the description: “Ever wish you could just wrap yourself in a plush blanket scarf and pronounce it a look? Well, hello! This pale grey top is crafted with shawl-like wrap styling and features pleats at the shoulder and a crisscross bottom. But unlike your winter scarf, the lavishly soft piece has full-length sleeves.”
my reality:
i do love how comfortable and cozy
this ‘plush blanket scarf’ looks
yet
i wonder
if i can master
(the shawl, wrap, pleats, crisscross features)
and put it on
without getting all tangled up in it
which would not be
a good look
or quite as comfortable.

I love the look and it is probably easier than you think. Just put your arms in the arm holes and if the front is flat, you have it on backwards.

I’ve never done well with close that wrap and twirl and that have expectations of me getting in the middle of it, emerging with ‘a look.’ )

I will never worry about getting that wrapped on me correctly because, while I love the look, the first words that came to my mind were “too hot!”. Another new look is apparently wearing your watch on top of your sleeve???

This reminds me of figuring out a medical gown. Thankfully I have little experience with them, but I always stare at them for a few seconds before proceeding. I think that the “plush blanket scarf” should definitely come with instructions.

It does! I wrote about the craziest medical gown situation that I’ve ever had a while back. The docs decided in a new style what would adapt to all sizes and it was a flat gown with around 1,000 tiny snaps and you had to assemble it. My doc was laughing so hard when she came in and saw what I was wearing and said it should a cognitive test )
