Creating a Scarf Collection (2013)

Fall is here and winter is just around the corner! This is the season for scarves and you will see some women wearing them but the question is, "How do you style them?"

Scarves are associated with colder weather but actually, you can wear them all year round, and not just around your neck but from head to toe! You can wear it as a headband, a belt, or even dress up your purse! There are hundreds of ways to wear a scarf!

Here are 3 ways on how to build your scarf collection and how to wear them:

1. Invest in neutral colors: Buy black, white, grey, brown, and blue. These colors will match all your clothes and are worth collecting. You will wear them for years to come. Make sure there are no snags on them before you purchase them. Always hand wash scarves before you wear them in case the colors bleed so they won't ruin your other clothes in the wash. 

2. Buy your favorite color(s): If you love it, you will wear it often! You don't need to spend a fortune on scarves; check out garage sales and you will be amazed to find brand new scarves with tags still on them and some with designer labels. Hoard them ASAP! Haggle and you should be able to get them for $1.00 or $2.00 dollars. 

3. Be adventurous with print: Collect animal prints, floral print, and geometric designs. These kinds of scarves add pizzazz to your outfit and you will definitely get compliments or at the very least, you'll get noticed for your fashion style. Something as simple as wearing a scarf can make you smile and brighten up your day! 

Happy scarf hunting! Wear a scarf everyday in different ways! =)
