Wrap it Up

July 7th, 2008


There’s no denying that summer has officially arrived. That is, everywhere except the Bay Area. While I was hoping to return to work with a hint of color to my skin, I got to pull out some of the light-weight scarves I’ve been recently buying by the bundles. This Metallic Stripe Scarf was my default the whole time, with a medley of deep blues that complements jeans perfectly and playful tassel fringes. Though I paired it with coats and high boots while I was up North, it will look just as chic worn with a flowy white dress and silver sandals for legitimate summer weather.

    You wear a summer scarf so well, I love it. I always look a tad foolish with a scarf in the warmer weather!

    I love the scarf! Even in the burning heat of New York, I manage to wear my new camel Pashmina. I think scarves are the perfect accessory because they manage to bring a whole new look to any plain or lacking outfit.

    We’ve been getting lots of erratic and unseasonable weather in Michigan too. I dig it — normally I’d be sweltering in a cotton sun dress every single day. At least this fosters some variety!

    Im a big advocate of the light scarf in summer – esp in London, 4 seasons and a storm all in a day over here. xf

    i like wearing scarves all year round, but i guess that is down to the fact i live in london and we have such horrible weather here… we have had nothing but rain.. and that’s what the brits call summer :(

    Thanks for the comment! I love that scarf, I wish I had some light weight colorful scarves for the fall. But I’m sure you can find a great blazer in any thrift store, they seem to be everywhere! Good luck :D
