P52 / 16 / anticipation

This series of pictures follows my anticipation for my friend Megan's birthday on Friday. My gift to her was a handmade pearl necklace, as you can see in the last picture.

[With Picnik officially shut down, I have had to find a new photo editing program. I'm currently using PicMonkey but they are still a work in progress and have yet to enable their "collage" feature.]

My first week of spring break went something like this:

#358: SADCC Day 25: the infinity 2

Presenting the final scarf tie of the Christmas season!

show&tell #358: SADCC Day 25: the infinity 2

Merry Christmas! The final scarf tie was supposed to be the decoration, but I didn't have anything that could pass for the little brooch the girl uses in the video so I decided to just skip it (since it's identical to the fake knot) and do my own tie for the last one. I call this the Infinity 2 because it's almost identical to the Infinity. Using a rectangle scarf, tie just the corners together rather than the entire end of each side. It makes a much smaller knot and it causes more "drapery" on the final product.

#357: SADCC Day 24: the double rainbow

I managed to find two scarves that work together for the double rainbow... and at the end of my rainbow is a huge box of Lucky Charms!! Yay Christmas!!

#356: SADCC Day 23: the basic loop

This one seems an awful lot like the modern one loop from Day 5... another one of those that is too similar to truly call a different style, but whatevs. Only two more scarf ties to go!!

#355: SADCC Day 22: the shell roll

Eh, I don't really prefer this one... it's doubtful that I will tie my scarf like this after today.

And although it's hard to see here, I'm wearing my Christmas present to myself: this awesome shirt from Threadless that I've wanted for a long time (but my size was always sold out) and finally managed to snag during their $10 tees sale!! (In case you can't tell, it's a tribute to the four houses of Hogwarts. Recognizeable only by other nerds like me!)

#350: SADCC Day 17: the key tie

I was so proud of myself for this one... and then I looked at the video again and realized it doesn't look anything like that it's supposed to! Oh well, I like the way it came out anyway. Today's picture represents today - multitasking for a super productive second day of vacation.

#349: SADCC Day 16: the wrap

Today is my first day of vacation!

I'm modeling another new scarf, this one a gift from my best friend here in Germany, Katrina. I'm also rocking an edgy necklace from my friend Megan (yay Christmas!) and crazy I-got-caught-in-a-torrential-downpour-today hair.

#348: SADCC Day 15: the toss

Today's scarf was imported from Hong Kong and was a Christmas gift from my awesome principal, Ruth. I LOVE IT!!

show&tell #348: SADCC Day 15: the toss

PS: I realize my fingers look pretty similar to Day 12. I promise: then, it was XII and today it's XV. :)

#346: SADCC Day 13: the X

It was a long day. I almost didn't get around to taking this picture.

Oh, and The X is kind of impossible. I don't recommend it.

show&tell #346: SADCC Day 13: the X

#344: SADCC Day 11: the fake knot

Forgive the poor quality of today's pic - all my batteries are dead so I had to resort to using the webcam on my computer.

Also, I've graduated to Roman numerals because, well, I only have 10 fingers. Can you see the XI? It kiiinda looks like I'm flashing a gang sign but I promise I'm not. Word.

#342: SADCC Day 9: the boa

True confessions: I'm slightly repulsed by this one. In the video, it looks like a giant donut around her neck, and it just seems so constricting. The look on my face says it all. But, I gave it a shot today because I didn't want to cover up too much of my awesome Phantom tee, and purposely wrapped it looser so avoid feeling constricted by the boa.

#341: SADCC Day 8: the magic trick

This one looks way more complicated than it actually is. It's a cinch. (haha... no pun intended!)

PS, I was running on fumes by the time I took this picture. Excuse the crazy hair and tired eyes.

#340: SADCC Day 7: the classic drape

I didn't have time for a solo shot today, so the scarf is a little hard to see. The classic drape works well with shorter, thinner scarves. Mine went perfectly with a collared shirt. This is my high school small group, minus one girl.

show&tell #340: SADCC Day 7: the classic drape

#339: SADCC Day 6: the DIY infinity

This one is really nice if you're a teacher, because when you lean over the desk to help a student, the fringe of your scarf doesn't fall all over said student. I will be utilizing it often this winter.

show&tell #339: SADCC Day 6: the DIY infinity

PS: In case you're like me and wondering what is the difference between the infinity and the DIY infinity... the infinity is created using a square scarf folded corner-to-corner whereas the DIY infinity is created using a rectangular scarf that is folded lengthwise. If took me awhile to figure that one out. In my humble opinion they seem way too similar to count as two separate "styles" but oh, well.

#338: SADCC Day 5: the modern one loop

A classic. If the European Loop is the second most common scarf tie, this one is the first.

show&tell #338: SADCC Day 5: the modern one loop

#337: SADCC Day 4: the european loop

This is probably the first (or second) most common way to wear a scarf.
PS, Today I actually had time to take my picture during daylight hours! Hooray.

show&tell #337: SADCC Day 4: the european loop

#336: SADCC Day 3: the turtleneck

When I saw this one in the video, I didn't really like the way it looked, nor did I think it would be comfy. I actually like the way it turned out with my fringe scarf, and it feels super cozy. Now we just need some snow here in Deutschland.
