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.
