Blog commenting is a funny thing and I find that I have a love/hate relationship with that feature.  You see, on my personal blog, I’ve turned them completely off and kinda like it that way.  Of course, I love to get comments – I mean, who doesn’t?  But I also like to read blogs and not comment at all.  It takes the pressure of writing something clever, witty or memorable – or writing anything at all.  Sometimes, I just like things to effortless.  Some blogs I read the comments become more popular than the post and often times they take on a very negative  tone.  Why are there so many rude folks, mostly women, that feel so obliged to spew nastiness, I always wonder?

I’m glad none of them come over here.  Quite frankly, I’ve enjoy your comments and especially on the scarf giveaway.  I do read every comment that comes my way and always learn a thing or two.  And today, I’m going to post of few in case the rest of you don’t scroll through the comment section to read them yourself.

Heather Says:

Awesome! I like scarves, but I never really know how to use them as anything other than to keep warm in winter. It’d be nice to have a free one to work with.

Well, Heather, how about some linkage to help you on your way to becoming the scarf wearing, scarf tying, scarf stylin’ master?

Christa, from enSTYLEpedia has a few ideas here and even posted this tutorial found here.  Thanks Christa!  PS-love your blog and would love to have you contribute to Recessionista once in a while!

Scarves are so hot, they even have jokes about them!  Now, that’s getting serious.

Megan Santini Says:

A joke about a scarf:

Q: What did the big furry hat say to the warm woolly scarf?
A: “You hang around while I go on ahead.”

And YES, scarves are the P E R F E C T accessory for all you expecting mamas out there.

Katie Rees Says:

I love scarves. I fell in love with them while in Italy last winter and now I can’t get enough. A new scarf would be the perfect accessory for my pregnant belly!

Like I said, scarves are an inexpensive way to make any outfit go from drab to fab!

Andrea Says:

Oh a scarf would be lovely for those of us who love ‘em over necklaces we can’t afford!

Debra P Says:

Very lovely! A scarf would spice things up and add some fashion flair

Ashley Says:

A scarf is one of the best accessories!! They can make or break an outfit. I love them!

Joanna Smith Says:

I love love scarves! They are such a fun way to transform your look from ordinary to euro-chic! I feel very Kathryn Hepburn when I wear one! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

Mary Says:

It is amazing how a scarf can make a whole new looking outfit!

Thanks of all your comments even if I have to bribe you with a giveaway!

Scarves are still $9 for a few more days and our last week for Soles4souls!

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.
