This scarf has been on my covet list for so long!! I love it’s versatility – I would wear it untied with a white tshirt, black jeans, and a pair of bright colored flats to work, or maybe tie it on the handles of a black oversized tote!

I’ve been lusting after this Alexander McQueen Skull Chiffon Scarf for a couple of years, but haven’t been able to justify the spend, so i really hope to win with my “downtown 80s inspired rocker chic look” (just in time for the CBGB music festival/relaunch this summer in nyc)!
Of course we have the punk inspired Alexander McQueen Skull Chiffon Scarf.
Pierre Balmain Leather Vest in black (obsessed with this!)
Rick Owens Lilies Side Drape skirt in black
Rick Owens Ribbed tank in milk (which is to be tucked into the skirt, and if still too long i would cut it to where i wanted it)
Theyskens’ Theory Abby Ziggy Platforms in Black
Stella McCartney Shaggy Deer Falabella Fold Over Clutch in Black
Oliver Peoples Kosslyn in Black
Having a tough time deciding amongst all the amazing jewelry on Foward by elyse walker, but going to go with the less is more concept…
ALC Negative Space Cuff in Silver on left arm, and the Pamela Love Cross Ring in Sterling silver on right hand middle finger.
Thank you and I really hope to win! xoxo

I have always liked McQueens edgy style. The skull scarf is just the perfect combination of trend, and of course, color. Of course, I love all of the company”s scarves! It is so sad that he passed, but having one of his scarves in the pattern he developed would not only be a great look, but a memory of Alexander McQueen’s imprint on the fashion world.
Julia says
i liked both of the sites on facebook !!
BUT , because I work at a PR firm in NYC and it’s getting super nice out I love dressing up and I would wear the gorgeous scarf with
-Pierre Balmain black shorts
-Stella McCartney Laser cut tank in white
-Alexander McQueen blazer (black)
-Jimmy Choo topaz wedge sandal in black
-Givenchy Obsedia clutch in yellow
I love black and white with a hint of color… especially yellow. fabulous combination !!

Vanessa says
I love how a true classic, like this scarf, has never gone out of style! I loce mixing classic pieces with boho chic items I find on Etsy & Free People. I must live my fashion life the way Channel suggested many moons ago. Because of my love of scarves, jewelry and hair accessories – I always must take one thing off before I dash out the door! Accessories are my best friends;)
Margot C says
A bold iconic image that morphs into being classic, how cool is that scarf! I would wear it with a grey linen pencil skirt that I made, a BHLDN Commander Vest, my Kenneth Cole Grand Stand Sandals and an LL Bean Black Watch Men’s flannel shirt tied at the waist while carrying a Victoria Beckham Hexagonal Chain crocodile shoulder bag.
Wendy says
Oh, how I love this scarf!
I know I would wear it with mostly black, however I might add a touch of color with it {perhaps pink, to soften it up}
I always enjoy reading your blog, and find it so helpful and also quite creative. Your such a talented writer !!!

This Mcqueen scarf is perfect to add some edge to a classic little black dress . I’d wear it with the Karl Lagerfeld Darra dress, letting it flow down the dress. Nero Suede clear PVC pumps from Bottega Veneta would keep the shoe airy so the scarf remains the center of attention, and the Charmedbylisa Angel Heart bracelet accent adds color while maintaining the edge.
