Ok I seen the zara blanket scarf and fell in love. I do think it is still available on the the zara website.  I was at the thrift store and found a flannel blanket. Yep. Pinterest has numerous ideas on styling a blanket scarf.

This blogger gives you a tutorial on three ways to wear it.
If you want to make your own the blogger mentioned her zara scarf measures 53" on all sides. So that is roughly 1 1/2 yards of 60" fabric. You can cut it down if you want.

Turban head band

My b day

This year my bday fell on thanksgiving. So my hubby took me out the night before. We went to dinner and then bar crawling ( bar hopping) in the epic center in Charlotte this place was new to us. The arm bands gave us free entry to three to four places. Some were clubs others were a combination of restaurant and club or bar. We went to the suite twice they had the better drinks. I am way too old for that type of partying I was tired on my bday slash thanksgiving I did not want to go eat. I was like can't you just get me some cook out and leave me here. I had a GOOD time. He knows his wife! Only thing that could have made it better was to have my girls there I will work on that!
Since best buy opened up at 6 after we ate we stopped by best buy at about 5:45 Leon got in line and waited in the longest line ( the phone line) to get his wife a free g4. Great job bae!

Just being creative

I thought I could not hurt to show what I did so I emailed them to her. I mentioned how she was looking for interns a while back and here were a few of my ideas. She responded back wanting to know if I was interested in being an I rock out apparel intern. I was like awww!
You know I had to get a creatively chic one in the next three are some local high schools and of course starting with the best DST I added some Greek ones that was pretty fun!

Sequin joggers

Finally made them. Put knit cuffs on the bottom like Erica B did on her black ones. I love how they came out. I did not make a lining but I will when I make my jumpsuit I forgot how transparent this fabric is. I will make my faux leather joggers this week I need them for homecoming.
