Now that is a very good idea Jade especially if you walk a lot and don't want to wear a fanny pack.

omg, no. I don't wear a lot of scarves. I have a substantial bosom, so if I wear a scarf it ends up being too much in my face. The thought of putting keys or my phone in there to have that weight on my neck and chest does not appeal.

Re: Bra pockets...I never saw this when I lived in NY, but since I moved to NC I've seen it a lot! I work in a library. Very often people come in and have their library card or money tucked in to their bra. Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but if a person is very sweaty it is kinda gross. Lets be real, all money is filthy dirty regardless of where it's kept. Once a very obese woman came in and stood in front of me rummaging around in her top for quite some time "I know it's in there somewhere....." It was all I could do to not laugh.

I recently saw a sign in a store that said "We no longer accept boob or sock money" (not bra or foot money)

I do, on occasion, put my phone, chap stick, atm card/id in my bra when I don't want to carry a purse and I don't have a pocket. But only if my clothing hides it well.

That looks like a contemporary fanny pack As for infinity scarves, they don't have pockets, so I would never wear one for that purpose. Actually I would never wear one anyway. I'm too short for them to look good on me and I'm warm natured too.

I am surprised so many of you busty ladies don't like scarves! I use mine to add some length. Not too creative about tying them but I don't have a problem with them crowding my face. I stick to thin ones. I also wear them draped around my shoulders.

I haven't been sold on the infinity scarf because I don't find enough wearing options. I definitely don't do the bra thing since I think it is awkward to look for stuff. I only use my bra for my phone in the cases there was a a really long bathroom line and I was doing something, but I wasn't done so I don't want to put the phone back in my bag!

I can't think of a time where I didn't feel like using a purse. I have small crossbodies and wrist strap clutches for the days i don't want to be burdened with a big bag. And my leather cuff. But that needs to be paired with pockets for keys, lip balm and phone.

I had one of those in the 90's, it was a great idea! I used it to carry a car key/house key & little cash, when I went out for a walk or run or to an aerobics class.

So, did everyone but me already know this, lol?
No, I hate them. And there is no way I would keep anything "hiding in it" that was important.

I loooooove these. I have a bunch of these in my closet, just waiting for January when the temperature plummets below 70. (Sometimes.)
