The Zhush: Closet Discovery

Closet Discovery

A recent Spring purge and cleaning of my closet led me to rediscover these lovely little Hermes Cartes A' Nouer, or Hermes Knotting Cards. Ironic, since I was actually searching for my own lightweight scarves... a great way to dress in these up coming transitional months. I don't know if would actually wear many of these suggested styles, but they are so pretty to look at. Do you tend to stick with the basics when it comes to scarves, or do you play it up, just like these cards?

pretty pink tulips said...: I love to play with mine. I can't really pull off the halter look, though I adore it. You'll often see me with mine tied around as a belt. Love all these chic looks!!!; 3/30/2011
Anne-Marie @ 10 Rooms said...: So pretty! I've gotten away from these types of scarves, but perhaps it's time to bring them out again - thanks for the inspiration..; 3/30/2011
quintessence said...: I can't tell you how many times I have looked at these creative photos!! I adore scarves and wear one almost every day for 3 seasons. I do try and mix it up but draw the line at actually attire!; 3/30/2011

Helena - A Diary of Lovely said...: I love that you can use it in so many different ways!; 3/30/2011
Stylelinx said...: I love scarves as halters! I'm not into the head cap but I would wear it as a pony-tail accessory! Oh, and I even use them as runners on my table for a punch of color and pattern. Great post!!; 3/30/2011
I Dream Of said...: I'm pretty traditional when it comes to my scarves, but love the idea of tying one as a belt!; 3/30/2011
Camila@effortless-style said...: I love scarfs. I tend to wear them a lot since I'm always chilly.

I'm normally really boring with them, but have rocked them as a belt in the past.; 3/30/2011
David Toms said...: I do like the idea that scarves are so versatile! As belts and halter tops etc I think they are fabulous!; 3/30/2011
Karena said...: Adore the head wrap, and belting jeans or capris! The one shoulder looks great don't know if I can pull it together , so it won;t slip, etc.

Bromeliad said...: I've definitely started wearing more scarves lately, but I've still basically stuck with the "put it around your neck" option.; 3/30/2011
Naomi@DesignManifest said...: The second look cracks me up. I totally would have done this in college. In fact I wore less.

Not so much anymore. I prefer scarves around my neck, or maybe as a belt.; 3/30/2011
Michelle @ Ten June said...: I definitely rock the belt look often! And absolutely would have rocked the "my scarf = my shirt" look in college. Too funny! I wished I could be as bold as J Lo and do the scarf around the head look! Too pretty.; 3/30/2011
Dancing Branflake said...: Oh man, I need some scarves in my life! What a great and underutilized accessory.; 3/30/2011
LiveLikeYou said...: I have drawers full of scarves but can never get around to wearing them. Need to start getting more creative!; 3/30/2011
christine {bijouandboheme} said...: These are so pretty. I'd definitely do the belt and definitely would love to try some of these other ideas- scarves are just so gorgeous-I hate not using them enough.; 3/30/2011
designchic said...: I'm so basic...wishing I could play it up more like the cards!!; 3/30/2011
The enchanted home said...: I have definitely worn it as a bandeau(back in my skinner-washboard abs days) that was sniffle sniffle...too many years ago. But have a few Hermes scarves and they looked beautiful with a tan, and white pants....very chic. The most I would do now is wear them through belt loops which always looks great and tied onto the end of my birkin bag. A scarf is a great investment because they are so classic and timeless. Enjoyed the post.; 3/30/2011
Josie said...: I usually keep it pretty simple with scarves, but I do adore those Hermes knotting cards! Such a great way to be creative with my staple scarves.
