Scarfs and Wraps

Typically, you can wear a scarf that matches the colors of your outfit perfectly. In fact that is how I was brought up in the 60's and 70' and 80's and 90's. But all of a sudden you can now wear a scarf with a very different pattern and all sorts of colors, wrap it around your neck with a cotton blouse of a different color and a cardigan sweater that is even different from those. Shocking! Yes. Unusual, it sure seems it.
Uncomfortable-perhaps if you are a person that likes everything to match.

The color schemes are very similar from store to store: grey, limey greens, taupy purples, red and rusts, greens in various shades...

Scarfs range from sale prices like $2.99 to mucho bucks especially on the materials the scarves are made of: mohair, wool, silk, rayon, cotton.

I was just in Old Navy last night, peeking at their 50 percent off of their clearance prices. Cotton scarfs of all sorts of prints and little cotton balls of of the edges were only $3.00 How many scarves can you have? Not enough I guess, but I again, didn't want to be spend thrifty but certainly would have walked out with 2-3 scarfs.

Many scarfs are made very wide and can be used as a wrap. I have done that when it is still warm but a bit chilly at night. Now you can undo your scarf and just wrap it around your shoulders.

If you don't want to wear your scarf all day long, and it gets a bit uncomfortable with the temperatures (especially if you have hot flashes like me), take your scarf and tie it on the handle of your pocketbook or wrap it around your waist. When you need it, you will have it.

There are many ways to tie a scarf on your body, experiment and be in style.
