VERSUS!!

I love scarves. I have tons of them. And I have come to the conclusion that there is 2 majorly different but effective ways to wear scarves.
  New York City                                           VERSUS                                                      L.A.
                                                     
When I think of New York City, I think of a chic and classic person.And When I think of someone born in L.A, I think of somebody the laid back and " Yeah I just got up but I still look awesome." type of person. A way to wear a scarf ,that to me epitimizes New York City is to mix it up. For instance, The denim button up,the distressed satchel, and buckled boots was a bit utilitarian. Then the ruffled skirt added some femininity. And last but not least the leopard print scarf comes out of nowhere yet it matches seamlessly. Lately I've really liked buttoning up the whole shirt, and tying it in a knot at the waist. But I don't know if it's just me but if I were in New York wearing this outfit, I think I would fit in nicely. But fitting in in a Texas high school....that's another story. 
   Now look to the picture in the right hand side, That's an "L.A". way of wearing a scarf. Now instead of the thin rectangular shape and nice fabric of the NYC scarf the L.A. scarf is squre shaped with loosely woven fabric. How I wore this outfit, I just got a T-shirt and my denim motercyle jacket (It's ironic since I don't ride motercycles.) , and paired those with a splatter painted scarf & a purple loose beret for some color. And although this isn't necesarely L.A., I always like to add some retroness. So I put on cropped jeggings and my wingtip oxfords.
    Overall I would have to give the scarf victory (Oh my god that sounds lame.).... To New York City!!!!
 Then again I'll have to admit, I'm a bit biased since I have a giant NYC sticker behind me.
 Well gotta go.
