Scarves: Find One Best Suited For You

Hello girls!  How's your Wednesday going??  I hope all is well!  Sadly, Indiana keeps piling on the snow, and I know we aren't the only state faced with chilly days and bitter cold nights.  Ready for spring yet?  I know I sure am!  

Hopefully today's post will help get you through the cold, or at least help you look stylish, while doing so!  A key accessory one should have this time of year is a scarf.  Many of you might already have one or two in your closet, maybe even a dozen, (with some out there being so reasonably priced).  It doesn't hurt to add a few more to your collection.  With going out in this weather, most of us have to wear a winter coat, and a lot of the time this limits us showing off our own personal style.  A scarf is an easy and fabulous way of adding a special touch to that winter coat of yours.  Plus it helps in keeping you warm!

I've put scarves into three categories for you.  I think breaking them down into categories is a helpful way to show you different types/styles and how you can wear them.  

Group #1
THE WARM COMFYS 


Any of the scarves from this group would be a perfect choice for those of us who are having to endure this bitter winter!  Solid colors can be paired with almost any coat or sweater.  Fun printed ones are out there as well and can add that extra pop to any outfit.  Ashley Tisdale wears both the patterned and solid colored ones well, don't you think?  I'm loving the Scandinavain Pattern Knit Scarf, which is the gray one with the white  hearts.  So cute! And the Camel Knot Tassel Knit scarf from Topshop is a great shade! What's your favorite?

Group #2
THE WRAP AROUNDS


These types of scarves have really become properly in the past year or so.  I have a echo leopard print one, which I adore!  It looks pretty similar to the leopard print one featured in this set.  I love how you can wrap it around as little or as much as you like.  Leaving it longer or wrapping it around completely!  Mine definitely keeps my neck warm!  Although I'm not a big fan of Lindsay Lohan, I think both her and Kim Kardashian look great in their scarves!  My favorite from the bunch is probably the Snowflake Ski Snood, but I also like the Circle scarf of Life in White.  Which ones are you eyeing?

This group is better suited for those of you who live in a warmer area.   Although they look good on everybody, these are made of lighter material so they aren't going to help too much in keeping you warmer.  They will certainly keep you stylish though! For those of us who are experiencing a bad winter, you can still buy these, just maybe wait to wear them until spring.  

Nicole Richie is one of the best at sporting chic scarves.  She's got the look down!   I am drawn to the animal print ones and the Missoni Crochet Knit zigzag scarf is amazing as well! Could you imagine spending $800 on a scarf though??  I know I couldn't!! Which one would you buy, if price wasn't an issue?

Well, girls, I hope this scarf post was helpful and maybe you spotted one or two you have to go out and buy!  I'm still on that shopping ban, trying hard to make use of what I already own, and stop spending money on things I don't necessarily need, but mainly just really want!  It's tough!


Have a wonderful day!!
