The sisterhood of the traveling scarf

When my boo and bestie Raven told me she was shipping me the traveling purple scarf next, I said "Um, you are aware it's over 100 degrees in Texas? I'm not wearing a scarf."  Naturally, she sent it anyway. 

I was to style the scarf to my liking and send it off to the next lucky lady. 

It arrived in this fancy package with a treat included for my floating shelves photo wall.  I think you can imagine my delight when this sexy little diddy on the right fell out of the package.  Raven, you shouldn't have.
Y'all do know that this girl has had TWO babies and looks better in a bikini than I ever will?  OK, good ... so you hate her too.

In light of our 100+ temps here in Texas, I was not wrapping this scarf around my neck as I previously warned, however, I did decide to style it as a hair accessory.  Let's take a look at how one wears a scarf in smoldering summer temps:
Pretty sure I look like a gypsy.  Oh well, it's time for the next victim.  I have decided this scarf needs some South Carolina lovin, so up next is Beth from Sweet Bef's Blog.  Surprise! Treat her well Ginge. 

Follow the scarf: Meredith, Erica, Melissa, Raven, yours truly and now Beth. 

Until we meet again my purple friend ... keep it real.


[UPDATE] P.S. I got a comment that I looked like Lauren Conrad in the first pic (always flattered when people say I look like her. If only I had her body too. Sigh.), so I Google searched for a pic of her sporting a similar look.  Jackpot:

  2. Leslie - what a great idea!! I love this- and yes your friend looks great. 2 kids?? wow.

    I love the scarf in your hair, I know it feel gypsy-esque - but its way cool. I thought you looked exactly like Lauren Conrad in your first photo.

    How does a girl sign up for the traveling scarf?

  3. this is a freaking cool idea!!!!! and can you please be any freaking prettier L?

    and raven...um...i haven't had any kids (unless beer is considered a kid) and my body looks nothing like yours (in a bad way for me). i wont even put a bikini on in fact (im like the fat kid at the pool growing up who wears a shirt over it LOL). you look hot!

    i think the scarf is going to need some international flava at some point...just sayin.

  13. Seriously, what an awesome idea! You look HOT as a little gypsy. Totally love what you did with the scarf because, um, I definitely would not have wanted to wear a scarf around my neck with those temps! Oh, and I want your hair :)

  16. 1) Is it odd I remember that episode of the Hills bc I liked her rocking that scarf? hmm 2) LOVE that you rocked it as a head band- i might be the biggest fan of hair accessories ever. Your hair looks fab!!! 3) Super bummed that Ulta was out of the eyeliner you suggested (bc you know i jumped right on that to get pencil #34.) xoxo!

  17. Love it! I can totally see the LC resemblance. I always associate the scarf headband with her during those early seasons of The Hills :)

  21. You're totally right...a TX summer automatically makes a scarf a NO GO.

    However, the purple is a really good color for you!
