If your neck is freezing right now–and whose isn’t–here’s a stylish scarf tying technique I posted last year.  I learned about the Pretzel Knot from style blogger Elaine Parisi (OMG Lifestyle Blog).

Use a long, rectangular scarf or pashmina to create this very flattering look. Remember my blog about losing our necks in our scarves (Hey, Where Did My Neck Go?) Ha. You won’t do that with this technique.

My wonderful friend Helen gave me another great scarf idea. If you have a large square scarf, but the size and texture make it too big and bulky to wear, simply cut the scarf in half–at a diagonal–and create two smaller triangles.

Brava, Helen. Thanks for the fabulous tip!

Stay warm, friends!
