Stripes and Patterns | Puppies & Pretties

A fall outfit doesn’t get much better than this. A striped tunic, leggings, over the knee boots, and a big warm blanket scarf. I recently added this blanket scarf from Old Navy to my collection and I couldn’t be happier. It is shaped like a regular scarf (aka it is a rectangle rather than a square like blanket scarves often are). It is actually more like a shawl than a scarf because it is so large. I struggled with figuring out how to wear it, but then I just threw it over my shoulders and called it good. Most of the day I wore it as a shawl anyways because my office was chilly.

Do you have any suggestions on how to wear large rectangle scarves?

A goal this fall is to wear them more often, because they are pretty awesome 🙂

I love that scarf! I especially love that it’s not a buffalo check or plaid scarf. It makes it more unique! I feel like blanket scarfs are whole category on their own and you eventually get comfortable wearing them, but it’s definitely a learning curve! I like this blog post about tying a blanket scarf: http://www.merricksart.com/2015/10/four-ways-to-tie-blanket-scarf.html Hopefully it helps!

I agree, it is nice to have a different pattern, even if I love my plaid ones 🙂 Thanks for sharing that post, it has me thinking!

That scarf is perfect! I just want to cuddle in it haha I just did a post where I am wearing stripes and a pattern scarf as well so I was excited to see that someone else thinks they mix well too. You look great!

I love, I love, I love! I am a huge fan of mixing patterns together. Most people think I’m crazy but what they don’t know is how fashionable it is to mix and match 🙂
