Hi everybody, come on in.
Welcome to Scarf Trends.
I'm here learning all kinds of things about the different looks you can achieve with a
scarf.
Scarves are back, but for many of us, they never went out at all.
Actually, scarves are just the right thing to go with today's fashions, especially while
using my new scarf clips and scarf rings.
With me today is a woman they tell me is the scarf genius of the entire world, who can
teach us just how easy this can be.
This is Shirley Lybrand, everybody.
Hi Shirley.
Hi, thank you.
What does one do to become the scarf genius of the world?
Well, you practice a lot.
In front of the mirror, you get those scarves out of the drawer and you just basically start
practicing.
And with the new scarf clips and the scarf rings, it's very easy.
That's the key word, isn't it?
That is the key word, yes.
Easy now, because a lot of people are a little intimidated about, they think they have to
be very good with their fingers and their hands, and it's not that way anymore.
And when you tie a knot, a lot of times, you know, by the time you get to work, it's not
in the right place.
And the scarf clip has the weight to it to where it makes it stay in place, also.
And it's also a piece of jewelry.
It is.
Which we're going to see.
Yes.
All righty, so you are now the scarf genius.
You are going to show us how many different ways to tie a scarf.
Oh, about 20-some different ways.
Really?
Yes.
Okay.
Let's get started.
Okay.
Miss genius, we'll see how genius you are.
All right.
We've got a great table here full of beautiful scarves, all available at Walmart, of course.
And before we get started, I want to bring your attention to the lower left corner of
your screen.
This is our easy knot finder clock, and it will help you locate your favorite style as
we go through all this.
Okay, Shirley?
Okay.
Let's roll that clock.
You are officially on.
I'm on, okay?
So I've got to stay on time, right?
That's right.
Okay.
So you take your time and show everybody how to do it.
Okay.
Here we're just going to fold the scarf into basically an oblong scarf.
Okay.
Okay?
It doesn't have to be any perfect way.
We're going to be using the new scarf rings.
Looks familiar.
It's in the Walmart store.
That's right.
Okay?
And here, it's just a little opening, and you just pull each one of the scarves through.
Okay?
That's the easy part.
Watch this.
I mean, even my four-year-old daughter, I think Cassidy can do this.
I think she can, too.
She might take over your job.
She may be the next scarf genius.
Hey, that would be great, because I need to retire.
I've been doing this way too long.
This woman has tied a lot of knots in her tie.
You just pull the little ends through.
This is why it's called a no-knot, because you don't have to tie any knots anymore.
And it does feel nice and secure there.
Yeah, it does.
And you can also make it into like a little necklace, can't you?
Yes.
Here by just taking and twisting.
Go, scarf woman.
Okay?
You don't have to twist a whole lot, and just tuck it underneath, okay?
You can tie it.
If I was going to be wearing it all day long, I would definitely tie just a little tiny
knot back there.
And if I was going to wear it all day, I'd probably put my hair up, too.
You don't want a cluttered look, right?
Right.
No, you don't.
And you know you can wear it in your hair.
Instead of?
Instead of wearing it on the neck, you can put your hair up like in a ponytail, and then
just take the scarf.
Let me just sort of show you a little bit.
You can just take the scarf, and this would just go around the ponytail.
Around the ponytail?
And then just pull this down, and that will secure it.
You can wear it as a headband, as well, by just pulling it underneath, and just sliding
the little slide on there.
Okay, so don't just think of them.
We're also going to show you later on how to put it around your fanny, even.
Oh, yes we are.
Scarves aren't just for necks anymore.
You just wait and see what all we end up doing here today, right?
We're going to use your daughter now for the next demonstrations, right?
Yes, we are.
We certainly are.
Nepotism is alive and well.
Stephanie.
Hi, Stephanie.
Hello.
Has she been tying scarves around your neck for years?
For years.
For years, okay.
We used little hair bows, and now we just had to go to the next, just get a little larger.
It's a girly thing.
It is.
It's a girly thing.
Basically, just fanny.
Just take a pleat.
Okay, you're doing like a little accordion right there.
Yeah, just a little accordion, okay?
Now that looks easy when you do it.
It's not.
You can also lay out your scarf on a table or on your bed and...
Absolutely.
Just lay it on the table.
Wherever they're going to be watching the video...
Is a good place.
Is a good place to do it, yeah.
Just pulling the little ends through.
Now you're getting that pleat effect.
This is the one that you're wearing, right?
Right.
It's the little flower.
See, what I like about this one is the border stands out so pretty that way.
You really see it there.
I usually try to use a border if I'm going to wear that one.
It does help.
Very cute.
Okay, if you notice, that's at two, about 40 on your little clock finder.
Okay.
Also, we want to talk a little bit about tags.
Well, since this one isn't a Kathie Lee, let's cut that baby right off of there.
Okay, let's just cut that right out.
We want to always cut the tags out.
And be careful not to cut the actual scarf itself, right?
Right, okay.
Tacky.
It's always, always...
Never did like that, designer.
Kidding.
Just kidding.
Okay, now we're going to put a jacket on, Steph.
Okay.
And you know, the little neckerchiefs are really so popular this year.
The little 21 inch, you know, like in about the 70s, they were really popular.
Now it's all coming back again, so everything just sort of cycles.
It's cyclical, yes.
Okay.
So, picking up the little neckerchief in the center, just folding it over, just sticking
it in the pocket.
And just letting it flop.
Just letting it flop.
Any old way.
How much in life looks good when it flops?
Not much, but that does.
Anybody can do that one.
That's right.
Here you go.
All righty.
So that must have been at about 330, but anybody can remember that one.
Right.
Also, you know how you're supposed to keep the sun off of your face nowadays.
Absolutely.
Just take your little scarf.
I've already done this one.
Just slide it on, tie a knot.
This way you get a different look on your hat.
You can match it up to your wardrobe or whatever.
How about your bathing suit?
Yeah.
Very cute.
Isn't that cute?
Uh-huh.
Good idea.
Also, this is one of your handbags.
Thought it looked familiar.
Mm-hmm.
Here, just taking the little neckerchief and just sliding it down through.
This way, you know, like a lot of times when I'm out walking around, I get hot.
Yeah.
You know, so I want to take my scarf on and what do I do?
Let me just fix your little scarf right there.
It's falling down on me.
And it won't fall off your purse?
It certainly won't.
Okay.
Very pretty.
Even if you just wanted to use that as just the style, that's adorable.
Oh, yeah.
It gives you some color.
Uh-huh.
Makes you look so fashionable.
I live for that.
I live for fashion.
I'm a slave to it.
Now, we're going to start using oblong scarves.
Basically, there's a square and there's an oblong.
That's all there is.
Rectangular.
Yeah.
There's different sizes, but other than that.
Speaking of that, now Steph's, what, a normal height, what are you, about 5'7"?
You're 5'7"?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I am when I tease my hair.
So, is there anything we should remember if you're a larger woman or a smaller woman
about scarves?
Yeah.
I mean, you don't want to wear an oversized scarf if you're real petite and, you know,
you're short.
The scarf shouldn't be wearing you.
Yes.
That's right.
You want to wear the smaller scarves.
You really shouldn't wear probably over a 36-inch, okay?
But if you're real tall, you can go up to a 48-inch scarf.
Okay.
I know you're going to show us one now that goes around the neck.
Around the neck.
What if you happen to be a large-busted woman?
Would this probably not be the best for you?
This, well, this first one I'm going to do, it won't be good, okay?
Because any time that you're large-busted, you don't want anything...
Accentuating.
No, you absolutely don't.
Unless you're very, very proud of them, I guess.
Okay.
We're starting with the scarf clip now, and it has a little hinge on it, has a little
opening, and you always have the hinge part next to the chest, okay?
So remember that, because a lot of people, whenever I'm out doing demonstrations and
things, they want to turn it around backwards.
Well, they're trying to see it at the same time.
Yes, right.
Maybe practice in front of a mirror, all this stuff.
Now you've pulled up both sides.
Pull it through, uh-huh.
And then just open it up, and see, you probably wouldn't want to wear this if you had a large
chest.
However, you could turn it around.
Oh, yes.
And wear it that way.
That would look great.
Uh-huh.
I would definitely wear that going out in the evening, wouldn't you?
Isn't that pretty?
Yeah.
That's very pretty.
So, you can wear it over to the side.
And you know, the weight of the scarf clip really keeps it in place.
It really keeps it in place.
Yeah, because it flops around so much, usually.
Yeah.
And you know, don't go out wearing your scarf like that.
Don't do that, ladies.
Don't do that.
Don't do it.
Soft is better.
Soft.
We want to float.
Just pull.
Just pull down.
Okay.
Okay?
That was probably at about 630 when we started on that one, if you want to make a note of
that.
That was called the...
The bow.
Soft bow.
Uh-huh.
Oblong bow.
Okay.
And we're going to make an ascot.
And notice, I didn't fold that.
You didn't do anything special with it.
No, I didn't do anything special with that.
You just...
I just keep the right sides together.
Okay.
Just...
Equal distance.
Yeah.
Just cross it over and just simply pull up.
See how I'm pulling down?
Uh-huh.
And I'm bringing this all the way up because an ascot is supposed to be close up to the
neck.
And this is really great with a jacket on.
Okay?
We won't take time to put a jacket on every time.
Well, sometimes you don't want to wear a blouse because it may be just a little too hot.
And this adds very little weight to you.
Yes, it does.
Okay.
And you wouldn't wear this one over to the side.
No, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't do that, surely.
No, you would not.
No, because you told me not to.
That's right.
And you always wear it on the left?
You always wear your scarf on the left.
And why is that?
Because you read from left to right.
Now, I didn't make that up.
I heard that from somebody else.
So, I've just used it all these years.
So, see, I'm really not that smart.
I'm just going to say I learned it from you.
Always wear it on your left.
Yes.
It's not that you're married like flowers in Hawaii or anything.
You're not trying to send a signal.
No, no.
Okay.
Not that I know of.
All righty.
Maybe you could start a new trend.
Here, we're going to take and we're going to pleat the scarf.
Okay?
And you would probably lay this one on a table to do the first couple of times.
Okay?
And we're going to pleat that about two-thirds of the way.
Yeah, about two-thirds of the way.
Enough to go around the neck there.
Bringing the unpleated part around the neck.
Uh-huh.
Holding on to the other.
Holding on.
And I mean hold on because it will slip out.
Yeah, you let that go.
Okay?
Here, we've got a little opening.
Yeah.
And this time, we're going to take the scarf up through.
One of the rare times you do it that way.
The rare times, yeah.
And what is this one called, Shirley?
This is called the fan.
Okay?
And you can make this fan as large and fluffy as you want.
And if you've got like a metallic scarf on to go out in the evening, you know, you can
make it really stand up and look very glamorous.
Okay.
So you wouldn't use that for daytime.
That's more evening though.
No, this is more evening, yes.
Okay.
Definitely this is more evening.
That's called the fan at about 840, I guess.
Yeah.
And of course, you know, don't you love the jewels?
Well, yeah, and then you'd match them up with your earrings and everything else.
Earrings, yes.
They're available in many styles.
Oh, yes.
Okay, now we're going to do a double turtleneck.
Just fold it over your pan.
Okay.
All right, what you've done is, uh-huh, you've got the...
Okay, we're going to take the folded part.
We're going to pull it through.
Okay.
Uh-huh, you've got it opening there now.
You've got it opening there.
Okay.
And this is a wonderful paisley scarf.
Don't you love the paisley?
Yeah, I love paisley.
And you know, brown's going to really be the biggest trend this year.
Brown is?
Brown is going to take the place of black.
Well, good.
Yeah.
So we're going to have something a little different.
Maybe in about 20 years we can hope for pink.
Okay.
This is a nice, real tailored look.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
That was the double turtleneck tie.
Double turtleneck.
Okay.
Now we're going to do a few little waist wraps.
Okay.
You know, we said we were going to do that fanny wrap.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's try this one on you.
Okay.
How's that?
Yeah.
Excuse me, Stephanie.
Take this one off.
Yeah.
This will look great on you.
You're so tiny.
I'm just sucking it in, honey.
You are.
Everything...
You're working it out, aren't you?
I'm trying.
Here, just take and make that cute little bow.
Oh, yeah.
A little waist wrap.
That's really cute.
Oh, nice waist wrap.
Uh-huh.
And if you could also wear it further down on your hip.
Yeah.
All you do is just make a smaller bow.
Okay.
Okay, very cute.
Isn't that cute?
That looks great with what you've got on.
Well, I'll just leave that on.
I think you ought to leave that on.
Okay.
You can do, you know, a belt with that as well.
You know, you can tie it several different ways.
The whole point is that they should be fun, and, you know, you can experiment in your
own house.
You don't have to go out with them on until you know it looks good.
That's right.
But have some fun with them.
Don't be afraid of them.
Yeah.
You know, I always tell people, you know, when they go out, you know, they don't want
to wear big earrings.
You know, I want to wear little-bit earrings.
Well, I always say practice a little bit, you know, put those big earrings on and then
walk around the house and get used to it.
Yes.
Then you, you know, you feel good when you go out and you feel comfortable.
Also, Kathy, you can wear one of your wonderful belts along with this.
Okay.
I'm not going to take and tie it, but look how great that looks.
Yeah.
That's really cute.
So using the belt.
Love it.
Yes.
Next week, I'm going to have lawnmowers.
Oh.
Just kidding.
Oh, no.
I cannot see you.
I see your name with a whole lot of different things, but I don't believe it's going to
be a lawnmower.
Oh, darn.
Okay.
I only see you in fashion.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, honey.
You got to get to know me better.
I'm a Harley kind of girl at heart.
Okay.
Basically, just take and fold the scarf again.
Okay.
I'm going to do that one fast.
It's bigger.
You did a bigger one.
Yeah.
It's just a bigger one.
Okay.
But this is really a good one to wear.
Now, this is called?
A fan.
Another fan.
Basically, you know, you always call it a bow, and all we're doing is you're just tying
it a different way.
It has the same names.
You know, you can use an ascot as a square or as an oblong.
Okay.
So, they've got the same names.
But they do make a different look.
Oh, total different look.
Yeah.
Look at that.
That's cute.
And, you know, I wouldn't wear this right here if I was larger.
No.
But if you were the queen of England, you'd wear it a lot.
Yes.
Here.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, you can put it down right there.
Okay.
Very nice.
That was it.
Wow.
We're into this now.
That was about 12 minutes.
Oh, so we're doing good then.
Yeah.
Yes.
You are bopping along.
Hey.
You're the ever-ready whatever-it-is-bunny.
Okay.
Here we go.
Three in one.
Now, everybody out there, you have got to get this one because if you get this one down
really good, when you get up in the morning, you don't have to think about it.
You know, you've got, oh, I can do this.
I can do that.
So it's really good.
Okay.
Fold it in half.
Fold it in half and then take it opposite corners, but let me show you how to get that
opposite corner.
Just run your finger down the side of the scarf and put you to the opposite corner.
Okay.
We're going to get a little triangle collar effect.
Just pulling it up a few inches, okay, and always, you know, take the little ends and
just, you know, pull them out and make it look really nice.
You don't want to just go to work looking, you know, like you've half put yourself together.
So you get this sort of triangle.
Yeah.
You get that little triangle effect.
Moving it up just a few inches, which makes a great square collar.
And again, that's the kind of thing.
Only you will know looking into a mirror which place it's best on you.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Because not everything.
You know, I like the softer things.
I don't look real good in real tailored items.
I like really bright colors, so I wear a lot of scarves because you can't always find the
right color of clothes, but you can certainly find the right color of scarf.
There's so many scarves out there.
As you know.
As I well, well know.
Yes.
That's right.
And then we have to just, basically all you're doing is just watch this edge.
Just pull straight through.
Just bring and pull those edges through?
Yeah.
And this gives you a jabot.
So this is why I call this one three in one.
Okay.
And this is really great with the jacket.
Yeah.
We've got to put that.
Let me take that little.
Let me take that.
Then just fill the whole collar in.
You can have the wrong collar.
A lot of times, you know, you have the wrong blouse and, you know, you're going to wear
it with the jacket.
Well, that collar hangs out way too far.
So if you wear a scarf, you know, you don't always, you know, have to have a blouse on.
You can just wear a little camisole or something underneath it.
Yes.
That's very pretty.
Dresses it up so nicely.
This is my favorite.
Yeah.
You're a jabot kind of gal.
I am a jabot kind of gal.
And I have my picture made.
I always have my jabot on.
Okay.
Did you know that about her when you were growing up?
Yes, I did.
That you had a jabot kind of mother?
I had a jabot mother.
Yeah.
Well, either are or you aren't.
Okay.
Now we're going to do a square bow.
I love this scarf.
I think this is so pretty.
Isn't that pretty?
Mm-hmm.
All the roses and all the scroll that's on there.
So neat.
Okay.
When you fold the scarf, don't fold it into a perfect triangle.
Just leave it a little bit open.
Okay.
The more perfect you fold it, the smaller your scarf gets.
So if you want your scarf to stay large, where it really goes around and it flows.
Looks like it hugs you nicely.
Yeah.
Once again, this is the bow.
And I showed you all ago how to do that bow.
You think you can do this?
Oh, I see.
Remember by just pulling it through?
Yeah.
I think so.
Take the two folded edges, right?
Yeah.
And then bring it.
This always goes back to the chest.
You got it.
Hey, you have really been learning today.
I'm coming through here.
Let's see.
You got it.
Don't close it yet.
Okay.
Yeah.
Just pull it through and clip down and then just open it up.
You can pull it and make it as big as you can.
Look at you.
Look at me.
Look, Mom.
You didn't know you were so good, did you?
No.
It's a little lopsided, but it's...
Oh, no.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's very cute.
And then just pull it over to the side.
Okay.
This is great to wear over a coat as well.
Uh-huh.
You know, a lot of times, you know, you have a coat on and you need a little bit of warmth,
but you still want to look, you know, nice and soft.
Yes.
So this is a real good one to wear that way also.
That looks pretty with the black.
Uh-huh.
All those roses around your neck.
Okay.
Now we're going to do a little round collar, which is a really simple one, just fold it
in half.
Fold it in half.
Okay.
Taking the folded edges.
And we'll just watch how round this collar gets.
Pulling it through.
Just keep pulling it through and get it up.
See how I couldn't get that up over her shoulder?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is the way everybody wants to go to work.
Okay.
That's it.
That's, you know, I would just tuck all that in.
Yeah.
Total.
All your little edges in there.
Okay.
Very pretty.
Oh.
Okey-dokey.
That was at about 1620, for those of you at home working.
Now we're going to show a neck wrap.
A lot of people like to wear, you know, like turtle necks and cow collars, all of that,
you know.
Well, I just about dropped that one, didn't I?
But you didn't.
I know.
Like a little cow neck.
A lesser woman would have dropped it, but not you, scarf genius.
All right.
So now you're going to take it.
And just a little bit.
Here we're just going to bring it around.
Okay.
Without tying.
Uh-huh.
And you could tie that in the back if you wanted to.
Or you can use a scarf clip on the corners and see how, what a great little cow neck you've
got there.
That really is cute.
Yeah.
And the only way I would wear this is definitely with just a jacket.
Yeah.
But, you know, you could put like a brown jacket and this has some red in it.
This would look great with a red jacket, don't you think?
Mm-hmm.
And I love the animal print.
Yeah.
Right around the face.
We know.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, we're going to do a blouse.
So many times when I get ready to go out, I have the wrong collar of top to wear.
So now, I mean, I have all of these scarves in my wardrobe.
Yes.
I have yours.
But I have bought a few of other people's too.
We'll be generous and say that's fine.
Just turning it under a few inches.
Uh-huh.
And you're just going to tie it in the back.
Just do a small little knot.
Okay.
It doesn't have to be a real good knot, okay?
Here.
Oh, I see.
A little halter type thing.
Isn't this going to be cute?
A little halter type.
Yeah.
Very cute.
You want to just hold that.
I won't tie it.
Here.
We don't want to leave this old baggy.
We want to tailor make her a blouse, right?
Uh-huh.
By pulling and just pulling from the underneath side.
Look how that just starts.
Nice flat.
Yeah.
See how great that looks?
Uh-huh.
You know, you could put your belt on with that as well.
And your hat.
And your Cathy Lee handbag.
Oh, everything.
Don't go out of your house like that.
Well, you've shown us a lot of terrific things.
Thank you so much, Shirley.
And thank you, Stephanie.
Thank you.
So now let's review all the knots and styles we've created.
The Easy Knot Clock Finder in the lower left corner will quickly tell you where to locate
your favorite style of knot.
Thanks everybody for watching.
I hope you've learned as much as I have today.
And thank you both again.
Thank you.
I hope you've learned as much as I have today.
And thank you so much for joining me today.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Thank you.
