Travel Style Hack:
1 Scarf, 30 Ways with Coutourist

Sunday, September 27, 2015


"Lightweight. Easy Storage. Countless Ways To Style."

What I've learned from this past year of adventure is that travel calls for the utmost convenience. Especially as a blogger, I often spend much too long planning vacation outfits that are both photo-ready and baggage-friendly. For the ultimate travel style hack, I'm partnering with Coutourist over the next five weeks to share thirty ways to wear one silk scarf to lighten that luggage load without compromising style. 

Follow along today as I explore NYC while taking on the Coutourist Challenge with my first six scarf looks, because sometimes less is more.

A Carryon Upgrade.

Before embarking on your day's adventures, pack your travel bag in style with a bold silk statement. A bow accent is a great way to store your scarf in style while keeping it accessible for any upcoming occasion.
For A Windy Day.

I've had my fair share of embarrassing candid photos thanks to the battle between the wind and my uncooperative hair. For seamless exploration, a silk scarf works wonders as a headband that adds both convenience and personality.

The Feminine Drape.

Keep it classy with a lady-like shoulder drape knotted over a basic top. For a quiet stroll through the park or brunch with the girls, this scarf look immediately dresses things up without the need to change the entire outfit.

Classy Coffee Break.

Every busy day of travel needs an afternoon caffeine break, and a statement scarf ensures that not a minute goes out of style. Tie the piece around your wrist for a bold arm candy alternative, as well as quite the conversation starter.

The New Anklet.

Subtle statements are my favorite when it comes to dressing for a night out to dinner. When tied in a bow around the ankle, a silk scarf is transformed from an afternoon neckpiece to an elegant evening accessory.

Evening Simplicity.

Unwind from a day of exploring with an evening in the park. An easy drape over the shoulders serves as an alternative shawl while showcasing the scarf's extravagant print.

    I love your 6 ways of wearing the scarf and the scarf wrapped around the foot is my favourite. I've never thought of it, but it looks so chic.
