I'll start if I can figure out how to upload files.

The first pic:
My first time with a belted scarf look, really mixed feedback from friends
LE merino dress in blue
Anthro scarf
BR skinny belt
Gap stretchy shirt underneath for warmth
Aquatalia rain boots with grey hoseiry

The second pic:
A "safe" scarf look
Laura Ashley scarf (remix)
GH merino sweater
Anthro high waist cords (belted and bulky bc they are too big now)
Frye boots (probably can't see them)

ETA: took pictures down
Here is a link to the first scarf, in a different color

I need to study these myself. I am a scarf newbie--I bought several scarves but haven't really used them much yet. I need to learn.

Love this video, but she goes so fast. I wish you could pause it or slow it down. I need to study it too.

I love her video too! She's gotten me hooked on scarves! If you go to her blog, she does break down the links to different methods to wear the scarves.

Nupe, with the first pic, I think that the scarf looks odd tucked into your belt. I would do something more drape-like around your neck.

Kind of like this...

Maybe it would work better with another type of scarf (not as heavy or wide), or having it look more thin, not covering your whole front: like this: http://www.aintnomomjeans.com/2011/02/wear-your-long-cardigan-as-a-dress.html (third picture down)

Goldenpig: Wendyslookbook is what inspired the "big scarf" look for me. I need to make sure the scarf would stay close to my body at work, and I needed belt for the dress anyway, so I thought I'd try the belted scarf.

Hellokitty: I will have to check out her blog.

Hellokitty, thanks for the links, since it is rectangular scarf (and I don't plan to cut it into another shape), the second link may work. But I need to have the scarf fairly secure and fairly close to my body for work, not too hanging out. Was focusing on a work look here.

Edurnemk: I do like that third pic down, and this scarf is just too voluminous for that look!

Marymoo86, I used the follow that blog regularly, and I miss it sooo much! I must have seen that picture at least once before. I do like how she capturesd the scarf in the middle and overlapped it over itself.

Speaking of Hermes, they once published a tying guide:
http://www.mamaloveslists.com/mom-hack-how-to-tie-a-scarf-dozens-of-ways-download-your-free-hermes-guide-to-scarf-tying.html

My fave is #3 in part 2. I use it all the time w shorter scarves.
