Mad for Plaid

It's finally here. 
This scarf. 
I have been eyeing this scarf for weeks and it seems like I have done just about everything to ensure that I own it. I first spotted it on Cathy and then on a few others bloggers as time passed and I knew that I had to have it. 
I went to Georgetown during lunch one day last week to see if the Zara there had it and it was sadly sold out. I decided I would just order it online when I realized I could not purchase it in-store... until I got online to see that it was on backorder. I panicked, then added my name to the wait list. Luckily, I woke up on Monday to an email from Zara saying the scarf was back in stock. I ordered the scarf immediately (yes, from my phone) and waited for it to arrive. Coming home from work on Wednesday night was extra exciting when I saw that the box was sitting at my doorstep. It arrived! 
Now that this fabulous scarf is mine, I am worried I will never take it off. It is the softest, warmest, most cuddliest scarf ever. Now, the real question is... do I order it in blue as well?

  8. I purchased this scarf, too! I love it...except that it's HUGE!!! Do you have some advice on how to style it so that it doesn't completely swallow me whole?

    1. Hi Haley- I would recommend either twisting the scarf or folding it in half. I have really like twisting it lately... it keeps it full but then it doesn't swallow you up! Hope that helps. I have featured the scarf a few other times, different ways. Maybe those ways will help you out as well. Thanks for stopping by!

  10. Hi there... I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering the dimensions of the scarf. My sister has an oversized scarf on her wishlist and I don't know what size I'm looking for.
    Thanks!
