why i own seventeen scarves in florida

Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. Every time I stumble upon a thrift store, I immediately head for the winter accessories. The current climate has nothing to do with my love for the ornate strips of fabric. Not only are they always plentiful in my area, but their price point makes them all the more attractive (~$2!!).

There is no clothing item that parallels the scarf in its versatility or elegance. No two scarves are the same. I'm not talking about the silk bandanas or the frumpy flannel scarves you can find in every department store come December. Think sheer, think sparkly: think anything! If you can imagine it, it probably exists on a scarf. 


  
(not my kind of scarf, but cute)

Wear it as a top (in countless forms), wear it as a bandeau bra, wear it as a belt, wear it as a dress, wear it as a pashmina: you can find a use for them in any season.

Now, my personal favorites are my sparkly teal and purple cheetah print. The summer heat is unbearable if I wear anything other than my scarf tied like a bandeau bra under my favorite overalls.

You can wear it Christina Aguilera style, which is one of the cutest ways. 

 This may contain: a woman in short shorts and a white hat

Bonus points if you have a large metal ring (who knows where to buy one, let a girl know), which truly provides limitless opportunities for styling.

Take advantage of the upcoming season and wear your scarves to their fullest potential with your fluffy coats, but don't let them collect dust in the warmer months! Maybe you've even unlocked a new section at the thrift for your Sunday shopping ;)
