The Pillow Scarf

November 30, 2015
I was walking down Michigan Avenue wearing this scarf. A group of guys stopped me and asked if I would take a copy of their mixtape for a small donation. I politely declined, and in playful retaliation, one of them began singing "She's got a pillow on her neck." The rest chimed in and I was suddenly the punchline of a joke with a melody. I couldn't help but laugh, and from that moment on, this was the pillow scarf.

Although this Zara scarf may be oversized, it's warm and practical. It may resemble a pillow, a blanket or other bedding materials, but I like to be cozy, so I'm alright with it.

This is one of my favorite looks this season. It's comfortable, cute and fairly simple. I wear this exact outfit or a combination of it on a regular basis. My inspiration for this look began a couple of months ago when I was on a mission to find a pair of black skinny jeans with knee slits. It's a new look for me, but I absolutely love it. It's edgy and cool, and appropriate for several occasions.

Outfit Destinations:
Class
House party

Because this necklace is so dramatic, I paired it with an LBD, kept it simple and in line with my personal aesthetic.
