Quickie Style Tip: Knit Circle Scarf

Hi! Today's quickie style tip is turning a normal, knit scarf into a knit, circle scarf! I personally love all kinds of scarves, including circle scarves. Unfortunately, nice circle scarves can really push the budget. But what if you could get a "new" circle scarf for about $5? Well, this is one way I get circle scarves for a very low price. You'll need a knit scarf, some yarn that is a similar color to your scarf, and a crochet stick (not necessary but would make it a lot easier).



1. Get a normal, knit scarf that you already have or pick one up when you go to the thrift store. Make sure it's knit and make sure there is nothing on the ends on the scarf.

2. Then, take your long strand of yarn and preferably, a crochet stick and use the slip knot to join to two separate ends together. 
If you are not using a crochet stick than this will be a bit tedious. Take the two ends of the scarf and match them together. Then, take your long strand of yarn and start threading and weaving it through the holes near the top of the ends. Make sure to tie a knot at the beginning and end!



There you go! A new circle scarf to compliment your outfit!

Enjoy!

Wanted: Maroon Pants & Booties

Wanted:  Booties & Maroon Pants
Wanted dead or alive


Womens Mossimo Supply Co. Karen Heeled Desert Bootie - Cognac

Aliases: Lace Up Booties
Crime: Looking good with skinny jeans, tights, leggings, or bare legs.
Reward: $24.48

I first saw a pair that was similar to this pair on the Charlottle Russe website and immediately fell in love with the style. It was around $30 at the time but I didn't order it and I have been regretting it. Recently I found this pair on the Target website and decided that I had to have it. But without a credit card I will have to be on the look out for these shoes! I love this style for booties and have been wanting one for months. These shoes would go great with skinny jeans tucked into them and whatever top I decide to throw on that day.


Rich & Skinny Legacy Jean in Red Leather
Aliases: Burgundy Jeans, Maroon Pants
Crime: Looking amazing with any sort of top.
Reward: $99.99

This is the most amazing pair of jeans I have ever seen! The color is so beautiful. I'm on the hunt for a replacement pair of maroon jeans and I can't wait to get my hands on some! I can just picture this pair of jeans with a dark jacket, a dark shirt, a pair of calf length boots, and these jeans just peeking out. Sigh. It's love, we'd be so perfect together!

Enjoy! Anything you've been wanting?
