MW Organises Her Scarves

Whirlers, how is everyone doing? 

I think I did a post on this when I first started blogging, but here is how I organise my scarves now:

1. I put the ones I use on an everyday basis into baskets, colour co-ordinated, so I can get them easily. They are also placed on-top of my everyday clothes so I can match them to outfits efficiently.

2. These are my plain pashmina scarves. I don`t really wear these as I prefer my patterned, lightweight scarves. These are piled up and arranged in such a way where I can see all the colours at one go.

3. Here in the lower shelf, I keep the scarves I rarely wear. Because, of this, they get put into containers with lids so they stay dust-free. But, I ensure they are clear containers so I can still see the colours.

How do you organise your scarves? Do you also have a system? Colour co-ordinated? Or, do you just shove them into a drawer?

MW's LUSTLIST

What I`m lusting after at the moment:

- Scarf in that deep purple colour

- Sleek Contour Kit in Medium (I already have the Light, but after seeing other bloggers reviews about the medium, and me being darker than them, it has given me the 'courage' to go purchase it.)

- Bracelet and Long Finger Ring both from H&M 

- Long necklaces. Love them at the moment. I want moreeeee.

- Stila LipGlaze's. <3

MW's Scarves

Long before I became a hijabi, I wore scarves to keep my chest covered, and they had accumulated over the years. I have so many different materials, weight, length, all used for different styles.

Here is a photo of my scarves from April 2011:

I have a fair number of scarves, all different colours, however mostly plain. Since becoming a hijabi, I`ve been drawn to patterned scarves and my collection has grown even more, with gorgeous patterned scarves. My friends told me, when I do decide to become a hijabi, I wouldn`t have a problem adjusting, and they were right lol. 

[I may make a future post about my top 5 hijabs. Let me know if you would like to see that.]

Why do I love scarves?
I love the fact a scarf is versatile. It can either make an outfit more elegant and sophisticated by being tied like scarf 1, or very casual, like scarf 2. A scarf can be worn as a headwrap, like scarf 7, which is very fashionable at the moment. What's ideal for the fall ahead is wrapping it like scarf 5, and making a snood.

Before I became a hijabi I wore my scarf like scarves: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 12. However, now I opt for scarf 10, but in a more contemporary way. Don`t you just love playing around and experimenting with scarves?

How do you wear your scarf? :)
