I am so late in posting this look but I had to share it because it’s one of my favorite summer DIY tips… turning scarves into tops! I’ve been doing this for years and it works either way you tie it – front or back.
If you have something like this vintage scarf (similar styles linked below, this one is several years old), I think tying it in the back works best. I’ve also used scarves like this and knotted them in the front. If worn with high waisted jeans or a skirt, the extra fabric covers your stomach. Trust me – the end result is fabulous!
I’m going to challenge myself to style a scarf knotted in front for you guys on Instagram so you can see what I’m talking about. I think this is one of the easiest ways to put together a unique and one-of-a-kind casual summer look. Perfect for a beach trip or backyard cookout!

Is this something you could see yourself wearing? I have fun trying to make the most of my wardrobe, and it’s a great way to maximize that summer scarf you haven’t worn in a while.

Love this look on you!!! I used to tie my mother’s silk around me and loved it. Those earrings are ridiculously gorgeous too!
Happy Monday!

Hi there, I’m sorry if you have answered this question somewhere else but is your Cult Gaia bag the large or small? I love it and can’t decide what size to go with.
This is the small!
I absolutely flipped when I saw you post this on Insta! It is GORGEOUS! Strange question though – how do you hold it up? It looks almost like it loosely drapes in the back, so I was wondering how you keep it comfortable held up. Thanks!!
This is a great tip! I always thought it’s sad how much of the print of the scarf is covered up when we fold it, then tie it around our neck. This is so fun and unique!
