Scarf it up

denim shirt berska     scarf berska      white pants thrifted & altered    shoes massimo dutti


This is how you would see me walking around the city today plus my headphones to enjoy the music while walking. I walk about 40 min each day to come and go to work which is in the city center. It's a valuable me time that I both exercise and clear my mind.
On to my outfit , now.This outfit evolves around my scarf. While I'm doing my collages I noticed that I've got all my basic colors covered and that I've got many scarves that I could use to introduce pattern and tie together my tops and bottoms.
Scarves are such a valuable accessory when it comes to adding some interest into basic outfits. It's also a cheap way to enrich a wardrobe unless of course you go for Hermes.
So , what's your relationship with scarves and how often do you wear them and how many have you got? I've got 26 and counting.

    You do have an enviable collection of scarves, and you wear them to great effect!
    I can't resist vintage square scarves, silk if I can find them, they are often really cheap at jumble sales and markets. Haven't counted, but I have a lot, all colours and patterns! xxx

    I've probably got 26 scarves. If I like one I rarely give it away.

    I have a friend who paints silk scarves so many are her creations. If we get together I have to be sure I don't wear a scarf I've bought at Target or other discount store. She goes on a big rant when she thinks about people who won't buy nice scarves!

    Come summer June/July/August I usually switch to necklaces. It's just too humid her in the Mid-Atlantic region.

    You have more scarves than I do! I imagine I have 15 or so and I know that I don't use mine enough. I drive 55 miles to go to work and I envy your walk.

    Hi Angie! I immediately fell in love with your blog and with your charming style!
    And you have so beautiful smile… which reminds me the beautiful seas and sky of the Crete Island, where I and my husband have stayed for the honeymoon! ;-)

      Thanks for your kind words!It's so nice to hear good words for my country by real people from all over the world instead of economists and politicians judging the economy.

    Like Terri, I envy your walking to work. When I move to NYC that is what I will do : > You look fabulous in your colorful scarf. And you're right, it's the best way to change the look of an outfit. I think I have about 20 scarves, but I don't wear them enough : >

    I have over 60(!!!) but have decided to keep just 12 in my wardrobe, those that really make a difference to a look. The rest has disappeared into the basement to wait for fall. I will then see if there are any I'd like to use.

    I agree - great accessory!

    Best, Annie

    I love, love, love scarves!!! I have a very expensive one by Chanel. I got it on ebay. My husband was going to let me get an Hermes, but I loved the Chanel most. I have many other scarves- some silk, wool, cotton. Some scarves my husband brought me back from Afghanistan, Iraq- these are very special. No matter what the season, or what I'm wearing, a scarf always makes it better. I'm glad you are enjoying yours. I really love this look from top to toe!!
