No Scarf Problems For Us This Week, You Guys

thumbnail icon: No Scarf Problems For Us This Week, You Guys

Woof. First thing Monday morning, am I right? Sometimes I need a weekend just to recover from my weekend! But this week is going to be different. We're going to be jumping out of bed every morning this week, ready to attack the day. No more sluggish resistance from us, no more dragging our feet and wishing we could stay on dream mountain. Because this week we are going to be focused. The petty distractions of our daily lives are going to be removed from our way, and we are going to spend our time doing the things that matter. You see, we are going to be looking good in our scarves. I read once that Albert Einstein wore the same suit every day. That way he didn't have to spend any time in the morning worrying about what to wear, and he could devote that brain power to important things, like science (he was a scientist, FYI). It might not have been Einstein. The idea is the same, though. You get it. But what about people like us? We can't just wear the same suit every day. It is 2003! Do you even know how many ways there are to fashion a scarf?

Don't worry about it! Not anymore, at least. This video has got us covered. Our scarves are going to be looking so good. Einstein, or another apocryphal genius, is a dinosaur.

Hot tip: clips, clips, glorious clips. (Via EverythingIsTerrible.)

MacGyver once defused a bomb and then cooked a four-course meal using nothing but a scarf and a clip.

This is all fine and good if you're wearing a scarf, but what am I going to do with my Elizabethan ruff?

Forgive me, I know we JUST went over this but I am a slow learner. I just want to make sure I am getting this right because I too want to be in TV commercials and fashion magazines. Its wrap-a-head + pleat-a-bow + scarf-a-clip + oblong bow + clip-a-bib + ass hot + big blow + choke-a-bitch X glorious clips = career woman?

Great... Got It!

haha, it only took one quick review to make sure I didn't miss any gems. However we have "oblong bow" and the confused "big blow" thanks to said review.

Are you going to jump out of bed every morning focused since you're older now? You're what, 78 years old now? Happy Birthday, Gabe.

Ben (waiting for the perfect GIF)

Einstein Also (apparently) wasn't into wearing socks. Like ever. I think he was just a slob.

"Hot tip: Take a square and fold it into a triangle. Tie it bandit style over your nose. Apply 4 golden clips in a teeth-like pattern to the front of your bandit-scarf. Voila."

No better way to accessorize your shoes, than with a scarf clip!

having flashbacks of my mother in the 90's... off to work in her boxy powersuits, complete with shoulder pads, skirt down to her shins. of course the outfit was finished off with flesh colored tights, square toe pumps (The kind you can play basketball in), and one of 800 glorious scarves... come to think of it, i'm pretty sure that's still what she wears to work. bless her heart.

If you are French and you are wearing a scarf under false religious pretenses, the Ark of the Covenant might make your head explode unless you close your eyes, and yet she only blinks four times in two minutes: I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ARE THE CLIPS SOMEHOW PROTECTING YOU?
