Scarves for short necks

I was chatting with a friend the other day, and she described herself as a "scarf hoarder", which I loved.  But I also felt super jealous -- I have a proportionately shorter neck, so I always stick to V- or scoop-neck tops.  Unfortunately, adding a scarf negates any neck elongating illusions that a V-neck provides, and actually swallows my neck up entirely.

But, our conversation inspired me to try again with the scarves.  They are just SO cute, especially this one from Zara that was wildly popular last year.

They have a similar one this year, but with all the red, the colors feel too bold for me.  Luckily, there are a ton of alternatives!

Guitar Hooks (from Little Green Notebook)

I absolutely LOVE everything that Jenny Komenda does on the Little Green Notebook.  Her blog is by far the one I've followed the longest, and I'm constantly getting inspiration from her many fantastic DIY projects.

In September, she posted about how they made guitar hooks for their music room.  I LOVE that they have a music room -- I played the piano as a kid and I dream about having a music room in my house one day.  Clinton grew up playing classical violin, but is much more likely to play his guitar, mandolin, or ukulele these days, meaning that these are often lying around, waiting to be knocked over or sat on.   But not anymore!

We made our own guitar hooks, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!
