetal, and their new blog darndailyduds. 
As fast as her two opposable thumbs could type, she shot over a text with the gracious offer of letting the two use these new-found scarves in a post on darndailyduds. 


This is that post.

Way to Wear #1
Tie to your bag for a subtle pop of color and to get another texture and flow involved for some visual interest.
