Wrap it Up

One of the reasons I'm anxiously waiting for the fall weather to kick in is so I can wear scarves. Scarves are the quintessential cold weather accessory for many reasons. Aside from the obvious notion that scarves keep you warm on brisk days, I love how they come in so many different forms. They can be plain, patterned, wool, cotton, silk, long, short...I could go on forever. Plus, there are a million ways to rock a scarf, whether it simply hangs free, is wrapped around your neck multiple times, or is a product of your own unique creation. Scarves can be worn any which way you choose, making them perfect for everyone, regardless of style preference. While all of these characteristics make scarves great, the best part is that they can quickly alter a shirt, dress, or sweater for the better. A plain white tee can seem ordinary but transforms into a chic outfit when paired with a colorful or uniquely patterned scarf. You could wear that same white shirt everyday with a different scarf and each time your outfit would look fresh, fashionable, and new. Trust me, I've done it plenty of times throughout the laziness and stress of college.

Since some scarves can cost as much as 50 or even 100 dollars, here are some affordable, adorable options...
