Hello, I'm Shirley Libran. I'm here today in the accessory department. I'm going to
teach you how to wear your scarf step by step. There's so many beautiful scarves out there
to be able to accessorize all of your outfits. We also have scarf clips, scarf rings and
scarf magic. And I like to call everything a little bit of magic. And I think today when
I get finished, you will be wanting to call it scarf magic also. But first of all, take
a look at the lower left hand corner of your screen. Our easy knot finding clock. It will
help you locate your favorite style later on. So roll the clock guys. Come on in Lisa.
Lisa's going to be my model today. And we're going to have a lot of fun. You leave today,
I know you're going to know how to tie a scarf also. Basically there's only two shapes of
scarves. There is an oblong and there is a square. Different sizes that you will see
I'm going to be using but it's all the same. Basically fold in the scarf in half. Placing
the folded edge around the neck. Turn around just a teeny bit. Here you just take your
scarf clip. Let me explain the scarf clip a little bit to you also. It's just a piece
of jewelry. You can wear it with your wonderful earrings. You can wear it with a necklace.
Also there is a little hinge clip on and you always wear the clip part next to the chest
and you place the scarf down through the little scarf clip. They come in a lot of colors.
They come in gold. They come in silver. Place. Open up and it makes a wonderful bow. If you
have a large chest you may not want to wear a scarf right here causing all of the focus
right in the center of your chest. So just basically turn it to the side and the scarf
clip it weighs enough to where it helps hold the scarf in place. Also always pull your
scarf down right here in the center. Now we're going to do an ascot. Once again using an
oblong scarf. You don't really have to fold it. Just you know layer it over your hand
a little bit. Here we're just going to criss cross the scarf and look at the wonderful
rainbow of colors. This is called an ombre scarf which you're going to be seeing a lot
of that this year. That's a new trend. Here just fluffing the little ascot out. Also you
know play with your scarf. It's like getting ready every morning. You know you can't just
comb your hair once and it's perfect. You have to play with it. You have to fluff it
just a little. Put this jacket on. Now that makes it look a lot better. So you know I'm
going to show you from time to time you know whether you should wear a jacket or where
you should just wear it with a dress. But you know you have to try the outfit on basically
yourself and you figure out you know if you should wear a jacket or you shouldn't wear
a jacket okay. Hey Miss Lisa. Are you going to be able to go home and do all these now?
Absolutely. Yes. Makes it easy doesn't it? Very. Now we're going to do a pleated fan.
This one takes just a little bit of practice. But you know you can lay it down on a table.
You can lay it on the bed. Wherever your video's at. Just lay the scarf down and just practice.
Also, make sure you're looking at that clock because it's going to help you when you get
ready to get ready every morning. You don't have to watch the entire video okay. You won't
have to hear me talk all the time. You can just go right to this beautiful fan. Basically
just pulling down. Notice I only pleated part of the scarf. Bringing the other around the
back of the neck. Here taking the pleats and going up through. This is a real good one
to wear with a dress like she's got on. You might you know just wear this little dress
to work and you might want to dress it up and go out in the evening. So I would basically
only wear the fan. Just you know just wear that one in the evening. I don't think this
is a work one. Now we're going to do a double turtleneck. This one is a nice one. It's a
nice tailored look. Also remember all of the scarves. It doesn't matter what scarf. I've
got this one on the wrong side. It doesn't matter what scarf you pick. It's just whatever
your choice is out there. Just folding it over the hand. Pulling it through. Here I've
got just a little opening. You're just going to pull the little ends down through and then
to tighten it up just clip. Okay. Always straighten those little ends up to make it look nice
and neat. Okay. Then we're going to do a waist wrap. And with this little tiny waist definitely
you can wear a waist wrap. You're so lucky. Once again we're just going to be you know
tying a bow. You know I showed you how to use the bow up along the neckline. Now you
can do the same thing at the waist and using the wonderful line head for a scarf clip.
Here you can just do the little bow which is very flattering to wear down low on the
waist. Okay. If you don't want all of this fluff over on the side of course you can make
it very tailored by just pulling the ends through. Okay. You can also make a great belt.
Let me show you this one. Because a lot of times maybe you want to wear pants. Maybe
you want to look a little bit more tailored by simply pulling the scarf clip halfway through
the scarf. Okay. Just take and twist. Don't tie a knot back here. Okay. We don't want
to have any little knots tied. We want to just basically take and twist the scarf and
then just tuck your little ends in. I don't know how neat I did that but of course this
is one that you can practice. Get in front of that mirror and practice up a storm. Oh
that looks good. I can see that with a pair of pants on. Now we're going to start working
with the square scarves. And basically if you're nice and tall you can wear any size
scarf. Okay. You can wear an oversized scarf like a 48 inch. You can wear shawls. But you
know if you're a little bit shorter you might just want to not get any larger than a 36
inch square. Okay. You don't want it to be overpowering. This time we're going to do
a soft fan by just taking and pleating. Just like I did a while ago on the oblong only
this one's just a little bit bigger. Don't forget to watch that clock. Okay. You know
when you get ready in the morning you're going to need this little clock. I'm telling you.
So I just keep telling you about the clock so that you won't forget. Oh I love this bright
color scarf. Isn't that beautiful. I could have worn that today. Couldn't have I. Here
with the fan all you have to do is just pull it about three or four inches. Okay. The little
pleated fan. Also once again it's very nice to just wear over to the side. See how much
more it softens her. Don't ever wear your scarves like that. Okay. Always soften it
by pulling it down. Just take your hand and just pull in straight down. Okay. I know this
all looks so easy to you. You know I didn't like to wear scarves. I didn't know how to
wear scarves so I just decided to start practicing until I taught myself exactly how to wear
a scarf. Here you just take and fold the scarf in half and this is three in one is what we
call this one. And the reason is when I put this on her you're going to see three different
ways that you can tie a scarf by just folding it this way. Basically by running your finger
down the fold of the scarf makes into a little triangle two little points. Here we're going
to make a little triangle collar. Okay. See how it's just a little triangle collar. Just
pull it up three or four inches and you have a square collar. So that's now you've got
two of the steps. Now we're going to do the third step by just pulling through. See the
little ends pop through. Bring it back through and clip. Now this is a really a good one
also to wear with the jacket. Just put your jacket on. Let's show what that looks like.
Thank you. Oh yes. I really like this. This is really a nice feeling. You don't even have
to have a blouse on underneath this and that's why the scarves are so good also. Maybe you
don't have the right blouse. It's the wrong collar. You've got the wrong collar. Well
you can certainly get the right collar in the stores now because every store has all
of these wonderful colors going on in the department. So make sure that you go and pick
out your scarves but of course don't forget your scarf clips and your scarf rings. All
the little scarf magics. Now we're going to do a square bow by folding the scarf into
a triangle. Don't fold it into a perfect triangle because you lose all of the width of your
scarf. So keep it nice and large. Unless you're petite then you may want to fold it a lot
smaller if the scarf is a little too large. I know a lot of times we get gifts at Christmas
time and maybe it is the wrong size but you know like that little 3-in-1 I just did and
this one you can certainly make it fit you. I'm going to show you enough ways where you
can use that scarf. I don't care what size it is. Basically by just pulling through,
clipping down, opening wide. Once again soften it by bringing it around the neck. That one
can be worn on the side as well. I love this windowpane of colors here. Isn't that nice?
Talk about color. All of the new colors. Here we're going to just leave this one folded
in half and take the folded edge of the scarf and place it next to the neck. This gives
you a round collar. Believe it or not, using a square scarf I can make this look round.
Just pulling through. Then you might just want to tuck it under just a little bit so
none of the points are coming out. I'm going to have to get you to do a couple of these
I think. Now we're going to do a neck wrap by simply taking and folding the scarf into
a triangle again. Just bring it around the neck, criss-crossing it in the back is all
I'm doing. Bring in the scarf. You know you've got a little bit of a cow neck here effect
which really helps when you're wanting to fill in on a jacket. Just turn it under a
little bit and that makes a perfect little cow neck. It's called the double turtle. Excuse
me that wasn't the double turtle. That was the neck wrap. I've done so many of these
I've already forgot the name of them and I really did help name them believe it or not.
Now we're going to do the blouse basically by just turning the scarf over maybe three
or four inches and just tying a small knot in the back. Then we'll also tie a small knot
at the waist. If your scarf doesn't fit all you have to do is basically tuck it into your
skirt or you can tuck it into your pants. Sometimes like what I've done on this one
it's a little bit harder to tie a knot if you get a little too much right up the very
top so you just have to play with it. We wouldn't ever want to leave her blouse all baggy. We
want to make it a tailor made blouse by simply just pulling up. See how we made that tailor
made just for her. This would be a great time to maybe wear a belt. Let's put on a jacket
with that. Oh perfect blouse isn't that pretty. Very nice. I think you can go anywhere don't
you with that on. Now let's see if I can get you out of this. I got you in it so good.
I think you can see that no matter what color of scarf or outfit that you've got if it's
the wrong color all you've got to do is just pick out the right scarf, the right texture,
the right fabric for you. Now we're going to talk a little bit about scarf magics. What
makes scarf magics so much different than everything else is it has a pin on the back
of it and you can just pin it in place each time. Just pull it through, pin in place.
You can wear this as a shawl, you can wear it also around the waist which I'm getting
ready to show you that as well. Don't belt it down. You want it to flow, you want it
to be really really soft. Let me show you around the waist. Now you can wear this with
leggings, you can wear this with a bathing suit, you can use it as a cover up. I'm not
going to take time to like pin this and all of that but this is so much better than a
big old knot okay. Be sure and watch on your camera now, on the video where the timer's
at so that you'll know exactly how to do this. Now I'm going to show you the shawl. Here
just pulling it up through. This is a real good one to wear over your coat as well. You
may not want to pull near as much through as I did a while ago but now you just bring
it over and you want to pull it through and see how that I can't get this up on her shoulder
so to make it nice and soft where it always flows really nicely. Just pull it through.
Now how much simpler of that could you get? Also you know I don't know how many times
that I've had a winter coat and I get really tired of it and this way you could change
your winter coat up just with the wonderful colors that's in the scarves. Also you're
not going to lose your scarf because this is already going to be automatically pinned
on. Now we're bringing in another new item this year. This is our new body slide. Basically
it will contour to the waist. It doesn't matter what size you are because it is going to bend
with the body. Just basically pull it through. You could use a solid scarf. You can use print
scarves. It does not matter what scarf that you're going to use with this. Here you can
just tie it over to the side and just make a wonderful little knot or also you could
do like a little rosette by just twisting. Everybody always wants to know how to do a
rosette. Just the tighter that you twist it the tighter that rosette is going to be. So
this is your new body slide. Now we're going to get into our other little new item which
is a scarf ring which is another piece of jewelry basically. And on the back you have
two little loops and you're always feeding your scarf from the inside out and pulling
it out to the outside. Here we're going to do a little no knot by folding the scarf in
half and while we're doing that let's talk about this a little bit. We want to always
cut off our tags. We don't want to leave these little tags on there. It doesn't matter what
names on there. Just snip it off. It's not going to hurt the scarf one bit and it sure
looks a whole lot better. Basically I just folded that into like a little long and bringing
one of the ends through one side and the other end through the other side. That gives you
a wonderful no knot. And also at the same time if you want to do this up maybe go out
in the evening dress it up a little bit. You can wear these all of these scarves as you
know very casual or you can wear them very dressy. And the little neckerchief is such
a new item for this season. I feel really new and youthful whenever I'm wearing the
little neckerchiefs. Now we're going to do the little soft flower. Basically by just
pleating the scarf just like we did the larger ones and bringing all the ends through. Polka
dots are always refreshing every year I think. They're good for the spring. They're also
good for the fall. It doesn't matter whenever you wear polka dots. And as you can tell these
little scarf rings it doesn't matter what little piece of jewelry is on top of it. They
all look really good. Nice. Beautiful little flower. Now we're going to show a little pocket
poof. Put your chin on. This time we don't really have to use a scarf clip or a scarf
ring. Just basically by picking this up in the center, folding it over just a few inches
and just tucking it in to your pocket really gives a new look also. You don't want to wear
anything really big over your round neck or around the waist or whatever. You just want
to add a little bit of color. And the last but not least we're going to talk a little
bit about hats. Hats are really good to always wear out also. So you can just stick in a
little 21 inch scarf, putting the little scarf ring through there and tie in a knot. Placing
it over the hat. That gives you a new look, a new style. I love having a new wardrobe
all of the time. Here on the handbag, you know my grandmother used to use one of these
handbags. She would always take and put a scarf on there. So now you can do it. You
don't have to tie it. You just pull the little scarf ring right onto the scarf. And that's
a great look. Now let's review all of the knots and the styles. Remember the easy knot
find or left hand corner is there to show you where to find your favorite knot style.
Thanks so much Lisa for coming here today and joining me. It's been great.
