I just got back from a five-day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, and Bimini, The Bahamas, AKA The Riviera Maya, with Virgin Voyages. It was a blast, and I felt I packed very well. I wanted to share what I wore on my Virgin Voyages cruise as an over-40, size 14/16 petite woman. Why Iโm Sharing…
Have you ordered anything else from Lands End Canvas? I am wanting to order a dress from there, but am a bit worried about the sizing. Lands End stuff can be really big! If you have, is it similar?

It is 27″ square. I fold it on the angle – one point to center, opposite point to center, fold again (like you do when you make a square scarf a headband). End up with a 3″ wide band. Tie a single knot in the center of the strip, then two on either side. The tips/ends I tie a very tiny knot at the tips just to close the loop.
OK, Allie, I don’t understand the 3 knot scarf trick…..it’s cute as hell, but what size was the scarf and where did you place the knots??? Sorry, but I need more visual help. Thanks! Glad to have you back, BTW. Missed you while you were “on sabbatical”.
I love your scarf idea! that is so cute! And you look so great today!
Cute idea for the scarf – I’ll have to try that out! Love the heels!
I have no idea how you stand in those shoes.
I love your trick with the scarf! very cute! you look great! ๐
