here we go!

SO! here is my first post about a scarf. this is my newest purchased scarf (the one i'm wearing, not lindsey's), from a new fave store, Madewell. it's called the Moroccan scarf, mainly because of the brilliant colors and pattern. it feels very tapestry-y, and is huge (which i love!) so i just triangle wrap it once, tie it like a bandana, and let it fall where it may. so far, we've experienced a few things together: an intramural football game, a bonfire, a dinner party at a lake house (which turned into a first kiss ha!), founder's day, finals week (ref: exhibit A), and the list is sure to become much longer.

i've never been to Morocco, but i can safely say one thing about their scarves, or scarves that are named after their country: they are beautiful and warm and add a hint of brilliance (fiest perhaps) to any outfit. something you can wear with pumps or a t-shirt? got a little genius in it...

so here's to this scarf! it's name shall be Hasan, which in arabic means "beautiful"
-R

Why scarves?

I've been called many names in my life. To name just a few:
Dr. Woo, Hubey, Goofball, Re, Rebeck, RAKM, Raks, Becky, Reba, Rebanator, Rebie, Rebsie-Biebsie (have you got the fever?), Rita (the newest one, maybe a personal fave?), Ritard (not personal fave..), etc.

I've also been called many things in my life...
weird, abnormal, ridiculous, ridiculously-good-looking, crazy, funny, super hott, etc.

One thing I've never been called, though, is eccentric. I saw this word one day last week while reading a textbook (you're welcome parents, I studied one day last week) and was informed that a certain printing process was eccentric. My first thought was--how can a printing process be a collector? and if it can be a collector, what does it collect?

I googled eccentric, and discovered it doesn't only mean a collector of things. But for the purpose of this blog, it does.

In order to become eccentric, I am going to start collecting scarves. Why?
1. I like them.
2. I wear them.
3. They are fashionable.
4. They can be multi-seasonal.
5. In the future when I close down this blog, I can look back and say "I got that scarf when I was a senior in college. Here look! This is a picture of me wearing it that night we saw Meryl Streep in Jackson Hole. Oh and that one is from Nan--she is a good person. I wore it with her to the Knicks' game."

How neat is that?!
