DAY 7: 30 Day Scarf Challenge

So today I'm in sort of a blah mood. I'm just exhausted by the week, but I'm excited that I have a 3 day weekend! This will probably be my last 3 day weekend until after the holidays so I have to make the most of it! I can't wait to spend time with my boyfriend and my family and just relax! Now that I think about it maybe I should schedule a massage, these next couples weeks are going to be busy and stressful! But its all worth it! Work now, play later, right? So here is my lazy day scarf.

My cousin Natalie made this for me and its super comfortable!! It's seriously like a sweatshirt. Not only is this scarf perfect for lounging around the house and relaxing, but it is perfect for those cold nights! If I go out tonight I'm definitely wearing this since it'll be really warm with my winter jacket. 

Doesn't get more comfortable than this! Starting off my 3 day weekend with the right scarf! :) Be sure to follow my blog! Join me tomorrow for Day 8! Stay warm everyone!

DAY 6: 30 Day Scarf Challenge

Hello everyone! Here is my scarf for Day 6.

Don't you love my new phone case??

This is what I was wearing today after work before I passed out on the couch because I'm not feeling well today! Lately, I feel like I'm stretching myself too thin. I just need to keep reminding myself 2 more weeks of classes, a week off for Thanksgiving, finals week, and then graduation! If only I could get over this cold which is doubled with allergies today. Is it bad that I want it to snow so my seasonal allergies will go away? Anyway, enough complaining on my end! Here is my scarf, since I didn't want to cover up my necklace today I chose to go with a smaller, lighter scarf. It is much thinner than most of the scarves I own as shown below.

All I did to get this look was tie the ends. But instead of tying the corners like I did for Day 1 and Day 3 I tied the entire ends into a knot. 

Then wrapped it around my neck twice. Feel free to scarf your favorite scarf! You can contact me by commenting below or emailing me at CoffeeAndCourture@outlook.com.

I hope you are having a great Wednesday!

DAY 4: 30 Day Scarf Challenge

Today is Day 4 of the 30 Day Scarf Challenge!

Thank you Lauren for taking this picture!

So let me first start off with explaining why I renamed my blog from "My Life in a Nutshell" to "Coffee and Couture" since there were some people with many questions about it (you know who you are :-P ). I want my blog to be more fashion oriented (hence the "couture") and I love coffee (I drink it like its water). So that's that! I tried to make it as original as possible but as me as possible, and I feel like I nailed it! Anyway, my scarf! This is an infinity scarf that my mom crochet for me a couple years ago. I absolutely love the colors and the fact that it only goes around your neck once. Its also super warm! With out this scarf today I would have been freezing so I'm glad I brought it along. (It also matches my coffee cup which I chose to include in this picture for the sake of my blog name!)

This scarf literally covers your entire neck with only wrapping it around your neck once. Gotta love the simplicity!
Hope you have a magnificent Monday! Please follow my blog! See you tomorrow for Day 5.

DAY 1: 30 Day Scarf Challenge

Hello and welcome to my 30 Day Scarf Challenge! The scarf is the most important part of a fall outfit and I will give you 30 reasons why this month. To quote Natalie,"You don't need a bunch of clothes if you have enough scarves to dress up any outfit!"

The scarf I chose for Day 1 of my 30 Day Scarf Challenge is one that I have bought most recently. It is something I wouldn't normally buy because it has skulls on it and I've never been into skulls, however you can't see the skulls when its draped around your neck! The colors are just perfect for most things that I wear. This is me just arriving to work. I'm wearing my navy North Face which brings out the navy in the scarf. Instead of wearing this scarf the traditional way of just wrapping it around your neck, I choose to mix it up a little.

Can you even tell there are skulls?

This is how I did this look.

First, I tied the opposite corners of the scarf in a knot.

Hang it around your neck like a giant necklace.

Take the bottom of the scarf and cross it over to make an 8.

Then take the bottom loop of the 8 and flip it over your head and voila!

Please leave any comments or questions below! Be sure to enter your email to follow my blog! Check in tomorrow to see Day 2 of my 30 Day Scarf Challenge.
