Edition 56: Fashion Friday (with a giveaway!)

Do you ever have one of those moments where your child does something that is so frighteningly similar to something you would do that it kind of causes you to shiver at the power of DNA? Maybe it’s the way they put their hands on their hips when they’re talking or the way they laugh too loud at a joke?

Or maybe the way they organize their closet?

Last night before bed, Caroline wanted to show me something in her closet. She had developed some type of wardrobe labeling system that she wanted to share. The good news is that after four years of me saying “The clothes on this side of your closet are for WINTERTIME! and the clothes on this other side are for SUMMERTIME! You cannot wear a sundress when it’s 30 degrees outside”, she finally managed to embrace the basic concept.

The bad news is she labeled it in marker. Not with one of the vast amounts of Crayola washable markers that we have all over the house, but the lone Sharpie permanent marker that I reserve for emergency situations.

Behold, WINTER. She went with the phonetic spelling. And an exclamation point for emphasis.

And, Spring! Or rather “Sring” complete with a little flower illustration.

Thus, our almost 100 year old original cedar closet is forever changed.

And I’ve put the Sharpie marker up on a high shelf.

Now for the questions.

1. Several people have asked: “What are your thoughts on the maxi dress? Can it be worn by just anyone? Are they here to stay?”

Well, all I know is that when I wore mine the other day while hanging out with Jack, Chrissy and Janet at their apartment, I was really comfortable and felt very current. Oh wait, that wasn’t me. That was Mrs. Roper on “Three’s Company”.

Oh it’s just a little 70′s humor.

I actually like the maxi dress even though I don’t own one. I get the concept, but it feels very dramatic to me and I’m not sure where I’d wear it. It may be a little much for a PTO meeting. However, if I found one I really liked, I would definitely buy it. Well, except for the fact that I’m on a bit of a fashion fast and not buying anything these days.

The other thing to remember is that the maxi dress isn’t going to work for everyone. I think you need to be a little tall to pull it off without looking dumpy. You can still get the same kind of look, but with a dress that comes to your knees instead of your ankles. Of course, technically, that would eliminate the “maxi” part of maxi dress and you’d just have a “dress”.

And keep in mind that you can totally wear a fitted t-shirt under these dresses because, if you’re like me, you can’t really leave the house without a little invention known as the brassiere. I gave up on strapless bras a long time ago because I find them to be a concept that has proved to be way too ambitious.

Here are a few cute maxi dresses if you’re ready to give them a try.

2. Megan asks: “We are no longer allowed to wear open-toe shoes at work. We are limited to closed-toe shoes only. My office is in Houston and obviously not run by men, hence the no open-toe shoe policy thing. What are your suggestions for us?”

I guess in this precarious economy it’s not a good call to quit your job over the shoe issue. The folks at the unemployment office may not understand.

But don’t despair. There are still good shoe times to be had. How about something like this? Or these? Or maybe these? These are cute slingbacks with a closed toe and if you really feel daring you could go with something like this.

That’s all the questions for now because I need to go to bed. Caroline and I are taking a little road trip tomorrow and I am in desperate need of some REM sleep.

So, now for the giveaway.

A few weeks ago, Alison emailed me to let me know that she watched the scarf video and mentioned she happens to sell scarves in her online boutique. Well, I immediately emailed her back and begged her to do a giveaway because, oh my word, she has the cutest scarves. It seems fitting to give away a scarf since I’ve mentioned them a time or eight hundred in the last few months.

Here’s how you enter:

1. Go visit the Ali J Boutique and check out all her beautiful scarves.

2. Come back here and leave me a comment about anything you want, but try to mention which scarf you’d really like to win.

3. Please, no duplicate comments because it makes my head feel like it’s going to explode when I have to figure out if there are extraneous comments that need to be deleted.

4. I’ll close comments on Monday, March 30th at noon and announce the winner shortly thereafter.

I’m putting up Mr. Linky if you have a fashion post that you want to link. Also, please make sure you post the link to your specific post and not just your blog. It makes life easier for everyone and by everyone, I mean me.

Y’all have a great Friday!

    I like the plain ol’ brown scarf the best! And I just want to say, I always look forward to Fashion Fridays :-)

  2. 2

    If it were for me, I would go with the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf, but I know my mom would love the Tan and Brown Paisley Scarf, and her birthday is coming up. :)

  3. 3

    Oh my! They’re all great!! You and Angie have hooked me on scarves and I’ve been having trouble finding, well…ANY at stores in my area. It seems that Minnesota still thinks they’re just for the thick of winter. Anywhoo, I think the Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina is darling!! I need to step outside of my solid color scarves!!

  4. 4

    Pashmina Turquoise is my girl! Love the scarves and love the Steve Madden shoe you suggested!

    Tabi says:

    Oooooh….I have really gotten into the scarf thing this year! I love the plain black one! I need one to go with just about anything…or the bright pink one…have several shirts that would go with too…oh the choices!!

    Angie says:

    I love the turquoise scarf, such a fun pop of color!

    A couple years ago when my boys were 4 and 2, my hubby walked in them in their room drawing on the walls with a red sharpie. ALL over the walls. The best part? The oldest had written his name, and pointed at the two-year-old and said, “Bear did it.” Ahhhhh, children. At least ours could be painted over.

    The scarves are beautiful — thanks for sharing this site so we can know to shop there! THe solid blue pashima scarf is absolutely beautiful — the most wonderful color and a very lacking color in my drab wardrobe of earth tones. Love that scarf!

    jenngetts says:

    oh my goodness!
    i’m the scarf queen!!
    it was very hard to choose which one b/c i really loved all of them..
    however, i think my first pick would be:

    THE BLACK SCARF!!

    Oooohhhhh I love the orange and purple paisley PAshmina scarf. Absolutely gorgeous!

  11. 11

    Oooooh! Those Steve Madden shoes are DIVINE. I only wish I had an occasion to wear such a thing. Perhaps I should go back to working outside the home so I can buy more cute shoes.

    And the solid coral pashmina scarf is gorgeous. What a nice shop.

    Have fun on your day trip!

    Who doesn’t need a little pink houndstooth in their wardrobe? love Love LOVE the scarfs….after all it IS the year of the scarf….Don’t you just love sharpies and yet I always wonder how they manage to find the lone one that is our house when I seem to hunt for hours to find it?

  13. 13
    Denise Grove says:

    Ok here’s a question from a fashion flunky. What is Pashmina anyway???? Oh who cares! I love them all anyway. The maroon/tan is my favorite!

  14. 14
    Mary says:

    I love the solid gold, or the maroon and tan bubbles. Since I am short I would probably get the solid color one.

  15. 15
    Dee Anne says:

    I really like the turquoise and lime scarf…such fun colors!

  16. 16
    Misti says:

    Ooh, they’re all beautiful, it’s hard to decide. I’d have to go with either the fuscyia or the blue/white bubble. Gorgeous!

  17. 17
    Becky says:

    Gorgeous! I love the plum and rose one. And I love the story about Caroline. Have a great weekend!

  18. 18
    Gena says:

    Either the brown or black one for sure. They are all really beautiful. Dare I say more beautiful than the maxi dress……

    I would love the solid coral pashmina!!!

    And, the closet labeling system is hilarious!

    Turquoise or fuscia…I like the colors to be bright!

    So pretty and colorful.

    Shawna says:

    So sorry about the permanent marker. Been there! Try the Mr. Clean Magic Sponges, or whatever they’re called. They can get almost anything off, perhaps even permanent marker.

    Theresa says:

    I like the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf best, although anything with blues and greens appeals to me. I wonder if I actually look good in those colors, or if I’ve just convinced myself that over the years. ;-)

  30. 30

    I’m pretty plain, so I’m all about the black one or the brown one. Oh La La…love em!

    And your Caroline, for the 100th time, she will be the grandaughter of http://www.grahamcrakas.blogspot.com/! And, I LOVE that you embrace her *doings* and are honest!

    Oh my word, I need that orange paisley scarf to add to my arsenal of Clemson football game attire! Too perfect!!

    Courtney says:

    I love the hot pink or black. They would go with so many things in my closet.

  34. 34

    Oooh, I like the Pashmina Turquoise scarf. Have fun on your road trip!

  35. 35
    Southern Gal says:

    Oh.my.word.

    I’m naturally an indecisive person anyway, but oh.my.word. How to choose between all those lovely scarves?

    I would have to say teal or turquoise or hot pink or black or one of those paisley numbers…

    Sorry.

  36. 36
    Stephanie says:

    Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face! She has lots of beautiful things, but I think my favorite scarf would be the pink and gray houndstooth. I have a couple of solid ones, so a fun print would be a nice change.

  37. 37
    Shelly D. says:

    Oh my! They are all beautiful, but I’m really lovin’ on the Turqoise and Lime Paisley. If I wasn’t on shopping restriction that thing would be in my shopping cart before you could say fiddle de de!

    Jaime says:

    I like the pink and gray houndstooth!

    I am loving that Turquoise and Orange Paisley, though the plain Turquoise is also beyond lovely…

    michelle says:

    I love the cute scarves with bubbles, but I think I would need a solid scarf, because I am still learning the art of wearing a scarf, and I don’t think I could pull off the bubbles!

    LOVE the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf.

    I’d like the 100% Pashmina Orange and Purple Paisley Scarf just b/c it’s so much fun to say!

    Absolutely the Turquoise Accordion. Great color for summer.

    Sara says:

    Big Mama,
    After watching your scarf video for the second time I embraced the trend last night for our Mom’s Night Out event. I rocked it. Thanks for your insight. I love love love that pink and grey houndstooth.
    Thanks for making me a little more trendy.

  45. 45

    Who doesn’t love gray and pink houndstooth with a gray t-shirt???

    Oh, and I bought a Maxi at the end of last season at Rue 21 (not knowing they were going to be the “rage” this year .. figured I’d wear it on our next cruise or tropical vaca) for $5 !!! Who’s excited about that dress now???

  46. 46
    Vickie says:

    I want to win the Turquoise & Lime Paisley Floral Pashmina. I also love all the bubble sacrves too.

    I like the Turquoise Accordion Ombre Scarf…or the Yellow Accordian Scarf. All are beautiful!

    Laura says:

    I always get such a kick out of Fashion Friday! My favorite scarf is the maroon and tan polka dots.

  50. 50

    I love your blog!!! WOO HOO Texas!!! I love the fuschia scarf. I do not own a scraf, so I would love to have this one!

    Elizabeth Akins says:

    100% Pashmina Black Scarf is my favorite! Black is super simple and cute! I love your blog….keep it coming!

  52. 52
    Cindra says:

    I love the polka dot scarves, but the blue/aqua one is my favorite.

  53. 53
    Kellie says:

    I would go with the solid coral scarf – I’ve heard and seen that coral is the new color this spring and summer – am I right? I don’t think I can handle an entire shirt or dress in this color, but I could add an accessory and feel good about it!

  54. 54
    Casey says:

    Good for Caroline with the phonics :)

    Love the solid blue pashmina. I love all pashminas actually. :) I am having a great time buying as many as I can while I live in Europe!

  55. 55

    Have fun on your trip! I learned my lesson about the Sharpie last year when my then-two year old decided to add her own flair to our *fancy* coffee table. I found her face down on the carpet, the Sharpie lying inches from her outstretched hand. She knew she’d messed up. I am curious as to how Caroline reacted…. :)

  56. 56
    Jennifer says:

    I love the solid blue scarf…and as far as your closet goes, rubbing alcohol will take permanent marker off of almost anything. I hope that works for you!

  57. 57
    Michelle says:

    I’m lovin’ me the turquoise and blue paisley one. And the other one. Oh, and ALL of them! Bookmarking her site!

    BTW, with the maxi dress.. I feel like I need spanx. But I don’t feel that way with the knee length ones. Strange.

  58. 58

    I love the turquoise and lime paisley scarf! So adorable!!

  59. 59
    Kate says:

    I’m a big fan of the versatility provided by the white scarf. But they’re all so cute!

  60. 60
    Jacque says:

    It’s a hard decision, but I like the turquoise (even if it is hard to spell)scarf.

  61. 61
    Lesleigh says:

    I love the solid black scarf. I think I already own a scarf in every color besides black!

  62. 62
    Michelle N. says:

    I’d love to win the turquoise and lime floral. Fun contest.

  63. 63
    Sherri says:

    OH MY GOODNESS! All of those pashminas are fabulous. How does a girl choose just one? It would be a toss-up between the turquoise and lime or brown and tan paisley, or the pink houndstooth. I will be checking her site out again!

  64. 64
    sue.g says:

    Hi Mel!

    The scarves are beautiful. I do have a concern about scarves. I prefer a scarf that cannot also be used as a bedspread,,,,,some of these scarves are just too much fabric. Is it a scarf, a shawl, a table covering? I have boobs and a wide scarf bunched up on top of these boobs is just too much! I suppose this personal preference, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks for Fashion Fridays. A little something to look forward to on Friday for a SAHM!

    I like the gold scarf.

    Kim says:

    Oh these are nice. I’d love to win the brown one!

  67. 67
    Kristi says:

    I’m really a fan of the solids. I like the coral.

  68. 68
    Lauren says:

    The reversible blue and white bubble scarf is my favorite!

    And I totally agree about the maxi dresses. If you’re under 5’7″, I think it’s just going to look like a nightgown. Technically, if you’re a petite, a long skirt like that is just going to make your legs look super short since there’s no distinction between waist and legline. I’ve watched way too many “What Not to Wear”s and banished ankle length skirts from my wardrobe a long time ago!

  69. 69
    Carolyn says:

    Oh my word! I love the gray and pink Houndstooth scarf because it would match my new gray satin trench perfectly! Thank you for posting her link – I will be back there to shop.

    Sabrina says:

    I like the maroon and tan bubble scarf. So cute.

  71. 71
    Angela says:

    NO NO NO to the maxi dress. Looks like a baby is needing to grow under all that fabric. Nothing says extra pounds like a maternity-ish dress. Yikes. But, I do love a scarf! Thanks for a giveaway to get us excited about the weekend. I’m wearing one right now ready to go run errands today. I’d love the Houndstooth Scarf Pink and Grey if I win. Blessings to you!

  72. 72
    sue byers says:

    Have pity on me. I linked my school website to “Mr. Linky”. I know there “are no accidents” but… Anyway, I’m favoring the bubble reversible brown and cream pashmina. so versatile. Thanks for the laughs.

  73. 73
    Jenny Lynn says:

    I love the maroon and tan! It’s fabulous. I need a scarf that’s got a little character. All of mine are solid colors. This one would look great with a lot of different things!

  74. 74
    Laura says:

    It would be really hard choosing a scarf. They are all very cute. I would probably choose a pink or turquise one.

    About the Sharpie marker situation. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes Sharpie from most anything, but I don’t have a cedar closet. You might give it a try!

  75. 75
    Rachel says:

    I love the blue and white bubble scarf. How pretty. I just started wearing scarves recently and hubby likes them. Yeah me!

  76. 76
    Susan B. says:

    I absolutely love the Yellow Accordion Ombre scarf. However, they are all absolutely beautiful! Hope you and Caroline have a GREAT road trip.

  77. 77
    Whitney Jenkins says:

    Did you see the Pink Circle Print Wrinkled Scarf? Could it be any cuter?

  78. 78

    Love ALL of the bubble scarves! But that last one (plum and rose) is speaking to me at the moment :)

  79. 79
    Happy Geek says:

    I LOVE the tan and brown paisley pashmina.
    So pretty.

  80. 80
    Jill says:

    I am always behind the trends and in this case it’s no different… I don’t have a scarf! If I win, I’d like the Solid Blue Pashmina one. Yay!

  81. 81
    Amy says:

    I love the Pashmina Fushchia Scarf!

  82. 82
    Chelsea Price says:

    They are all beautiful! I love the fuchsia and the turquoise, but also really liked the pink and grey houndstooth. That would be a hard choice! I would probably need your opinion on which would be more versatile.
    Thanks!

  83. 83
    Carolyn says:

    Thanks for posting on the maxi dress issue. I’ve been looking at those dresses but being a 5’3″ person, I wasn’t sure if I should embrace the long dress or go with the short….I’m going with the short dress. While I’d miss the comfort of hiding in a long dress, I still really like the top part of the short maxi dress.

  84. 84
    Jessica says:

    I like the pashmina teal scarf. I’ve decided to join the scarf trend if it ever gets cool again in Texas.

  85. 85
    Michele says:

    I love the bubble reversible brown and cream pashmina but would probably get more use out of the black scarf. I have been wanting to venture into the scarf world and but havne’t taken the leap yet. :) This would be my push.

  86. 86
    Krista Horne says:

    I like the silver fishnet scarf. very nice!

  87. 87
    strawberryrose says:

    I love all the scarves, but I think I would go with black. Cute!

  88. 88

    I would love the yellow ombre accordion scarf. how cute for summer!?

  89. 89
    Bronwen says:

    I love the shoes you suggested.I hate the maxi dress/ town gown plus those Old Navy ads with the plastic people weird me out. The scarves are awesome- love the turquoise and lime paisley!

  90. 90

    But what if it’s really, really hard to choose one? My gut says brown. But I’m so attracted by the turquoise & lime. And the light blue & white.

    And I’m with Carolyn — thanks for the maxi dress thoughts. I want to jump on board, but I’m 5’2″. And with the empire seams they’ve got, I just feel like it’s going to come off as maternity on me. I suppose a petite maxi dress is an oxymoron.

  91. 91
    Cynthia says:

    Love the Pashmina Teal Scarf.

  92. 92
    Mary says:

    Oh my. I definitely need the fuschia or turquoise scarves. I can’t pick between the two. And I definitely need to win this giveaway!!! :)

  93. 93
    Dee says:

    I really love her scarfs! I would choose the brown one.

  94. 94
    Mary says:

    The pink and gray houndstooth!! Super cute and I’m 100 % with you on the maxi dress–on all fronts. It looks really cute on models but not on many other people…a girl can dream.

  95. 95
    Elizabeth says:

    A word about the maxi dress: I’m 5’6 and didn’t think I could pull them off, but I fell in LOVE with one from Anthropologie last summer. Each time I went into the store, I would long for it, and I finally worked up the courage to give it a go in August (it was also on sale, which helped a lot) It is the most comfortable thing in the world! If you’re worried about pulling it off, just find a cheap one you love and give it a try! Some cute wedges might help with the height, but I like it with flat sandals.

    ‘m on a spending freeze for 2009, but I’m scouring the fashion world to find one more that’s comfortable and affordable, because they’re so much fun!

    As for the scarves, I love the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf–SO CUTE!

  96. 96

    Okay, while those shoes are cute, they are impractical for my needs. So here goes!

    We have a closed toe shoe policy at work as well. I work at an art gallery and apparently an employee dropped something on their foot once that required stitches. Now we’re stuck paying for that with a lack of fashion in footwear.

    I like to wear cute summer dresses, but all the closed toe practical FLAT sandals look like I should be shuffling off of senior citizens shuttle bus. Currently, I wear Birkenstocks. They are wonderfully comfy, but I do have a bit better fashion sense than that.

    HELP!

  97. 97
    Makila says:

    It’s really hard to choose! I love all the pink ones. I like the pink double textured scarf because it looks a bit different!

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    I tried on the Old navy short maxi dress (which by the way…maxi dress just reminds me of maxi pad) and it was COMPLETELY AND 100% see through. Can’t wear that to church..though it would make a cute swim cover up.

    Love Fashion Friday! Have a fun road trip with your sweet pea.

  98. 98
    Jill says:

    I love the TURQUOISE! Great color for spring (to me anyway)! Also, good picks on the shoes! I like the first and last pairs…they say “I mean business, people!”

  99. 99

    Oh my. I definitely need the fuschia or turquoise scarves. I can’t pick between the two. And I definitely need to win this giveaway!!! :)

    sorry, your blog is giving me heck. it’s not letting me post this. does it know there might be more than one mary in the world?? so let’s see if i can get this to go through…

  100. 100
    Donna says:

    I just love the orange and purple paisley scarf. Orange is my new favorite color for spring, and it would be a great pop of color on any neutral background. I am not exactly to the mixing print stage yet.
    Thanks for all of your advice mixed with humor.

  101. 101
    Kristen Penn says:

    Okay i know its boring but i was immediately drawn to the Pashmina White Scarf… so classic and gorgeous. That is the one i would like to win, however i may have to buy just a few more!! ;) thanks for the giveaway!

  102. 102
    Meagan says:

    I love the pink and gray houndstooth… I just love houndstooth all around really…

    and the closet organization thing cracks me up. :)

    I’m tooo short for Maxi dresses, which makes me very say… life is not fair.

  103. 103
    Joc says:

    I sure would love that Orange Paisely scarf. I would LOVE it.

  104. 104
    Heather says:

    Orange Paisley Pashmina, please!

    And if I don’t win, I may have to hop back over there and buy a scarf because they are cute and the price is nice. Thanks for the tip.

    Have a wonderful weekend….

  105. 105

    OMG! I am in love with the 1237 Plum and Rose Reversible Bubble Print Pashmina Scarf. I’m known around where I live as the girl who owns everything pink. There is tons of laughter as I pull something else pink from my bag. I do own a few things that aren’t pink, but the vast majority is pink. LOL!

  106. 106
    Diane G says:

    Rose Accordion and I would make beautiful music! BTW, I have a 5 year old Caroline with a mind of her own, and a huntin’ husband, G. : ) Just love your site for my daily laughs!

    Heather Kay says:

    I like the turquoise. It would be my first scarf! Since the 80′s that is…when I had one with neon colors.

  108. 108
    April Z says:

    Those are beautiful scarves. I’ve never worn a scarf before, but I’d like to give it a go. I’d probably pick the pashmina fuschia because people tell me that I look good in that color.

    Leslie says:

    Ooooooh! Turquoise and Lime? Could it get any yummier than that! Love it! I am a scarf FANATIC – and have been for years. I can’t believe I was actually ahead of my time in any area of fashion!

    (and this may be cheating, because I do love Ali’s things, but I have a friend making scarfs for women and girls – you should check her out too — http://jmelcena.wordpress.com/
    They’re handmade in regular and summer weight – I’ve got one ordered right now!)

    Staci says:

    Poor original cedar closets…But what memories are being made! That’s a fair tradeoff, I’m thinking!

    I love the pink and gray houndstooth scarf, but – really, now – they are all gorgeous!

  111. 111
    Amy says:

    I like the Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina. This would my 2nd scarf of the season because a friend & I went to 2 different Walmart’s in the same day at your suggestion. We each got a $5 scarf that has us ready for the season!

  112. 112
    Carrie says:

    I really like the turquoise scarf–I wear a lot of white tees and that would look cute with jeans or khakis I think. I’m getting ready to have a baby any day now too–so a scarf would cover up my post-baby jiggle…that would be nice:)

    Love both the dark brown as well as the orange! :)

    I love both the teal and the turqouise! I would have a hard time deciding!

    Angela says:

    Ooh, I love either the turquoise scarf (with a brown shirt) or the brown scarf (with a turquoise shirt). Hmmmm….maybe I should break out of my normal dress patterns…or maybe not.

    deanna f. says:

    Thanks to you I now know how to wear a scarf. But too bad I don’t own one!

    This is a perfect give-away for me!!!
    My two favorites of Ali’s are the Pashmina Brown Scarf and the Houndstooth Scarf Pink and Grey.

    Thanks & have a wonderful day!!!

    Love em!! I would choose either the plain brown or the turqoise and lime….too cute! Also on the maxi dress…totally depends on your body type…I think :) But I like em!

  122. 122
    Teresa says:

    They are all beautiful! If I had to pick just one, I like the solid blue pashmina. I have always loved scarves. In style or out of style, they are my style!

  123. 123
    Ann says:

    the brown and tan paisley pashmina may make me a convert to the whole scarf thing. It’s lovely and I just want to touch it!

    Teresa says:

    Turqouise, lime and paisley are three words I never thought I’d be using in the same sentence, but I really like that scarf! Thanks for the giveaway.

    wesley's mom says:

    Oh my gosh! I want them all, but if I were forced to pick just one I would have to get the turquoise and lime paisley.

    I like the Pashmina Turqouise Scarf and Solid Coral Pashmina Scarf- all very cute!

  127. 127

    Ooh…I love the solid blue one! I haven’t seen a color like that in awhile!

    Pam D says:

    The bubble reversible brown and cream is lovely… what a fun addition to the brown look! Bet it feels yummy, too. And sadly, I am waaaaay too short for the maxi look, something I did not understand in the 70′s when I was in junior high. Can’t even bear to look at those pictures now; heartbreaking.

  129. 129
    Anne says:

    i’m a scarf junkie. this giveaway makes me happy! i’m in love with the turquoise and orange paisley pashmina. or the turquoise and lime. they are all simply gorgeous!

    and the maxi dress? LOVE THEM because they look like summer, without having to shave past my knee. i’m so willing to look like Mrs. Roper for that.

    I love the Bubble Print: Brown and Creme. This would be perfect with khaki pants and a little top this summer.
    What beautiful things she has on her site.

    Darla says:

    I love the ones with the bubbles on them, but you’d have to come to Houston to show me what to wear them with, so I’m going with a solid. Solid any color.

    Because even though I’m 41 I still need those Granimal outfits from when I was a kid that coordinated the pants and top together.

    Which is why I like fashion Friday so much.

    Oh…and last week one of my HBU students wore a maxi dress and I had not heard/seen the maxi dress (which I do NOT like the name), but I thought she was trying out a formal or something. Now I know she is on the fashion front lines.

    I’m in the back.

    Heidi Tracht says:

    Love all the scarves, and I would choose the “Pink Circle Print Wrinkled Scarf” b/c I love the colors and anything that is supposed to be wrinkled!

    Also, I about 15 years, you will treasure Caroline’s permanent words written in the cedar closet (I did the same thing as a child)!

    Erin says:

    i like the torquoise and lime paisley one!

    and just so you know, I had NO idea those dresses were called maxi dresses. I thought they were “long sundresses with spaghetti straps and deep v-necks”

    i think i need to expand my vocabulary

    Hey there,

    I just wanted to let you know that about a year ago our daughter marked all over the family room carpet with a Sharpie marker. I bought this product: http://www.amodexink.com/ and it removed the stain! It really did work!

    I absolutely adore the pink and gray houndstooth scarf…Roll Tide! Also, Fashion Fridays are beginning to depress me b/c I am also cutting back on my clothing purchases but see a pair of cute shoes that I really want every week. You have such great taste!

    Jess says:

    On my goodness, those scarves are all cute! I am particularly fond of the turquoise and green one.

    The closet labeling is adorable! Well, adorable to me because it’s not my closet. But seriously, she will be scrubbing to remove Witt! to no avail by the teen years. Love it!

    MacKenzie says:

    I was doing the scarf thing this winter but I also live in Texas and my winter scarf got retired a while ago. I would love one of her cute springy scarfs so I could keep up with the scarf fashion trend. I really like the Turquise and Lime Paisley.

    We have a dresser where my little sister wrote all over the inside of the drawers and we always laugh we we see it… it is so cute now that she is 22!

    Even though its not a 100 yr old cedar closet…. it’s just a closet- keep it in perspective :)

    Ok, first I LOVE your fashion Fridays!!!! I just stumbled across your blog a few weeks ago and you keep me smiling every morning when I check in! I love the contest idea, and after a week with a very sick 3 year old (looking for the pity vote ) I would love love love the gorgeous Pashmina Brown Scarf!!!! It would make my whole week!!! Thank you for the laughs and advice! And keep the stories about your daughter coming… she cracks me up!!!!

  157. 157

    Those bubble designs are cute but the orange and purple paisley scarf is my favorite.

    And those red shoes, oh my goodness. I would not be able to concentrate at work if I were wearning those. I’d be looking at my feet all day.

    Emilyc says:

    Hi! I love your Fashion Friday blogs!! I really liked the Orange & Purple Paisley scarf. I was just wondering if you would ever considered doing not only clothing but hair tips on Fashion Friday. I have long hair and I love it but sometimes I feel like I get in such a rut and would love some tips. It’s hard to manage at times because it’s frizzy/curly.

  161. 161
    Kelley says:

    I’ve been kicking myself for not buying a scarf in Las Vegas for $10. (I KNOW! $10!!).

    I love the Bubble Reversible Dark Olive and Maroon Pashmina. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE.

    Since I live in MN and it seems as though spring will never come, I would love another fun scarf. : )

    Thanks, Big Mama and Alison!

    Nicole says:

    Can I just say I like fashion friday if only because it keeps me up on the latest terminology? I had no idea what a maxi dress was–I had never heard the term. But I had seen them in the store. And I know for a fact they won’t work for my 5’2″ frame!

    And I love the scarves–I would pick the maroon and tan one (go dawgs!)

    I love the reversible bubble blue and white scarf. They are all so pretty though!

    I like the bubble scarves – the blue and white or pink combo ones.

    thank you for fashion fridays! i love the 100% Pashmina Turquoise and Orange Paisley Scarf. it’s so cute!!

  175. 175
    Sunni says:

    Before I say which scarf I would choose, please allow me to applaud you for finding humor in the sharpie situation. I would still be having a meltdown over that one. I guess if we need to find a bright side, at least Caroline did finally come over to your side about the seasonal dressing, but does it really count as one for the team when the closet is now ruined? Just ruined. I call a draw.

    Now, for my scarf pick…..it would definitely be the Bubble reversible brown and cream one. How cute is that!?!

  176. 176
    Julie Schaal says:

    The plum and rose pashmina or the pink circles scarf are the ones I like. They are all lovely, though!

    Sara says:

    Big Mama! I also love the scarf, I went to the BEST wedding shower a couple of weeks ago… theme Tying the Knot… They showed various ways to tie a scarf and every guest left with their own, so cute!

    My personal favorites on Ali J’s page are the orange paisley and turquoise and lime floral.

    I love the bubble orange/brown scarf. SO CUTE!!!

  182. 182

    You’re prolly gonna think this is a cop out, but I seriously like the plain ‘ol Pashmina White Scarf for $18. Seriously. I mean, white…for a scarf. Genius. All mine (and by all, I mean the 2 in my closet) have 15,721 colors on them and I get so anxious trying to decide if they really “match” what I’m wearing.

    White + Scarf = Happy Beaver Momma

    Oh, and they should change the name of a Maxi dress to something that does NOT make me think of a woman’s monthly visit from Aunt Flo. Seriously.

  183. 183
    Beth says:

    I would absolutely LOVE, and WEAR TO DEATH, the solid blue pashmina! SO pretty!

    Davida says:

    I would love the turquoise pashmina for my daughter as she is a serious scarf girl. She’s in college and has been studying in Rome this semester. She’s been gone since January 2nd and won’t be home until the first part of May and I MISS HER! It would be a wonderful welcome home gift. (Going for the sympathy vote here.)

  188. 188

    I like the long dress look, but really – couldn’t they have come up with a better name for it?! Maxi just sounds way to feminine product-y to me. I mean, what next – Maxi Dress with Wings??

    I love the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf. Beautiful!

    Carrie Hartman says:

    Funny you should mention the maxi dress. My friend, Jan, and I were just talking about this very subject yesterday. I wish I could pull it off, but am not sure. I am tall, but it’s really my torso; not my legs. Anywho, love your blog and read it often. You make me laugh..sometimes outloud!

  209. 209
    Rebecca says:

    Oooo. Pretty scarves. My favorites would have to be the Tan Circle Print Wrinkled Scarf or Comfy Cotton Green Scarf.

    I think the Maxi dress could work at a summer picnic or date night but I think I might feel like I was trying too hard to be trendy. I think it might work better if I was 25 and no 39.

  210. 210

    I would like the solid coral scarf. Because one time in high school, I wore a coral dress, and my Granny said I looked beautiful. She went on and on, and even years later talked about that dress.

    I didn’t have the heart to tell her I’d long since outgrown it, so I pretended like I didn’t like the dress.

    That was wrong. So now I’d like a scarf to make up for it.

    (What? That doesn’t make sense? Sorry – it’s been a rough week…!)

    I’d love to win one for my daughter. I think she’d like the Orange and Purple Paisley or the Turquoise and Lime Paisley.

    Wow – already so many comments – here is mine. I would love to have the Solid Gold Mashmina – not for me, but to give to my youngest daughter for her 24th birthday. She will be performing pre-wedding Maid-of-Honor duties with her best friend on her birthday weekend (April 10th) in Mississippi. I would love to surprise her with this scarf!

    Courtney says:

    The turquoise scarf has my name written ALL over it! so cute!

    caroline cracks me up. it’s amazing how children seem to be magnets drawn to permanent markers.

    Kasey Jordan says:

    A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting!

    Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked down his window, turned on his bullhorn and yelled, ‘PULL OVER!’

    ‘NO!’ the blonde yelled back, ‘IT’S A SCARF!’

    I had to share this. I thought it was perfect. I also love the turquoise and lime paisley scarf

    Megan says:

    I’m SO glad that you’ve been talking about scarves this winter. I LOVE wearing them and have for a very long time. I always felt silly because no one else thought that they were cool, even though I did. :( Now I’m finally cool – yes!

    I’d totally go for any of the three: plain ol’ white, maroon and tan, or brown and cream. Love them. They’d get tons of use from this scarf-loving girl.

  234. 234
    Jennifer says:

    I love the solid coral pashmina. Thanks!

  235. 235
    Shannon says:

    A little finger nail polish remover will take that sharpie right off. Alcohol might work too and be a little easier on the wood.

  236. 236
    Missy says:

    Oh, it’d be nice to have something other than my one black scarf! I love the Tan and Brown Paisley Scarf!

  237. 237
    Kelly says:

    Houndstooth pink and grey—-love it!

  238. 238

    those scarves are beautiful… I like the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf.

    Are you leaving Caroline’s labeling for posterity, or trying to remove it???

    :o )

    Leslie says:

    I love the maroon and tan scarf. I have a black one and a tan one…I should add a little color in my life.

  240. 240
    Amy says:

    I really like the pink and grey houndstooth scarf.

  241. 241
    Lisa says:

    So sorry about the cedar chest. I told my husband and he said that rubbing alcohol often gets Sharpie off things but he’s not sure what that will do to the finish. He also said there is something that is kind of like a finishing prep (he actually has no idea what it is called and I’m just dictating…) that people use to clean antiques but leaves the finish intact. He suggests calling an antique shop and asking if they know of anything. Good luck!
    And yes, I am one of the bigger fashion nerds and do not even own a scarf. So any would be quite a welcome addition to my wardrobe!

    Becca says:

    I must say, I LOVE reading your blogs! My sister just recently got me hooked…
    I know Alison personally and I’ve boughten a few of my personal favorite scarves here and there and they make GREAT gifts! (my roommate from when I lived in Dallas came up over Christmas break and I brought her to Alison’s house to pick out one she liked…she LOVED them!)
    Any-who! I did want to comment about the wonderful labeling system your daughter came up with. I’m not sure how well it would work on your wood walls, but try rubbing alcohol. I used to work at a small health food store and we would label things and then need to later take off the writing and we used rubbing alcohol!
    Good luck!

  243. 243
    Stephanie says:

    hey big mama! i love reading your blog and i am pretty sure we would be bff’s in “real” life. :)

    i love, LOVE the pink and grey houndstooth and the maroon polka dot one – darling!!!! I love me some scarfs!

    thanks for always brigtening my day with great stories!

  244. 244

    turquoise, fuchsia, coral…how could a girl go wrong?????

    Tori says:

    Love the solid blue pashmina scarf!

  246. 246
    Gina says:

    I love all of them. But my favorites were the orange paisley or the fushia. They seemed so springy to me.

  247. 247

    I’m new to this blog and LOVE it!!! I have recently started adding to my collection of scarves and probably wear one about 3 times a week!! I would LOVE the Pashmina Turquoise Scarf!!!

  248. 248
    leah says:

    My little boy’s 6th birthday is on Monday the 30th! I can’t believe it.
    Anyway, those scarves are darling and I guess I would pick the pink pashmina one. But I seriously don’t think I can pull it off. I would feel so self concious.

  249. 249
    Melissa says:

    You have taught me so much about scarves, I owe all of my scarf wearing to you! Before watching your video, I never knew the right way to wear the scarf! I love the plain brown scarf! Such a cute boutique! Have a great Friday!

  250. 250
    Melissa says:

    PS…for the sharpie…try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser…it works wonders…

  251. 251

    Pashmina Brown Scarf for me, thanks!

  252. 252

    I love the 100% Pashmina Maroon and Tan Scarf!

    Leslie

    Anita says:

    I love boutiques. It makes me feel like I’m buying from a real person and not a monster store. I love the turquoise or blue solid scarves or the blue or rose bubble scarves. Super!

  254. 254
    Kerry says:

    Sooo many choices!! I love the houndstooth pink & gray…thanks for such a great giveaway! :)

  255. 255

    since all moms are multitaskers, our accessories should be, too. Did you know that a scarf/pashmina is a perfect thing to take on a flight in your carry-one? makes for a nice lap blanket so you can avoid using the airline ones that have been used by who-knows-who?!

    BTW–turquoise and lime paisley/floral….or pink and grey houndstooth…..

  256. 256
    Heidi says:

    LOVE the turquoise and lime one!! So great for spring! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  257. 257
    Karen says:

    OMG-a sharpie on wood!!!!

    okay, remain calm-did you try hyrogen peroxide dapped on cotton balls/q-tips to “fade” the words?

    hope you can find a way to get it off

    I don’t get the scarf thing-I wear one for warmth half year outside-that’s it

  258. 258
    Beth says:

    Cute Stuff!
    I love those clutches…
    As for the awesome scarves, I’m loving the pashminas.
    I would love to win the coral or the fuschia. Surprise Me!
    Thanks!

    Lucy says:

    I’m a big fan of the pink and gray houndstooth. Not only is pink my favorite color, but I’m an Alabama fan and am required to love all things houndstooth.

    Pam says:

    Love them all, but would want the tourquoise one! Gorgeous!

  261. 261
    Cheri says:

    Definitely the white pashmina! It’s the “yin” in my “yang” of black for winter and would go with anything in spring/summer.

    I laugh about the “maxi” dresses. They were “invented” while I was a senior in high school and we gals in West Texas (Lubbock) in the Bible Belt REJOICED that something modest (read: something our mothers would let us wear without getting the fifth) was ACTUALLY IN STYLE! But the one woman who voiced concerns over “it looks kinda ugly!” was our MINISTER’S WIFE! But I happily wore my maxi’s until, oh, about 5 years ago when I decided that, even though I’m over 50, I did not want to be mistaken for one of the cast members on Big Love…

    Chelby says:

    I absolutely love scarves! Pashima brown is my favorite!

  263. 263
    Jenn says:

    If you have any Ethanol or Acetone it will take the sharpie right off!!! I can’t be sure if will damage the wood, but I don’t think it will.

    If it were me, I would pick the solid blue pashmina scarf

  264. 264
    Joanna says:

    Oh wow….I LOVE the solid blue pashmina!

  265. 265
    Kara says:

    I love the comfy green scarf! It feels appropriate to be looking at scarves since we just got a foot of snow here in Denver from the Spring Blizzard (as the news is calling it). Have a great road trip!

    Kristy S. says:

    Big Mama–thanks for introducing us to Ali J Boutique! I would love to win the turquoise and lime paisley and floral scarf or the turquoise scarf–I love them both!! They are beautiful!!

    Thanks for the giveaway!!

    i really like the turquoise and lime one (with the brown and tan a close second). thanks for all your great advice…

    Tara says:

    I would need a lesson on what exactly to do with a scarf like that, so if I win you’ll have to come to Minnesota to give me a lesson. ;) I like the purples. Thanks!

  269. 269
    Lindsey Pilgreen says:

    I like the solid brown scarf…I have two black scarves but never one to wear with brown outfits. Also, I love how a giveaway leaves you with almost 300 comments to read through! Good luck!

  270. 270
    Amy says:

    She has some beautiful scarves on her site! My favorite is the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf.

    I’m all about the adorable look of the scarves, but every time I see someone wearing one, it seems like they’re trying to be so fashion forward and trendy. I don’t know if I’m experiencing a little overstatement on the whole scarf thing or what. But I really do like them. I’m conflicted, or indecisive, whatever you want to call it.

  271. 271
    Shana says:

    Either the solid turquoise, white or fuschia pashmina scarves. I’m plain jane like that :)

    I really like the solid gold pashmina! And March 30th just happens to be my birthday- that would be a treat!! Love you blog!!!

  273. 273
    sasha says:

    I must admit, I have a non-love for the maxi dress. Perhaps the fact that it’s a dress that has the word “maxi” in it is the cause. It’s like having the word “fat” in something you’re planning to wear. It’s doubtless that I’d ever purchase a “fat dress.”
    Perhaps it could be made a bit more agreeable with that adorable solid coral pashmina scarf… then again, perhaps even a cute scarf won’t help me to love the maxi dress. I’m fairly confident that though I myself, will never own a maxi dress, the possibility of owning a cute scarf is something that I could forsee in the fashion future…

    Robin says:

    I just found your website last week…what a kick in the pants! Thank you for Fashion Fridays. I need all the help I can get!! The scarves are all beautiful. I would choose the Turquoise and Lime Paisley or the gold. They all look yummy!

  275. 275

    Oooh, I like the light olive and gray bubble scarf.

  276. 276
    Gina says:

    I am all over the Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina.

    And I must say, I think the maxi dress trend is going to be sparking quite a few “What Not to Wear” moments this summer…

  277. 277
    Deanna says:

    What cool scarfs. I really the Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream and the Maroon and Tan Scarf!

  278. 278
    Steph says:

    how could you not love the pink and grey houndstooth?!? I normally don’t go for light pinks, but that scarf is SO adorable!

    your fashion fridays are the best…and I totally get the fashion fast. I’m on one for budget constraints, but it’s so hard with all the super cute styles this spring!

    I love the reverse bubble brown and cream pashmina scarf. My husband and I are going to Jamaica for our 15th wedding anniversary. That scarf would be a great wrap for a dress that I am planning to wear for dinner one night! I love your blog.

  281. 281
    Patty says:

    Oh no…your beautiful cedar closet now has permanent marker on it…at least its a great memory of how it got there in the first place! And I love all the scarves but can we just say how beautiful the Teal Scarf is!?

    Happy Friday!

  282. 282

    I love the pahmina teal scarf. What a fabulous color!!

    thanks for all the fashion friday tips – I always look forward to them.

    I love Fashion Fridays! I have been a scarf fanatic for several years now, but for once in my life I feel like I’m in-vogue and up on a trend! Thanks to you & Angie I wear my scarves w/ pride! And I adore the Bubble Reversible Light Blue & White Pashmina — so cute & quirky and you certainly can’t buy something like that at Walmart…:-)

    I know Ali J and got the reversible blue/white bubble scarf as a gift from my sister-in-law! Fun!!

    Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! It really is magic and I’ve gotten permanent marker off of the wall with it before–not sure about cedar.

    I’d probably go brown or teal. Beautiful scarves!

  292. 292
    Jill says:

    Rubbing alcohol works wonders on removing sharpie from wook and leather. If you ever have to use it on leather don’t rub it just pat. My pre-schooler loves to steal sharpies and draw on anything she comes across.

  293. 293
    Andrea says:

    I really like the teal or houndstooth pink scarves. Beautiful!

  294. 294
    Brae says:

    Here’s a shout-out for that little turquoise and orange number! I am, by the way, a big fan of the maxi. I consider them a feminine form of camouflage, capable of covering a multitude of sins, like a man’s suit or even glitter. But then I am old and large, and have forsaken style for practicality; looking at clothing less in terms of style setting and more in terms of defensive strategy. One more thing – don’t get rid of Caroline’s labeling system. One day they will trigger the fondest of memories.

  295. 295

    I would love the Teal scarf! A color that works great with redheads!

    As for the maxi-dress… I saw a tourist at work wearing a floor length, jersey knit dress. But unfortunately, it was a little too snug – not so “maxi”. It was so snug that I could tell she bought her panties at Victoria’s Secret. How? Because I could clearly read the work “PINK” across her tush.

  296. 296
    Becca says:

    I really love the ombre accordion scarves. Particularly the yellow. But really all the colors make me feel happy.

    And I would just like to tell you how much i look forward to your fashion friday posts. Thanks for all the time you put into them! :-)

    I love all of them, especially anything in “rose”. I love my pinks.

    (Last Friday, I asked if I was too late for the scarf trend and you and another one gave me such great support, that I went out and found one in beutiful shades of pumpkin. Best yet, it was 25% off and I had another 20% coupon! Thanks!)

    the 100% pashmina teal scarf, please. : )

    and, by the way, i made the creamy pork tenderloin last night. but i had to substitute chicken breast for the pork…and thyme instead of the rosemary. you see, we had a blizzard here in denver yesterday. and necessity is the mother of substitution. or something like that. anyway, it was lovely. and my husband would like to marry me all over again! : ) thanks for the recipe!

    Kacey says:

    Yours is my first blog of every morning. It give me a smile everyday. As far as the maxi dress, I just bought one- I am going to Mexico in a month and thought it would be a great dress to walk around in- not sure where I will where it afterwards- I will let you know.
    The scarves are all so pretty but my choice would be the Turquoise/orange number so unique.

    Sorry about your closet. At least it’s not out in a public part of your house. When he was little, my younger brother carved his name in our family’s piano. We have to leave sheet music out to cover it!

    Emmilee says:

    I would love the Solid Blue Pashmina Scarf– so simple and basic, it could accessorize any number of things.

  313. 313
    Jennifer C says:

    I would probably go with the brown and tan bubble, although I have never actually worn a scarf. I am not exactly fashionable.
    I think it has been mentioned by try the Mr. Clean magic eraser on the closet, you would be surprised what that thing can get clean.

  314. 314
    Kim says:

    oh my! those scarves are beautiful! i’m a huge fan of the scarf and wear one almost daily. i’ve got quite a collection, but LOVE that solid blue pashmina. it’s the perfect color and pashmina is so soft!

  315. 315
    Rechelle says:

    I was so impressed with her scarves! and the prices were so reasonable! I’m in love with the pashmina turquoise and orange paisley scarf- but then I could easily be in love with many of them-

    Just discovered scarfs. Can’t wait to begin adding them to my wardrobe! I love the Solid Coral Pashmina Scarf or Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina!

    Mommara says:

    I love the White Pashmina Scarf. This summer with a tan I think it would be beautiful.

    I once did a similar thing in my parents old house. Hidden behind my bed was some drawings of our house. My mom actually ripped off the wall paper to take it with them when they moved. I am a 28 yr old mother myself. She has it framed in her office. Kinda cute. But, yay for a mini fashionista in training!

    Have a great Friday !!

    Please pick me! I really need a scarf! I’d have a very hard time chosing, but I think I’d go with the 100% Pashmina Tan and Brown Paisley Scarf, or maybe the Solid Blue Pashmina Scarf, or possibly the Bubble Reversible Light Blue and White Pashmina. Definately hard to choose!

  323. 323

    Mr Clean Magic Erasers work wonders on sharpie marks!! My two year old daughter decided to draw momma and daddy a picture on our walls with one. The magic erasers worked wonders on it.

    Mel, I LOVE the bubble designs ones- maybe the light olive?

    But let’s be honest. If I win, I’m totally making you pick out my scarf because I lack the trendy gene.

    And trendy jeans.

    I love the houndstooth grey and pink scarf. It’s preppy and boho at the same time. (Admittedly, I was trying to think of a way to combine those words, but Prep-Ho just didn’t have an adequate amount of…appropriateness. :) )

    Ooooo, which to choose??? They were all great but I really love the coral zigzag and the solid blue.
    By the way, loved the Caroline story :) …and it seems you were able to see humor in it and not freak out too much. I’m hoping my 5 yr old doesn’t get the same notion my sister and I did…we carved our names into our dresser drawers with a phillips head screwdriver — My first and only attempt at graffitti.

    Loved them all, but my favorites were the white, the brown, and the solid gold. The patterns were beautiful too, but I’m a solid kind of gal I guess. Hmmm….I think I will go with the ever-versatile gold.

    Thanks for the contest, and the many laughs along the way!

    Sara says:

    I love reading your blog! It always makes me laugh. I would pick the pink and gray houndstooth scarf!

    Farmer Gal says:

    I like almost all of them, but the one I would choose is the ‘Blue Accordian Ombre’ scarf.

    Tabitha says:

    I know it sounds boring compared to all the other gorgeous scarves, but I would love the 100% Pashmina Black Scarf- I have the perfect outfit that NEEDS this scarf.

    Thanks! Love your blog!

    I am sooooo bummed that you are not going to be doing a post on a strapless bra that actually works. If you haven’t found one I guess there’s no hope for me…

    I love the turquoise scarf!

    Sara says:

    Those are really beautiful! I’ll take the turquoise or teal. Pretty please?

    All about the “Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina.” The cutest thing ever. However, I love the pink (maroon) and tan bubble one, as well. And ALL of the others. Yikes!!!

    Anyways, thanks for the awesome giveaway! A girl can’t ever have too many scarves!

    I love all the accoridan ombre’ ones. I’m so excited. I hope I win, but even if I don’t, I’ll be placing an order. Also, the maxi dress is soooooo not for hot and humid days in Georgia!

    Rebecca says:

    I love love love them all….especially the pashmina ones!

  356. 356
    Jennifer says:

    It’s a toss up between the teal and the orange. Except that I’d probably look horrible in the orange so I guess it’s the TEAL!

    Have you tried magic eraser on the marker? My lovely son went through the entire house with hot pink sharpie the day before our open house. Ugh. I tried hair spray, rubbing alcohol, and finally the magic eraser. I was able to get it off everything but the plastic toy kitchen (ps, hard to blame something on your little sister when you actually write your own name on it!) Good luck!

    And what’s up with the closed toe shoes these? How did these male coworkers even *notice* their shoes?

    Wow. Over 350 comments for scarves and it isn’t even noon yet. We got some people here who want a dang scarf.
    One of those people would be me. I like the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf, but they really are all beautiful.
    Oh, and I added myself to Mr. Linky by accident. Sorry.

    edj says:

    LOVE these scarves! This year I really got into scarves because I (a) am very fashionable and (b) was freezing here in this surprisingly cold and damp place with no indoor heating. I like the plain black one a lot, but I also love that turquoise-lime combo. Also the maroon and tan. Oh, and the purple-orange one. Sigh. Don’t worry if you pick me–I promise to be decisive.

    Cody Jean says:

    Eeks! Caroline did a lovley job labeling. :)

    Ooooh! I like the “Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina” scarf.

    Although, I was trying to be all cool the other day at work with a scarf when one of my (male) students asked me why I was still wearing a scarf inside as it didn’t seem that cold. So, I explained to him that I was being fashionable and he did not give me a look back that indicated agreement…

    LOL about Mrs. Roper–that is a blast from the past!

    I would LOVE to win the Lime with Subtle Zebra or the bright Fushia or the Orange and purple. Any of these would go great with the bias multi-striped top and brown bubble skirt I have for Easter. May have to e-shop if I don’t win.

    Happy Friday, Jill

    Nate's Mom says:

    Regarding the CEDAR CLOSET? Get you some sand paper and rub horizontally and I’m thinking you can get that writing off. My daddy told me to do that to the cedar closet he built for us, to keep the scent fresh and activated. He told me that 12 years ago. I haven’t done it yet. Hhmmm.

    WendyB says:

    I’m so enjoying your site! I, too, have one daughter, though she has (completely without permission, I might add) grown up and gone to college without me. The nerve.

    I love the solid blue pashmina scarf, as because of that pesky excess baby weight (yes, I KNOW she’s 19) I wear a lot of black, and that blue would just make it POP. Or hide more of the food baby.

  412. 412
    Carrie says:

    They are all so beautiful, I would be happy with any of them! But the coral colored one is jumping out at me. I know Angie has claimed this as the “year of the scarf”, but I have to say, as a resident of Chicago, the thought of wearing a scarf in warmer weather (even if it’s fashionable) isn’t all that appealing. I mean, we wear them for warmth 6 months out of the year as it is! I look forward to the days I don’t need to put on a scarf, gloves, hat, etc. I’m still waiting for that day, by the way. Probably won’t come until about June :) PS. Love your blog!

  413. 413

    I think I’m in love with the Pashmina tan and Brown Paisley Scarf. Oh, how I LOVE scarves!!

    I’m a huge fan of the tourquoise…basically I love scarfs like these because they work as a blanket/coat/accessory/everything. Wonderful.

    Emily says:

    I’m trying to make coral my new color (just discovered that I don’t look half-bad in it!), so I’m going to have to go with the gorgeous solid coral scarf.

    I soooo want one of her peace sign scarves!!!!!

    I had fun today with your fashion post and mine on shoes too. Hope you like it!!!

    Laura says:

    If you’re interested in trying to get the marker off of the cedar, you might want to try Avon’s Skin So Soft oil. I used it on Sharpie marker (on our card table) and it took the marker off, with just a little bit of scrubbing with a soft cloth. Just be careful; it has to be the oil, not the lotion. :)

  425. 425
    Gina says:

    Call me a wild woman but I like the sheer leopard print. The turquiose is beautiful too.

    hint for sharpie on cedar: try a dab of soft scrub on a cloth and scrub gently.

    Tammy says:

    I love them all. I live in Europe, and we really love to wear our scarves here! It’s cold in Ukraine & scarves are a must not just for fashion, but for warmth, too. I would choose (if I must only choose 1) the Pashmina Orange & Purple Paisley Scarf BECAUSE I have an orange car & it would look great to have that scarf on in the car! I need to buy a new winter coat next year, so could buy my coat to match! Sounds perfect!

    Chelsea says:

    I’m sure somebody has already mentioned this, but I’m not about to read 430 comments.

    Regarding the closet: Sandpaper. It’ll remove the Sharpie and, as an added bonus, will refresh that yummy cedar scent.

    Regarding the giveaway: I love the Pashmina Solid Gold scarf. It’s lovely!

  432. 432
    delaina says:

    First I love you taste in shoes.. I would like to own them all…
    and the scarf – I liked the tan/maroon pashima with the bubbles on it and the green, 2-toned accordian. Im not sure which was my favorite – but id probably go with the bubble one jsut cause I love that color of pink!

  433. 433
    Jeni says:

    The green with the subtle zebra print is amazing!!

    You could try using sandpaper to remove the Sharpie!

    Good luck! :)

    Hard decision. The solid coral one would be great! thanks.

  439. 439

    Oh bless your heart. I’m thinking that soon I will have to put our Sharpie in a lock box.

    Those scarves totally rock. With all the testerone in this house, I’d love to win the Houndstooth Scarf in Pink & Grey. So classic and would allow me to feel feminie with all these boys around.

    And yes, as much as I hate to admit it I see some of myself in my son and it isn’t always the good points. God has a good sense of humor and way of teaching us.

    They are all so pretty, it’s hard to decide. The Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina is gorgeous and would go with my coat. The purple and orange paisley would not, although I could always buy another coat!

    Melinda says:

    Is the 451st comment a bad time to discuss something important? Because I have recently been bombarded with infomercials on bumpits, plastic hair inserts that fire flashing imgages of 1993′s Coneheads to my brain. Nobody should pay for these. I’m particularly worried because if people get used to wearing the more innocent regulars and minis, they might try on the hollywood bumpit on a whim, and then we’re all in trouble. Here’s the link:
    http://www.bighappiehair.com/
    Noice their company name. uh huh…Big Happie Hair. I think next week’s Fashion Friday should be solely devoted to discouraging the bumpit. :)
    oooh…and I love the houndstooth pink and grey scarf! :)

  457. 457
    Alison says:

    They are all so pretty! I’m going to say the turquoise or the fuschia one.

    I am loving the scarf trend, but here is the thing…How in the world are us Texas girls expected to wear one when it is 106 degrees here from April-October. Okay not really, but I know you know what I am talking about here. Do you wear them when it is hot out?

  463. 463

    I really love all of them but the Bubble Reversible Light Blue and White Pashmina is my favorite!

  464. 464
    Diane Kuffler says:

    I love, love, LOVE reading your blog. Some of your posts make me thing we’d be two peas-in-a-pod. :o )

    You are right about the scarves… they are yummy! If the stars aligned and by some celestial miracle I won the giveaway, I’d go for the 1221 yello ombre accordian scarf… it’s heavenly!

    Thanks for the entertainment (and the giveaway)!

    PS… good luck with the sharpie vs cedar chest situation… yikes!

    I am in love with the “Plum and Rose Reversible Bubble Print Pashmina Scarf”

    You are so talented and fun! Something to try on the cedar chest: Write over the permanent marker with Dry Erase marker. That might take it off. (It works in my office when people write where they aren’t supposed to with markers that are, well, permanent!!)

    I once got a large black sharpie scribble out of wooden closets with hairspray. Use the cheap stuff, though.

    Lovely, lovely scarves. Something about the turquoise and lime paisley appeals to me……

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    Have I told you I love your blog?! I love the pink and grey houndstooth, but like the orange too. (honestly I loved them all) gonna go back and check out the website some more!

    BTW-target has had some fun colors too. I bought a green one and a hot pink one(since hot pink is back in this spring-who knew?) They were 12 bucks not bad. I have seen them in airports for $10 too lately.

    Item# 1183 that is the one I want. I know I am going to win because I win sooooo much. lol

    I have a fashion question dealing with the maxi dress which I just found out today what it was….I am almost 6 feet tall so I can pull of the length but I have pretty large hips, do you think I could wear one?

    I must say, after reading your blog, I have been OBSESSED with finding a scarf…but I too am on shopping restriction. =( I did find a nice (and by nice, I mean cheap) scarf on clearance at WalMart for $2.00 – because I’m thrifty like that. I would love to have a plain brown or black scarf…those weren’t on clearance at WalMart!! ha!

    Hard to choose just one, but I think I’d go with the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral pashmina scarf. So beautiful!

    The maroon and tan or the turquoise and lime would make my little heart happy. :)

    I love the look of maxi dresses but being the short asian girl, it does not work well on me.

    This is a brave thought (for me), but I am thinking maybe I could pull off the lime pashmina with subtle zebra print scarf. Maybe it is wishful thinking, but that is the one I like! I am sorry to hear about your cedar chest. I banned Sharpies from my home after what has become known as the “couch incident.”

    Most definitely the Houndstooth. Being a “Bama” girl, I love anything Houndstooth.

    Kathy M says:

    I think my fave is the turquoise scarf. It would look great with a pair of jeans and a crisp white shirt.

    On another note…you might want to try a Magic Eraser on the Sharpie “labels.” My 3-year-old did a “Monet” on my coffee table and since it was ruined anyway, I thought I’d give ithe Magic Eraser a try. It did dull the wood a little, but no one notices except me and there is absolutely no trace of the Sharpie. Good Luck! I hope it works for you.

    Melissa says:

    I like the plain colored Pashmina scarves, to actually pick a color will take me awhile since I would have to decide which one would go best with about every single shirt I own. I am not only indecisive, but also cheap.

  538. 538

    Try using a dry erase marker over the sharpie. It dissolves the “permanent” ink so both can be erased. This works best if the surface is not too porous.
    Oh yeah, and I’m loving the turquoise pashmina.

    Oh oh oh–I love the fuchia (spelling?) one! I never wore anything remotely like pink as a kid (and even though I still don’t have fashion sense) I am now adding pink in as often as I can.

    As a Jewelry Lady, I am always looking for fashion tips and awesome fashion accessories. I love your blog and find it very entertaining. I loved all of the scarves.

    Emmie says:

    I’d like the white or coral pashmina, thanks!

    And I’ll beg to differ with you about needing to be tall to carry off the maxi look – my niece, an adorable petite thing, wore one last summer to a wedding shower we threw for her and looked fabulous! It’s more about being slender than tall I think.

    So hard to choose! I think I”m leaning toward the tan and brown paisley. They are beautiful!

  560. 560
    Donna says:

    I have embraced the scarf accessory. I love all of these…but, if I HAD to choose just one, it would be the Pashima Maroon and Tan scarf! WooHoo! Hope I win, because I would be happy with any of them!

    Cheri M. says:

    If I won, I would probably pick a solid color, either white, black, brown or orange. They are so cute. Still lauging from today’s post. My 4 kids have ALL done something similar. No sharpies in the house till all the kids reach age 18.

  564. 564

    Oh my, that maroon and tan scarf must come and live at my house.
    Please pick me or I just might have to beg my husband to let me “hold” the credit card for a minute or two!
    Thanks!!

    Julianne says:

    Oh my. I just started a new job YESTERDAY with Mercy Ministries (www.mercyministries.com) and I am out and about in the community. Would the Bubble Reversible Brown and Cream Pashmina not be perfect? Love it.

    And what is it about kids and Sharpie markers?

  566. 566
    Valerie says:

    I love the orange paisley pashmina. So cute, though I have no idea of what I’d wear it with!

  567. 567
    Nancy says:

    I love the lime zebra scarf . . .

    And I just have to say that the maxi dress is probably out for me with my busty/hippy figure — I think it would look like a really long maternity shirt. Not a look I’m striving for.

  568. 568
    Jan says:

    I think the lime scarf with the subtle zebra print would be really great for spring! I just learned a new way to tie my scarf today and I’m excited to add to my collection!

    Cynthia Maynard says:

    I like the turquoise accordion ombre scarf. Because how many times do you ever see “accordion” and “ombre” in the same sentence? I finally actually bought 2 scarves last week, after (1) I realized that the scarves I had leftover from the 80s did NOT work in the new millennium and (2) my 20-something daughter helped me arrange it so that it looked nice.

  570. 570

    You aren’t kidding – those are ALL cute!! I liked them all. I got it down to the maroon and tan or the brown and tan.

    Michelle says:

    I love your blog – your sense of humor makes me chuckle every time I read. You always find the CUTEST things for fashion Friday! I never win anything but if I did I love the yellow bubble pashmina and the orange pashmia one at the end. Have a great road trip with C!

    Kate says:

    Hi! Linked to your site from Pioneer Woman 2 weeks ago and have visited nearly every day since – I love your writing and get a laugh every time.

    I nearly chose blue, but the final call is the solid gold pashmina, because it’ll go with multiple coats and most of my closet. :)

    Have a fantastic weekend!

  578. 578
    Jenny says:

    I love the black pashmina, but also the reversable bubble prints, especially the mocha-ish one.

  579. 579
    Melissa says:

    Ok, that was hard to choose, and I’m not sure which one I love more the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Scarf or the pink and grey houndstooth. That’s a tough one.

  587. 587

    turqouise and lime paisley…no question about that {and I usually revert to eenie meenie minie mo}

    What is this “closed-toe policy”…that’s just blasphemous in the south.

    Emily says:

    I rebelled against pink in high school, and now I have made up for it. I’m on such a hot pink kick right now, so I’d go for the fuschia one. I think she watched your video on scarf tying lessons. I love it!

    I lust for the brown pashmina! Wedding next weekend for my dearest friend; outfit all picked out, suddenly winter makes a reappearance.

    My beautiful red hair 17 year old Grandaughter has just started wearing scarfs and enjoying the fashion style. The turguouse and lime Paisley Floral Pashmina is very soft looking and
    has class.

    I would chose it for myself or the teen.

    Thanks for offering the beautiful site and I intend to shop for some of the beautiful fashion.

    Well, if you have to be tall, I’ll never be able to wear a maxi dress. And for the record, I don’t think there is ever any clothes that are here to stay… except maybe socks and underwear.

    Ok- I found you through PW and your life is a mirror to mine. My first time to read your blog was just a few days ago and when you wrote about Pathwords, I thought I was going to pass out. I’ve been an addict for about 6 months. I can’t stand for ANYONE to beat me and stay up countless nights attempting to surpass those who apparently got lucky b/c they couldn’t possibly be smarter than I.

    Well, soul sister- thanks for you blog. It’s a great read with all the right amounts a sarcasm.

    Oh- on that note- my favorite bumper stickers is this:
    “My soul was removed to make room for all this sarcasm”.
    Now, I don’t do bumper stickers, but if I did, this would be front and center.

    Laurie says:

    Those are lovely scarves and very reasonably priced too! I would love any of them but probably I would like the pink bubble one (the first one shown, not the one with the plum) or just the plain fuschia one best. Enjoy your weekend!

  614. 614

    I currently live in Texas, but I’m moving to Virginia and hoping to add to my scarf collection!! I like the white pashmina the best! :)

    I love how all the lurkers magically appear on give-aways. I like the Rose Accordion Ombre. Or the turquoise. Beautiful!

    I love, love, love the brown and cream bubble scarf! Not to mention that it is just fun to use “bubble” and “scarf” in the same sentence.

    Minnesotamom says:

    I always have a kick for green in the spring, so the lime pashmina (with subtle zebra print) would go swimmingly with a lot of my clothes. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    I LOVE the white one. . . I know I’m boring but I love white! The reversable polka-dotted ones are cute too (in all the colors:)

    LOVE fashion friday and just yesterday I rewatched the scarf video to remember a different way to wear my scarf!

  623. 623
    Beth says:

    I’d have to choose the Lime scarf with the subtle zebra pattern. The green is very close to one of my school colors. I could wear it every Friday, on Spirit day.

    Love your website, found it when I googled “BigMama” which is my daughters’ nickname for me.

    Krysia says:

    I like the white peace sign scarf. I love to wear scarves with sheer t-shirts. It adds a little something fun. If I got the peace sign scarf, my 11 year old daughter would steal it and tell me I am too old to wear it! I love the way you write. I got your site from the pioneer woman! Thank you for making me smile each day!

    Oh..I just love a good scarf! Being a Texas girl you never know what the weather will be from day to day….yesterday it was warm and humid, today freezing with snow flurries. The pink and grey houndstooth is to die for.
    Love it!

    How thoughtful of Caroline to create a way for you to always remember the day she understood seasonal fashion!

    I wasn’t sure if the giveaway was from the “regular” scarves or the pashmina scarves. I love the “Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral” or the “Houndstooth in Pink and Grey” from the pashmina selection and from the “regular” scarves I like the 2 tone accordion green! Thanks for sharing the link to the shop & the giveaway!

    Coral or Lime Pashmina with Subtle Zebra Print. Thanks!!!

  642. 642

    So maxis are back again? The last time I remember hearing this terminology was sometime around 1977, this is great news! I might actually be able to buy one of these dresses & it would be long enough for me with my extra long legs.

    Oh, and I’d love to win that lime pashmina too, how cute is that!

  643. 643

    And if I do happen to be lucky & win, I’m going to the beach on Monday & will not return until Wed., no computer access either. So please don’t give away my prize if you can’t find me. I mean, I just might get lucky!

    Jessica says:

    Dear Big Mama,

    I love your blog. Although this is the first time I’ve commented. I love me some scarves. It’s been the year of the scarf for me since 2002. I would love the Turquoise and Lime Paisley and Floral Pashmina Scarf or just the plain turquoise pashmina scarf would be nice too.

    Thank you for Fashion Fridays

    Jessica

    melissa says:

    I love your fashion Fridays! They have inspired me to be a little more creative with my dull mommy wardrobe.

    And as for the scarfs, I like the coral pashmina. Or the lime one would be nice too! I need a little more color in my wardrobe.

  646. 646
    Chelle' says:

    Orange Pashmina… by far the most amazing scarf I’ve seen this year.

    Also- Orange accents are all the rage this spring!! :-)

  647. 647
    Sarah says:

    Since I am hopelessly devoted to the plain t-shirt with jeans, I am loving scarves this year… so I’m pretty sure I could close my eyes and point to a scarf and be happy with it.

    But if you held me at gunpoint and made me pick, I’d love that bubble reversible orange and brown pashmina. Because honestly, my school colors in high school were orange and brown, and I thought I’d never see a single fashionable item in those colors. And I was wrong. Unbelievable!

  648. 648
    MH says:

    The lime pashmina with the zebra. My daughter would love this…I’ll be glad to keep it for a year for myself!

    Susan A says:

    Loving some scarf color so I am very partial to the coral or lime pashmina. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    I so understand Caroline’s need to label things with the sharpie! When I was wee like Miss C. I wrote on EVERYTHING with markers, pens, crayons…any writing instrument I could find! Was always in hot water for writing on something! HIDE those markers…nothing is safe!

    Quincy says:

    The lime with the subtle zebra print, for a friend, it reminds me of her. She loves green and needs a gift right now!

  657. 657
    Julie says:

    Since I’m new to scarf-wearing, I think I’d prefer a solid color scarf. The teal, blue, and coral would add a lovely splash of color against black.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    Kiy says:

    I am not really a scarp gal, so this isn’t an entry to your (very awesome) drawing. I just wanted to comment on your first few paragraphs. It is scary, how much our kids are like us. Scarier yet? My daughter and I share no DNA and yet, she is becoming me more and more every day. Nature or nurture? In our house, it’s nurture all the way! DH keeps begging me to nurture just a little bit less … seems my OCD issues are catching!

    Cheers, Kiy

    So, I’ve been following you and Angie with the scarf videos for a while now! I TOTALLY 100% support that 2009 is the “The Year of the Scarf!” I am a self-confessed scarf addict! I wear one almost EVERY day to work. Aside from the fact that they are just so darn cute, they do add a bit of warmth in my cold classroom at school everyday. My students even comment on my scarves now!

    I love the just plain solid blue pashmina scarf. Great color to wear with any solids!

  668. 668
    Amber says:

    I absolutely adore the coral pashmina. I’ve been wearing these things non-stop this winter!

  669. 669

    I like #1183, the turquoise and lime paisley/floral one or the turquoise accordian one, but they’re all beautiful!

    oh my word! thank you for letting us know about ali j.
    i am a green person and wax rhapsodic over the baby green leaves budding everywhere right now. so her “lime green with subtle zebra stripes” gave me shivers. it just announces spring is here, doesn’t it?

  683. 683
    lisa says:

    no entry here, just a ps – magic eraser helps, even on cedar. hope it succeeds. and try lightly sanding your cedar closet walls with fine grit sandpaper, once every couple of years. opens the pores and is good for minimizing any “accidental” marks. i have 3 daughters :)

    I have enjoyed several winterish scarves – for the new season I would die for the coral zigzag or the turquoise circle scarf – please pick me!

    Kathryn says:

    I am a scarf person, through and through! I love the maroon and tan scarf. Since I wear alot of black for work, this would be soooooo pretty in breaking up the black! Oh, and it would look fabulous with the new yellow jacket I purchased for the Spring! Thanks for the giveaway!

    angel says:

    Oh my goodness! So many absolutely gorgeous choices, how does one choose just one!?!?! I think the gold is perfect for Spring, would go with anything and then march itself right into Fall. But, that orange paisley and brown and purple houndstooth are amazing . . . and of course the simple brown, oh how I love brown . . . oh how I would love to win any of them!!!

  703. 703

    They’re all gorgeous, but I think I’ll go with the turquoise or the teal… FUN!

    Diana says:

    Try a little hairspray, it does get ink out and may work on the marker, it may damage a finish though so you have to decide which will offend you more… or keep it as a memory. I wrote my alphabet down the sill of our front window and it remained there for 25 years till my husband and I replaced the wondows 10 years after buying the house…

    oh! I love the two-tone green one. What fun. Hope the scarf craze hangs around for awhile…not because I’m all that trendy but as there’s so many pretty ones around to choose from! I like the fact that you can add color around your face AND if you’re out when a chilly little wind rises, you can lift up that lovely scarf, cover your ears and protect your hair. Thanks!

    Have to say, I have always been a closet scarf person….I have scarfs all the way back to the 90′s….you know the ones, square, folded in half, then draped over your shoulder and tucked into your waistline…oy. I LOVE, LOVE the 100% Pashmina Turquoise and Orange Paisley Scarf…especially since Turquoise is so in this year. Love to win that scarf…Thanks for doing the give-away. ~K
