Problem: Article: Cooler weather is scarf weather. A Burberry scarf is best matched with clothes you would wear in cooler weather, like jackets and sweaters. As such, this wardrobe addition will usually see the most action during autumn and winter, with a few appearances in the spring, as well. When wearing a coat or jacket, opt for a more stylish variety than a casual type. Trench coats, pea coats, leather jackets, blazers, and sports jackets are all fair game. A Burberry scarf, with all its class, tends to look better with styles like these than with fluffy down ski coats, though. You can wear a Burberry scarf without donning a coat or jacket, but keep in mind that your outfit should still look appropriate for cooler weather. You can work with both short and long sleeves, but long pants or long leggings typically work better visually than shorts, capri pants, or short skirts. Since most Burberry scarves have a luxurious appearance and an interesting print, it generally works best if you avoid wearing other prints or accessories that might compete for attention. When too many separate components of an outfit stand out, they can clash. Wearing a bold print scarf with a bold print blouse, for instance, might create an ensemble that is far too busy to please the average eye. Similarly, your accessories should work with the scarf, not against it. A simple yet stylish hat will usually work great, as will a classy pair of boots If you opt for jewelry, position the bling away from your scarf. Bracelets and rings work better than earrings, but earrings still work better than necklaces. Tuck the scarf beneath a coat or jacket, hiding most of it underneath the other piece. If the color or print of the scarf stands out well enough, you can add a chic yet subtle bit of flair to otherwise drab-colored outerwear. The way you wear your jacket and the way you tie your scarf can change the nature of this highlight. On days when you feel like leaving your jacket open, tie your scarf in a way that allows the ends to drape down over your front, thereby allowing more of the pattern to show through. On chillier days when you need to keep your coat buttoned up, tie your scarf in a way that keeps the majority of material at the neck. Even though it's best to avoid wearing a bold Burberry scarf with other bold prints, there are ways for you to mix patterns to create greater visual interest. Typically, it can be done if one or both patterns are somewhat subdued. Pinstripes are a famously subtle pattern and can be paired with other patterns more easily than most. Consider wearing a pinstripe shirt or jacket with a classic checkered Burberry scarf. If you're feeling a little bolder, you could even throw on a floral print scarf with your pinstriped jacket. Burberry scarves made from luxurious materials like cashmere and silk are easy to wear without outerwear. When you choose to wear your scarf in this manner, make sure to coordinate the colors and patterns with those of your entire outfit. Cashmere and silk scarves are easy to pair with business attire or chic daytime weekend wear. You can match casual materials, like linen and wool blends, with your outfit in a similar manner, but they tend to work best with outfits that are well arranged yet still fairly casual. A sweater paired with dark jeans might work well for these varieties, for example. Another way to create visual interest when wearing a Burberry scarf is to pair together different materials with different textures. To prevent the ensemble from looking too loud or outrageous, though, it is best to do this when you are working with solids or subtle prints. For instance, try wearing a smooth cashmere scarf with a stiff wool coat, or a wool blend scarf with a cashmere sweater. You can also mix masculine and feminine elements. Try throwing a silk or cashmere scarf over a leather jacket. You can wear a Burberry scarf with a dressy outfit, but you can also wear one with a fairly casualyet well put togetheroutfit. In fact, the same scarf will usually work with both types of apparel. If you have a black checkered Burberry scarf, you can wear it with a pea coat and pinstripe dress pants one day, then wear it with a fitted t-shirt and black jeans the next day. The day after that, you could wear it over a sweater with skinny blue jeans.
Summary: Wear the scarf with seasonal clothes. Make the scarf the focal point. Use the scarf as a highlight. Consider mixing patterns. Match the scarf with the outfit. Mix textures. Be versatile.

Problem: Article: If the hole is close to an electrical outlet or phone line, make sure you check inside it so you don't hit any wires while you work. Feel around the hole with your hands, or peer inside using a flashlight. If you find a wire, take note of where it is located and plan to work carefully around it when you repair the hole. Use a ruler and a level to measure and draw a rectangle around the perimeter of the hole, then cut it out using a utility knife or drywall saw. This will enable you to neatly patch the hole with a piece of drywall the precise size you need, rather than making an irregular patch. Cut the backer boards about 4 inches (10.2cm) longer than the height of the hole. Line the first backer board vertically along the left edge of the hole. Use one hand to hold it in place tightly while using a drill to screw two drywall screws through the intact drywall just below the hole, and two through the drywall just above the hole. Use the same technique to install another backer board along the right edge of the hole. Pine or other soft wood backer boards work well for repairing drywall, since they're easy to screw into. Be sure to hold the boards in such a way that the screws won't scratch or puncture your hands when they pop through the backer boards. Measure the thickness of the drywall and purchase a piece of drywall large enough to patch the hole. Cut it to size using the drywall saw so that it will fit neatly into the hole. Place the drywall patch into the hole and screw it into the backing boards on either side, spacing the screws 6 inches (15.2cm) apart. Most hardware and home goods stores sell scraps of drywall in different shapes and sizes. Look for one large enough to patch your hole so you don't have to buy a complete sheet of drywall, which will probably be more than you need. Load a joint knife with joint compound and apply it to joints, the seams where the patch and the wall connect. Quickly apply paper tape to the joints and use a taping knife to smooth the tape into place, making sure there are no bubbles or lumps. Apply a second coating of joint compound and let it dry. You can add a little water to the compound to thin it out, making it easier to spread and feather out along the wall for even blending. Be sure to remove excess compound as you go, so that the transition between the patch and the wall is as smooth as possible. Pull the taping knife in one direction. Laying the tape evenly can be tricky. It's worth starting over if you lay it crookedly, since the tape is important for blending the patch with the wall. Once the first few coats are dry, smooth the edges by sanding them with a fine grit sandpaper. Fill in any gouges and uneven areas by applying another thin coat of compound. Let that dry, and continue sanding and adding more compound until the surface is even and smooth. Wait at least 24 hours between sandings. The compound should be completely dry, or you may create more ruts and gouges instead of smoothing the surface. After the last sanding, use a primer to get the area ready for painting. When the primer is dry, paint the area using the same brush or paint applicator you originally used to paint the wall.
Summary:
Check for wires. Cut a rectangle. Add backer boards. Install a drywall patch. Tape the joints. Sand the area and add another coat. Prime and paint the area.
