I bought one of those beautiful [hip scarves](http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00JeOarPgzHIcD/Belly-Dance-Hip-Scarves.jpg) and I want to wear it today. Trouble is, I have a blouse that reaches a little below my waist.

So do I wear the hip scarf under my shirt, over my shirt, or tuck the shirt in?

Do help! I went googling but all I find is gorgeous models wearing hip scarves, jeans, and either no shirts or belly shirts, neither of which I am doing at work!

Let the shirt hang down and tie it around the waist, over the shirt.

You’re going to want to wear it the same way you’d wear a scarf that was totally lame and unhip. The only difference is that this scarf will be hip and trendy.

Hee. Thank you!

Thanks, ladyfoxfyre. I thought as much but wasn’t positive.
