WTF? - Scarf OOTD

Ok, I know I can't be completely alone here.  So you know that whole scarf trend?  Yeah, I love it too.  BUT, I can't ever get mine right.  I need a how to on scarf tying.  Is there a Scarves for Dummies book out yet?

Today's scarf I got on sale at Anthropologie.  It's such a great print but I wasn't sure what to wear with it.  When I saw the scarf online, the model was shown wearing it with a black and white striped top.  I'm not big on horizontal striped shirts, but I did have this cute tube dress and decided to give it a try today.
Here's my scarf experimentation (long, short, add jacket - not sure what the heck to do).
dress - American Eagle; scarf - Anthropologie Sevea; denim moto jacket - Juicy Couture; shoes - Preview via Nordstrom Rack

Don't mind my puppy there (he's the white blur of fur behind me).  The school bus arrived for my neighbor during our photo session and he had to make sure she got off ok.  Barking at the bus apparently gets the job done.  ;)
Have you embraced the scarf?  Care to share any tips or styling ideas?  I have accumulated quite a collection, but most I just have no idea what to do with.

    Katrina - I totally love scarves too. Depending on the size, it can be hard to figure out what to do with them. I like the photo with your scarf and jacket together. Here is an "everthing you need to or even wanted to know" (-: about scarves - http://www.scarves.net/how-to-tie-a-scarf/

    I love a good scarf but the BF refuses to be seen with me in a scarf unless it is winter and I'm literally wearing it for warmth with my coat. The idea of a light summer scarf blows his mind.

    On a side note, I you in that dress - you look fantastic!

    I love the dress! I am of no help when it comes to tying scarves. I can't ever seem to get it right either:) Just looking at your pictures, I think the shorter version works better with this dress. I'm off to check out the links Jess and Carolyn mentioned!

    I'm obsessed with scarf too, but clueless on how to tie them. I think if you got o one of those place has good service, such as nordstrom, you can get them to show you.

    I really like that scarf! During the fall/winter I probably wear one everyday. From your pics above, I like it best with the jacket. I think it would also look cute with just a pair of skinny jeans and white tank too! :)

    I love the ways you styled this...I love to twist mine around several times before wrapping it around my neck, cuz that way it just stays put.
