I only just realized how copy-catty I’ve been this week. Geeeeeez! I mean it in the best, most flattering way & when I know I’m doing it I always credit the source 
This great idea came from the lovely Tina’s blog T Minus T Plus in this entry about her ENGAGEMENT!!!! I loved the second outfit down so much I had to rip it off pay homage to it with my own version:
Target gladiators, Old Navy cargos (thrifted), ? brown tank (TJMaxx), olive belt (from swap party), Adrienne Vittadini scarf, Walmart bracelets, necklace was gift
When I saw Tina’s post I immediately thought, “OMG, where’d she get that top!” When I found out it was a scarf tied to the shoulders & belted I was thrilled because I could duplicate it. (I’m really not one for hunting down a particular item.)
Here’s a close up of the pattern. It’s full of a gorgeous mix of green, brown, red, orange, gold & ivory.

You look amazing! That scarf is so beautiful and it suits your coloring so well. I love it!
I’ve been a copycat this week too. I think it’s a great way to expand my personal style. Although not all of my copy attempts should be repeated. You, however, MUST do this again. So flattering!!
Thanks for the shout out.

I like this idea! I don’t have any scarves that are the right size for this right now, but I think I’ll be on the lookout.

Cool twist! It’s so lovely with the belt.

OMG that’s absolutely brilliant! I love the shape and look of scarves-as-clothes. I’d never have thought to try something like this. Don’t know whether it would look good on me, but it’s great inspiration! Scarf prints and clothing styles seem to be a trend, these days. I love it all!

@Tina – I know it’s flattering because I saw how nice it looked on you first!
@elaine – thanks girl!
@Diana – This one is a giant square:)
@Hals – thanks!
@Anusha – There’s also a great book about using scraves in DIYing clothes – http://www.amazon.com/Ways-Cut-Rock-Your-Scarf/dp/0307395677/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247502508&sr=8-2 – it’s been on my wishlist for ages.
