How To Tie A Scarf Like Jennifer Aniston


Say what you will about Jennifer Aniston. Her choice in men (John Mayer, really?!) and movie roles may be sketchy, but the woman really knows how to tie a scarf. This is something every woman should know how to do, but it befuddles some of us.
 

This is where women with sisters are in luck. Sisters share this kind of information practically telepathically. But there are those of us in the world without sisters… and for us, there is “you tube”. Did you know you can “you tube” how to tie a scarf? 

You can “you tube” how to do pretty much anything, which is a particularly fantastic use of technology for those of us who struggle with some simple household chores, like how to change a lightbulb in that funky sconce we bought awhile back. (I’m talking about my fella here. Of course guru girl would know how to change a light bulb. And no, I don’t want to hear the “how many blondes does it take to change a lightbulb” joke.)

So the next time you find yourself tearing out your hair over how to do something that seemingly everyone else knows how to do, do exactly what everyone else does and surf over to “you tube” for some instruction.

If you are too lazy to do that right now, I add (for your viewing pleasure) guru girl demonstrating two, terrific scarf tying tricks. They’ll take your outfit from “ho hum” to “ho, mama” in a hot minute. (I actually got these tricks from my friend Audrey so am not crediting the you tube channel from whence they sprang, but trust me, there’s lots of scarf tying footage out there should my photo essay, courtesy of Audrey The Scarf Whisperer, not prove instructive enough.)

Scarf Look #1
Step 1: Fold scarf in half, hold loop open.
Step 2: Insert end of scarf through loop.


Step 3: Pull scarf end through & fluff.
 
Scarf Look #2
Step 1: Drape scarf ends behind you.
Step 2: Cross scarf ends behind you and flip them back over your shoulders.
Step 3: Tie ends in a knot before you & fluff.
 
 
 
Happy winter, guru girls & the guys who admire them!
