Fall is coming and one of my favorite accessories to wear is a scarf. Often I just find just one way to tie it and I keep wearing it that single way. So I decided that we all could use a more versatile piece. I'll show you the many ways to tie a scarf from images and tutorials all over the internet so we can keep it all in one place and refer back here when we need a little help in the morning.
From Wendy's Lookbook this video has 25 ways to tie a scarf, yes, 25!!

How to tie a half-bow scarf
To tie the half-bow scarf, you should first loop the scarf around your neck and tie once-- like the first step of tying your shoelaces. Then, take one side of the scarf and make a one loop, as if you were only tying one side of the bow on your shoes. Take the longer section of the scarf and wrap it in front and then behind the entire scarf, next to your neck. Fluff the loop afterwards to taste. This is a variation on this half-bow scarftutorial.
