scarf.

after a busy day at work i decided to unwind at the mall. unwind. on dec 9. at the mall. what?

so, i'm at american apparel and i'm trying to weed through all of the pornoriffic posters they have in order to get to the inifinty scarf. and there it is. on the wall, staring down at me. challenging me. and so i accept this challenge. i purchased one super sheer circle scarf in see thru athletic grey for $37. (of course it's see thru... it's effing sheer. super sheer.) but why did i purchase a scarf, you ask. you live in florida, you insist. well, the reason is that i am hopping across the pond this friday to a magical land known as great britain. and i plan on having a smashing good time. i don't want to be cold so i definitely need a bloody fantastic scarf to keep me warm. and so we have the super sheer circle scarf in see thru athletic grey. brilliant.

but $37? ahh... money well spent if you ask me. this scarf is advertised as being multi-functional. according to american apparel it can be a basic scarf, a doubled scarf, a doubled scarf with hood, a figure 8 top, a one-shoulder dress, a layered belted mini (belt not included), a hooded shawl, a capelet, a layered swinging mini, a head wrap (for erykah badu), a layered knee-length skirt, a scarf with hood, and a shawl. for many of these options, you probably need some kind of a degree in scarfology. i, however, am not a licensed scarfologist and did manage to get stuck in the scarf a few times.

please understand that this scarf, when opened, is bigger than a giant snuggie. in fact, it could BE a snuggie. a snarfy, if you will. without fail, i know this could also be a superman cape, a bed sheet, a giant carry all for catching skittles from the sky when some creepy pixie demands that you taste the rainbow, a burka perhaps, a papouse even. wtf is a papouse? apparently it's one of those hippie baby carrying body wraps.

whatever you use it as, one thing is for sure... you will never get tired of it. i have thoroughly entertained myself with this scarf for the past 2 hours and i have yet to leave my house with it on.

need one? get it: http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa0503burn.html

if i get the chance, i'll upload a picture of me trying to figure this thing out.

until then... pip pip. cheerio.
