FASHION HUMOR
How Did I Become A Scarf Girl?
It’s a long, fuzzy slope from normal person to scarf addict.
I guess the seeds were planted long ago.
In junior high, we all wore these weird, skinny scarves that had knots tied in the ends. We wore them year round. They weren’t for warmth, they were just fashion accessories, on top of the ubiquitous vests, popped-collar Polo shirts and tall Valley Girl hair we all wore.
The ‘80s were a dark time in fashion.
The closest I got to a real scarf back then was an eight-foot-long Dr. Who scarf I tried to knit out of orange yarn.
I think I still have it somewhere — it’s not pretty. Geek memorabilia never is.
As an adult, I bought one functional scarf from Fin Feather Fur (they should just call it Dead Animals) which was way too short and basically useless except as a small shoulder warmer.
Here’s a review of my local Fin Feather Fur from user Reality TV Shopping:
I can say that I’ve been here a lot and spent a lot of money. I can also say the staff is arrogant, chatty (with each other),and borderline rude when it comes time to check out. I’m a grown man, I don’t like being fake…
