in real life - no one ties scarves jauntily to their handbags do they?

Love the name.

I do - but only if I get too hot and can't be arsed to carry it. In fact, I currently have a leopard print one tied to my bag, as I've just returned from town and it was farkin boiling in all of the shops.

I rarely venture outdoors without a jaunty scarf on my handbag. I find it's useful for wiping noses.

SpangledPandemonium · 24/09/2011 14:43

I have been known to tie a scarf to my bag for similar reasons to Remus.

I couldn't confirm that it was done jauntily

BlowHole · 24/09/2011 14:44

I might do in future. Sounds like the kind of thing schoolgirls did in the eighties IIRC.

SueNarmy · 24/09/2011 14:48

in other fashion judgements i think that thsoe trapper hats are like a " here is the wanker" symbol

those adn straw trilbys

I did today, I had THE ebay scarf on, got too hot in town, so tied it over the handles of my bag ...............

OtterBjitch · 24/09/2011 14:49

Would it not get all tangled up with the zips, tassels, numerous 'charms' and little blue dog? Confused

BlowHole · 24/09/2011 14:50

SueNarmy, my ex wears a straw trilby, he is a definite wanker.

SpangledPandemonium · 24/09/2011 14:50

Are you looking at Next stuff?

MrsCampbellBlack · 24/09/2011 14:51

Ladies of a certain age do that round these parts

And how's the leoapard cardi?

SueNarmy · 24/09/2011 14:53

How old do you have to be to be "of a certain age" Post 40?

SueNarmy · 24/09/2011 14:54

gin and jag i think

with too much silver jewellery

I'll get my (unfashionable) coat then.

DoubleDegreeStudent · 24/09/2011 14:58

I do. It means a plain black bag looks more like it's meant to go with your outfit, and (opposite to Remus) if it gets cold I always have something extra to put on.

I also caught my friend doing the walk of shame. She pretended to ignore me and then later claimed it wasn't her, but I had spotted her scarf on her bag. No way she could deny that! Grin

MrsCampbellBlack · 24/09/2011 14:58

I was thinking more well preserved late 50's early 60's.

Oh Sue tried on a lovely top today in whistles - the adele double leopard 20% off in whistles next week with grazia . . .

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2011 15:04

Our school decided in their wisdom to turn the heating on the other day - AND we have to keep jackets on at all times. Bonkers.

DoubleDegreeStudent · 24/09/2011 15:05

You have to keep your jacket on?! Are you a pupil or a teacher?!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/09/2011 15:14

A teacher! I know...I know....

rockinastocking · 24/09/2011 15:17

God, that top is gorge.

SueNarmy · 24/09/2011 15:50

i LOVE that
have much admired block heeled navy tassel suede laofers( £20 in next sale in summer)
kids adn staff LOVE them, would look nice with top

BehindLockNumberNine · 24/09/2011 15:59

I do, but not jauntily. More in a it-is-too-hot-to-wear-this-thing-and-I-am-carrying-too-much-stuff-so-let's-tie-it-on-here-else-I-will-drop-it kind of way...

warmandwooly · 24/09/2011 16:25

I do for similar reasons to other posters..when it gets too hot i tie it on a handle. However its a rather messy affair as opposed to any sense of style

iWILLdothis · 24/09/2011 17:17

Wished I had one of my bigger handbags with me yesterday rather than a tiny one, or I would have tied mine up when I overheated!

SofaQueen · 24/09/2011 17:25

I do. The weather changes by the hour here, and if I am wearing a scarf in the morning, it is often too warm to have in on by the afternoon so I just wrap it around the handles of my bag. It is tied jauntily, probably not, but purposefully yes.
