How to Wear a Scarf

I came across this clever Hermes deck of scarf styling cards on Cafe Mode (click on images to see larger). We have so many scarves at Tula and so many of our clients ask how to wear them. So, we'd like to present our own version of scarf styling, minus the professional photographer, professional model (though Laura could be one), and use of a scarf as a sling.

As always, if you have questions about scarf styling (whether it's a purchase from Tula or not) don't hesitate to stop in for some tips.
