If you're anything like me, you've spent the past few months staring at Olivia Palermo's pandemic street style snaps, envious of how amazing her face scarf game is, but also slightly judging her for not just wearing a real mask. 

Well, I'm here to blow your mind. And most unfortunately, I can't even take credit for it.

My best friend Christine just pointed out a real game changer of a realization to me. Seems I'm not the expert sleuth I once was, because I never noticed that upon closer inspection, more times than not, she's actually wearing a real mask underneath her silk scarf situation! Her not-so-dirty little secret given away by the ear straps peaking out. 

Further confirmation that Olivia Palermo is the most brilliant, creative, devoted-to-her-look person in fashion. In true OP fashion, she even has husband Johannes doing the same!
