A nifty scarf styling technique

I love scarves. I have a passion for all foulards, carrés, shawls,... and have quite an extensive collection. Nothing say feminine and chic more than a scarf elaborately tied around a woman's neck.
Here is one of my favourite ways to wear a scarf in the spring time. You require a coat and a long shawl. It has to be very light weight, think chiffon or satin silk, anything bulkier won't work.
I'm using a large square scarf folded diagonally.

Turn up your coat's collar and place the scarf around it. I like to place mine slightly asymmetrically.

Now take the end of scarf and push it through the top buttonhole from the outside in.

Continue weaving the scarf through the buttonholles until you reach the bottom buttonhole.

Turn the collar back down, making sure the scarf isn't peeking out from underneath and adjust both ends. I usually pin a brooch on the lapel or collar.

If you're feeling a bit creative, here's another option. I made a basic loop with the other end and pinned it to the coat with the brooch.

It works for notched lapel collars as well.
