Scarfing It…

While my fashion experts are all busy being fashionable, I guess, I am having this burning desire to proclaim my new found love of scarves. They are, in my opinion, totally (with a valley girl accent) hot. In fact, they are the perfect accessory for even the simplest gals.
But confessions first. Up until now, I’ve never understood the idea around wearing a scarf as an accessory. Paired with a winter coat or jacket in chilly or freezing weather, I completely understood. In fact, I have always loved scarves for that purpose and wear them religiously in colder weather. But, wearing a scarf as part an outfit, an accessory, just never made much sense.
I remember one instance, earlier this year, when I even make a really snarky remark to a sister-in-law as she admired and then purchased a lovely scarf “just to wear.”
Then just the other day, when a huge shipment of designer scarves arrived, I tried one on. Instantly, my attitude transformed. My seemingly boring white top and jean ensemble looked flashy and stylish. I will admit, I looked hot and only found it shameful that my husband wasn’t around.
So here I am, eating my words, once again.
Do you have an opinion on designer scarves? Love ‘em? Hate ‘em? I’d like to hear. And to the naysayers, be careful what you say because, like myself, you may be eating your words for supper!
Later this afternoon we’ll hear all about the “scarfing” industry from two of my fashionistas and how, when, where and why scarves are in right now.

I only have two scarves, I like the look but I just don't have many. I love wearing necklaces so I don't usually wear a scarf, but I agree it's a good alternative to dress up a casual look.

I love the look, but am always self conscious. I have 3, wear them every now and then, and with out doubt, someone always asks me why I am wearing one in warm weather.
But who cares what they say right?!!! 
Love them!

I will have to agree on the summer scarf thing. Why create more misery in hot weather, right? Glad to know there's someone else out there like me.
