3 Looks: Prairie Underground Denim Girdle Legging

Today we’re spotlighting the amazing Prairie Underground Denim Girdle Legging in Black. At first glance, these may look a little scary but you have to try them to believe how flattering they are! They have a high, zippered waist that adjusts easily to different sizes and the centered front seams create a long and lean appearance. The exposed zipper allows for two completely different looks depending on whether you cover it up. Show it off for an edgier vibe or keep it covered like we did, which offers a lot of versatility.

Look 1: A day at the office or event

This would be a great outfit for work or an event where you need to look pulled together. Accessorizing is easy with some gold jewelry and heels. The sweater is also reversible so you can play around with the buttons exposed or not.

Note: Some of these items have already sold out! So, if it's not immediately available on line, we'd be happy to let you know when they'll be back in stock or special order a shipment!

As you can see, the back of this sweater could also be worn as the front. It would look great layered with a cami!

Look 2: Christmas shopping

This look is perfect for those hectic shopping days when you’re running around but still want to look great. The cloak hoodie is great to throw on and off when you’re walking from the car and dodging the rain.

Look 3: A weekend at the mountain

A weekend getaway to the mountain can be stylish and practical! Slip your girdle leggings into some rainboots to keep your feet protected from the snow and throw on a thick and cozy Prairie Underground top.

Kelsey is wearing the Prairie Underground Satellite Top in Oatmeal with a Melie Bianco Bag and dav Rainboots. *We currently only have the Satellite top in Turquoise, available in the store but please call for more information on special orders and delivery dates!*

We also have the Denim Girdle Legging in Olive available online for pre-sale from the Prairie Underground 2012 Spring Line. These will be flying off the shelves as soon as they're in so place your order soon to reserve a pair!

How to wear your Fluxus nomad scarf

Now that Oprah has featured the Fluxus nomad scarf we have scarves on the brain. While it’s clear how fashionable scarves can be and how they can add some razzle dazzle to just about any outfit, some of us don’t know the different ways to wear this must have accessory. Luckily at Shop Adorn we’re here to guide you towards three of the more common looks- the knot, the loop and letting it hang.

The knot (as seen with the pulp colored scarf)
This tried and true look can be accomplished in a flash on your way out the door and looks best with a blazer, cardigan or over a simple shirt. Hold both scarf ends in one hand and hold the looped end in the other. Hang around the back of your neck and then thread the loose ends through the looped end in front and viola you’re rockin the knot.

The loop (as seen with the purple, blue and black scarves)
Just as simple as the knot and a great way to add some depth to a tee, sweater or dress. Hold an end of the scarf in both hands and drape the scarf around the front of your neck. Wrap around your neck two or three times, depending on how much slack in the scarf you prefer. You can leave the ends hanging in the front, or back or tuck them up in the loops. You can also simply loop it once around your neck and let the ends drape down your front for a tighter look.

Letting it hang (as seen with the ivory scarf)
This is by far the simplest, but looks fantastic with just about any top or jacket that hits below the waist. Just drape the scarf around the back of the neck and let the ends fall loosely down your front.

These are of a few classic ways to wear a scarf, but we want to hear how you like to wear one in our comments section below!
