Scarves scarves and more scarves...I have a healthy obsession. For as long as I can remember I've been wearing them. They're cozy and comforting. Most importantly, they take the attention off two of my least favorite body parts. My ladies...boobs...ta tas...whatever you want to call them. To all the gals out there who are large chested I know you can relate. Scarves also add a little extra somethin somethin to an outfit rather than adorning yourself with a statement necklace. Don't get me wrong though, I love a good flashy piece every once in a while. Since moving to frigid New Hampshire, I find that shrinking up like a turtle inside of my scarf is a nice way to embrace a cold gust of sub zero temperatures while walking to my car. Completely unrelated to NH...Scarves also offer a good place to hide when an unexpected emotional student come into my office and starts yelling. As a side note, others at work have noticed my obsession. I have been known to be called "scarf lady" from time to time by students and other teachers. I do however get many compliments on them and find that wearing a scarf gives me an edge and shows that I have some sense of style. I think. Funnily enough, recently a parent of a student wrote a letter to the local newspapers column saying how she felt that the teachers style at our school was sub par and recommended "the ladies pick up a recent issue of Vogue". I like to think she just hasn't seen me strutting my stuff down the runway hallway. 

Recently I've been feeling like my scarves are taking over my closet. I had originally been looping them around the rod which then resulted in all of my clothes being squished to one side...yes I do have that many. SO I did a little research on Pinterest and came up with a solution. A VERY cheap solution.

First, I bought two packs of shower curtain hooks. 

Home Depot - $1.16 for 12 hooks

Then I found a hanger that I wasn't already using and that has some strength to it.

Then I attached all of the rings to the hanger and then thread the scarves through them. For infinity scarves I just undid the ring first, put the scarf on it, and then clipped the ring on the hanger. Voila! Scarf cluster f*** in my closet solved. 

You may be thinking this chic does not have that big of a problem that's only like 20 scarves...To clarify, these images DO NOT include my wooly scarf collection. 

Have a great weekend!
