definitely around my neck paired with a long cardigan, jeans and white tee. and probably flip flops being that the sun is out more regularly now...
kara.l.lundquist[at]gmail[dot]com
Great giveaway! I'd wear it in a knot around my neck with dark denim and a sweet tank. Add some funky gladiator sandals and I'm set. :-)
thanks for the chance!
lindsey@coveiter.com
I'd wear it at work to brighten up a black suit (and to ward off the chill of the always too-cold office air conditioning).
I love scarves when I'm traveling- over a t-shirt & perfect for chilly planes!
KATIE B.
Probally around my neck paired with a cardigan and pretty much anything. I think it's the sort of chic acessory that goes with everything!
ohh - i love it! the perfect way to add a splash of color AND floral to a summer wardrobe! while i've rocked the scarf loosely draped around the neck when i lived in LA, its actually quite needed here in seattle! i'd pair it with a simple white tank, OR my new white t-shirt dress i just bought for summer, that i happen to be wearing today!
That scarf is gorgeous! I would wear many ways!!! Draped around my neck, folded over a bazillion times and worn as a head scarf, unfolded over a bathing suit as a pareo, tied to the strap of a favorite bag - i could go on and on!!!
Bea-U-tiful! I would wear this scarf draped around my neck with a white tank, some faded jeans and gladiator sandals for a casual summer night! ahh..I can see it around my neck now!
Oh I am so LOVING this scarf! Since it's getting warmer out but I still love my black t-shirt dress, I would wear it with that, my white high heeled sandals, and blue chandelier earrings. Yay color!!
Beee U Tiful! Loves it! I'd wear in in the rain, snow, sun. On a mountain in a valley. In the city in a field. aam53@pitt.edu
Love this scarf! I would drape it over my shoulders while sporting a hot little cocktail dress and some heels while enjoying a nice dinner out with the BF.

I would wear it as a halter top (as long as it was big enough)!
lpeterson19@hotmail.com
On my hair, here in the Florida Keys scarves around the neck is just one more item to make you sweat. The scarve is lovely, it would make such a cool bandana and/or headband.
I would wrap my shoulders or neck up in that colorful silk, let's see, turquoise, curry yellow, grey... yes, please! simplywithstyle@gmail.com
I think I'd pair it with a simple shift dress and wear it to work, spice up the boring black every now and then! this would be perfect!
how gorgeous!! i love scarves in the summertime - it seems i can't get out of my tees-and-jeans rut, but a scarf makes it all better somehow. so, i'd wear this pretty with a bright yellow tee, around my neck, and smile every time i saw it!
Gorgeous scarf. I heart giveaways! It's ridiculously hot here in Florida right now so I would wear it in my hair with a fabulous sundress!
I work in PR, which means I wear black and white, spiced up with the occasional gray. This scarf would be the perfect addition when I'm running out the door in (yet another) black shift dress ...
rlibby01@gmail.com
cute cute cute! i'd wear that baby tiz style, with a plain wife beater tank & some skinny jeans. kind of hippie chic. i've been looking for a sweet summer scarf & that one is just adorable. chloe.chelemengos@gmail.com. yes please!
This scarf is gorgeous! I'd wear it with a simple, white v-neck tee, gold hoops, and distressed cut-off denim shorts. For shoes, I'd wear a pair of beautiful leather sandals that have bright yellow stones surrounded by crystals that I got in Italy. alyssadiloreto[at]gmail[dot]com
What a gorgeous and fun little number! For me, I would wear it as a very chic headpiece/bandanna, paired with some ultra cool Chanel shades, a long sleeveless maxi dress, flat t-strap Tory Burch sandals, and a few chunky bangles. Very bohemian chic, effortless, and comfortable!
lizzydivine@gmail.com
I adore this scarf! I would wear it with my essentials - white v-neck t-shirt and jeans or black shorts for the summer. Love it!
great giveaway and beautiful scarf!
I'd probably wear it to death! with jeans and white j.crew tee for running errands, with a dress for work, with a sundress for drinks on the patio, etc. etc. etc!
jennifer.bonds@gmail.com
Kudos to chickdowntown.com for the awesome giveaways!!
I love the rich colors of this scarf! I would wear it around my neck, Jesse James style, with flowy black sundress or a white tank and my boyfriend jeans.
rlp4683@gmail.com
The colors are so vivid! I love it - it would look fantastic with a summery LBD casual and chic
susanloveschris at gmail dot com
How pretty is this beauty!
All classics with it, khakis, white collar shirt and dock shoes for sure
savvyaddy@gmail.com
with a white tank and jeans - the perfect travel clothes
Such a beautiful scarf! I would happily wear it long around my neck with pretty new spring black seperates. Belisima!
First I'd like to say that I LOVE your site, I don't know why I never left a comment before! I would wear this scarf with a white T, jeans, and these ralph lauren cognac gladiator-esque sandals I have been wanting to get. nchung@uh.edu
I would wear the scarf many ways but primarily as a head scarf for an upcoming Indian wedding I am doing the event design for. It is the bride's family tradition to cover the hair during one of the smaller ceremonies and I would love to honor their culture while wearing such a chic scarf.
This is a wonderful giveaway Paloma - keep them coming!
mrandmrsring@gmail.com
I live in Charleston and wear scarve constantly when I'm out and about. I especially love throwing my hair up, wrapping a scarf around it, putting my convertible top down and driving to the beach!
Gorgeous scarf! I would wear it just like in the picture, only with everything I own!!!
jackie.hofman@gmail.com
Well, living in boston, I would probably wear the scarf to keep warm until about august, and then I would pair it with a white tee or tank and maybe some dark denim!
kvangeldern@gmail.com
I would wear the scarf over a tank top paired with skinny jeans, much like in Ashley Tisdale's picture but without the goofy grin, and perhaps with a light weight cardigan thrown in.
mel5886@hotmail.com
Ok, fold it at the vertical half-point, put the folded scarf over your shoulder and then bring one of the end pieces through the loop from the top and the other through the loop from the bottom. Gives a great criss-cross look.
I'm looking for the perfect travel scarf. This would be perfect paired with a white T , dark denim, simple ballet flats.
p.s. I'd get a lot of mileage out of this one.
thinknap(at)gmail(dot)com
what a beautiful scarf! It's been so hot in LA but this scarf would spice up a simple black dress! I love it, P!
Great scarf! Of couse it would be great with a white tank and very soft buttery boyfriend jeans but I would also wear it with my favorite little black summer dress to dress it up with a pop of chic color. A pair of gladiator sandels and your done!
Basically, I would wear it with everything. T-shirt dresses, leggings, skinny jeans, bathing suit, etc.
So pretty!! I would wear it with my black BCBG v-neck jersey dress to a wedding in Charleston SC in May, with fun purple pumps, my turquoise Prada clutch, and my gold Homero chandeliers. Then to a wedding in Connecticut in June with my turquoise Kay Unger sheath dress, big chandeliers (maybe gold w/ turquoise), gold sandals, and champagne Kate Spade clutch. On both occasions, I'd probably wear it over my shoulders and tie it in the back (if that makes sense). Gorgeous scarf and perfect to add that "punch" and uniqueness for dressy events.
Fabulous scarf! I'd wear it around my neck with a flowy shirt & skinny jeans and sandals...loves!
I just love this fun scarf! I would wear it with jeans and a fun tank, or pair it with a casual day dress for fun summer days!I hope I win, I wish I could afford this great scarf, but with the way the economy is, I just can't do it. I would rob wear it once a week just to throw some great spring colors in my wardrobe! Thanks!
I love scarves to dress up a plain white tee or tank along with some skinny jeans and pretty flats.
I would tie it around my microphone at my next gig Guns 'N Roses style!
jenniferbneeley@gmail.com
Love the scarf! Just a plain white T and jeans to set off its magic colors is all I will need!
Hope I win!
Many Thanks!...love your blog!
Vickie
I would wear it on my head, to tame the curls just coming back in after chemo.
sageabf@mail.com
Love the scarf! I live at the beach so I would probably wear it as a sarong over my royal blue suit and a giant pair of shades!!!
I'd wear it as a shawl over a white summer dress at my civil wedding at the courthouse in NYC in June - paired with a pretty bright bouquet of spring flowers to match!
jennsommer@gmail.com
Absolutely gorge! I would definitely rock that scarf on my summer trip to Spain with a white tank and jeans.
Love.it.
OK, I'm disqualified because I don't live in the U.S. (but our mailing address is a U.S. APO, does that count? ;)
Anyway, I have a huge, leather Storksak diaper bag I bought before my daughter was born. I had hoped by getting a sorta-chic baby bag, my look (and carry-all) wouldn't scream "mommy."
To help de-mommy it some more, I'd tie the scarf loosely around a bag handle - the way I've seen Sienna Miller do.
Perfect summer scarf with a white tank (or any color really), dark jeans, and some killer heels or gold strappy sandals. It's gorgeous!
Kylie
Ohhh... with a white beater, jeans, aviators and most importantly, a tan.
xo!
I would definitely wear it with a white tank, jean shorts and a pair of gladiators.
Love it!
christinap85@yahoo.com
I would wear it to dress up a boring white tee and jeans outfit, on a lazy day. The scarf alone would make me look pulled together! Love it!
KikiZoe86(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would do a GREY GARDENS LOOK! Like little Edie with some "baby hair" on the sides. Or the loop around the neck. Love that scarf.
Gorgeous colors!
It would cover my shoulders so the pattern could be seen!
I leave between the States and Hong Kong and I do have my US address.
Besides I could wear it on both continents!!
Irina
What a fabulous scarf.....I would wear it around my shouders with black slacks a silk tank!
Lovely...
Love it. I would wear it with a long, casual dress and dressy sandals. It would be my summer/spring staple. I may also wear it in my hair in those days when something extra is needed.
This Beaut would start around tied around my favorite handbag, then migrate to my neck as I run out the door, then I would prob get bored and wear it around my head for a while ( i love scarves in the hair actually I love anything in my hair.). Then I would be hot because it would be a perfect summer day so I would forget the rest of the outfit and wear it around my waste or even heck as a dress. Honestly it would be a jack of all traits. (or a jill or all traits.) Lets just say between my 15 ways to wear it and my 3 fashion and fun loving roommates that share they closets with me this single baby could be worn in 45 different ways. Lets just say productive, resessionista, I pay for manhattan apartment; budget friendly.

How boring am I that I would probably just wear it around my neck?
Very pretty! Just the splash of color I need to go with my white denim jacket!
How would I not wear it? I'd love it around my neck paired with a simple white t shirt and skinny jeans, tied onto my bag.
This is absolutely perfect for spring and summer - goes with just about everything :)
sharalee99@hotmail.com
I LOVE the versatility of scarves!
In addition to wearing them numerous ways around the neck (with a great summer dress and sandals, killer jeans and jacket for the evening, or as an accessory to the cardigans/skirts I wear to work) I also like placing them in spots around the house as part of my decor. Using the scarf to give the couch or leather armchair a splash of color, or wrapping it loosely around a vase of flowers, really adds a feminine touch to my living space.
Three cheers for scarves!
Just looking at the scarf made me happy, the colors are stunning. If I were still 20, I would turn the scarf into a halter top and wear it with a comfy pair of cut off jeans and go stroll the boardwalk with a big straw bag and sandles that had leather wraps up my ankles. Since however I will be 60 in two weeks, I would wear it around my neck and then open it to use as a shawl when my shoulder got cold in the evening over a mustard colored linen dress.
Thanks for bringing beauty into the lives of us old gals as well.
Cheers Soleistyle.
Id wear it with a purple cotton sleeveless dress. gold hoops, gladiator sandals and gold, and orange bangles. soo cute!!!!!
ginabee06@hotmail.com
It's so gorgeous I'd wear it with jeans and a white top, with black or khaki slacks. As often as possible 'cuz it's fantastically beautiful! :)
shawn@eclecticwhimsy.com
This scarf goes with absolutely everything in my wardrobe! I would first wear it with jeans and a white blouse, sandals and vintage jewelry.
Faith
I adore a pretty scarf. I would wear it with a striped tee or a simple boyfriend tank and jeans. Of course, a pair of pretty sandals would top it all off.
twoellie@gmail.com
Hi,
I would wear it with a nice pair of jeans and my favorite white blouse. I would wear my blue high heels and pretty earrings! Love it!
mkellyduffy@cox.net
I'd wrap my hair up in it and feel like the prettiest lady in town! :) My outfit would consist of a matching solid colored summer dress, big sunglasses, and some gypsy-looking sandals. Ooooo, I hope I win! cmclauchlin@gmail.com
I would wear this scarf everyday!!! I would first wear it wrapped very loosely around my neck with jeans and some of the bright new featherweight Ts I just got on sale from Gap (yellow, orange, turquoise, tan striped...) and flats. WHen it gets warmer I would pair it with dresses of all colors. Around the neck with more casual, cotton dresses and around my shoulders when dressier. During the summer I would use it as a sarong to make an old solid bathing suit feel new. It's so versatile and would brighten up my wardrobe since I don't have money for lots of new clothes.
heather.stingley@gmail.com
Def around my neck with a white tank top and skinny jeans! Love these scarves!
oops, forgot my email address: missesmisadventures@gmail.com
Thanks!
Living in KL is making me want to add 800 scarves to my wardrobe! It's hot as Hades here, but then you go inside and the air conditioners are set to Arctic Blast! This would definitely keep me cool inside without weighing me down outside.
And, of course, would come quite handy when we take beach trips as I don't own a swimsuit coverup! It's beautiful.
I work in a family owned scrap metal recycling yard..I have a regular "uniform" of jeans and a Tee, so I try to use glasses, earrings and boots to accessories and not feel quite so boring. That scarf would look fantastic wrapped around my neck while driving the forklift!
Thanks
cece32@comcast.net
I would wear it with embellished flops, a little sundress and big shades.
themaidenmetallurgist@gmail.com
Coming out of the wood work for this one--thanks for the great giveaway :)
I would pair this scarf with a white sundress and my jack rogers sandals!
I would wear it paired with dark skinny jeans and a basic tank. I love the drapey look and would put it around my neck. What a gorgeous must-have for spring!

hi! I try and wear scarves pretty regularly, I love that they are functional and add a dose of color. not to mention keeping you warm in the office!

bbrobw(at)hotmail(dot)com
So gorgeous! I love scarves, and I would certainly wear this with absolutely anything! Dark wash skinny jeans and fun sandals, mmm :)
beautiful and such a great punch of color! I'd wear it with any outfit, especially a simple one like skinny jeans, a solid color tank, and bright flat sandals. Besides wearing it, the scarf would be cute on a white handbag! Email: rmc2152@columbia.edu
I would wear it with a really simple black A-line dress, my hair in a low messy bun, and Havaianas :)
i would drape it, wrap it, bandana it and cinch it...and then again, i might stretch it like a very big canvas as art for the wall...hope i win so that i can get creative with this wonderful prize!
Picture a sunflower yellow knit dress, low scoop neck and tea length. I'd wear the scarf wrapped around my neck by day and draped at the hip after 5pm! So colorful and sensuous!
ericahowat@mac.com
It looks nice and big so i think I would wear this wrapped once around the neck and leave one side much longer for drama in the front and attached together with a mors scarf ring at the neck. I would wear this with an all black ensemble to let the scarf have a good backdrop to be the center focus of the outfit. It's a lovely scarf!
Oh this is easy... I'd pair it with my white j.crew matchstick jeans, my fave pair of bronzy/gold sandals and a gold tank to pullout the gold in the print. Pair it with a colorful handbag (I'm thinking a teal clutch) and you're out the door!
Love the color!! I would wear it open around my neck with a long wrap sweater,probably belted around my waist with some skinny jeans and high heels!
brennakate42@gmail.com
I would tie it around my head (bias band fold) and wear a cute white summer dress and gladiator sandals.

Gorgeous - You could wear it with nothing at all!
'Course if you wanted to leave the house, I'd suggest a long white breezy sun dress and some flip flops.
This is an awesome giveaway. I'm a huge fan of these scarves!
I'd wear it in my hair, tied in a big bow with a fun printed sundress (I'm all about mixing prints).
Love it! Such a beautiful design!
I'd definitely wear it w/jeans, flip flops and a white tee, to let it stand out and take over the whole outfit.
forevershopping@gmail.com
i'd wear it wrapped around the front handle of my white handbag. because honestly, it's 91 degrees today, and i want as little clothes on as possible, but how could you keep such a gorgeous scarf inside on such a sunny day!!
[catherine.elise.mail@gmail.com]
I love it! I can definately see myself wearing it to the office, out shopping and throughout the summer - with those colors the possiblities are endless! bhiebert@pldi.net
The question is how would I not wear this scarf. Over the past year I have fallen in love with scarfs and am just starting my collection. In the spring/summer I like to wrap a gauzy one around my neck once in a large loop. Love it!
SO many ways to rock that scarf - around the neck with a pair of jeans and this totally hip "recycle" tank I piched yesterday or tied tightly around a nice big bag for your day out shopping!!!
jmluvs2dance@gmail.com
Love this scarf... I've been eying it forever!
I just got a bit of a tan at Jazz Fest so I am definitely thinking to pair it with jeans and a white tank!!!
Fabulous scarf. I would use it to belt a long white linen tunic over a long khaki skirt; kind of a Bohemian look!Accessorize with a beaded necklace,earrings and cuff bracelet,and flat sandals.
Gorgeous scarf! I'd showcase it with a simple beatifully cut solid-colored dress (maybe grey or a nice shade of blue?) and some funky antique earrings.
nadia.k@gmail.com
Hi Paloma doll! :) I would wear it with a white wife beater, skinnies, and white patent T-strap sandals, or hot pink Louboutin Very Prive pumps.
