This is an Armstrong tradition, to have Chuck try out any new scarf I bring into the home. I picked this one up at American Apparel several months ago, thought I had forgotten to take it out of the bag before I threw the bag away, and then moped for several weeks about having tossed a brand new scarf. Turns out it was hiding underneath the mountain of ill-fitting T-shirts I have stacked in my closet, a pile I mowed down to make room for maternity clothes. And I was all, Chuck! Look! You get to pose after all! And look at how excited he is about it.
