I've never been one to stick with a particular style.

ride the recent trends with gusto,
and relish experimenting with any & every style 
as if I'm in a constant state of celebration for Halloween.

Instead of dressing like a fairy, vampire, or slutty sailor,
I opt for dabbling in genres like hipster, sorority girl & Northeastern trust-funder.

Flipping through styles allows me to constantly play a respectable form of dress up.

A couple of summers back,
as summer scarves started appearing on every girls neck,
my sister rolled her eyes at me one day
as I plopped down at the breakfast table.

"What the heck is the purpose of a scarf at this time of year?"

Erm, I don't know. 

To look awesome?

It's probably true.
In Texas, there really was no need for a scarves
except to serve as decoration for your decolletage.

But now that I live in Europe,
I realize their merit
as they constantly provide the perfect transition 
between the constantly fluxuating temperatures.

Hot bus to cold street.
Warm day out to chilly night on a terrace.
There never seems to be a day when I don't realize
 how glad I am to have the extra layer.

As I begin to plan for my summer travel schedule & packing list,
a new scarf is definitely on my check-list.

I'd love to invest in one of the amazing scarves...
but until I'm ready to trade my awesome job
for a more lucrative one,
I'll just have to enjoy these from a distance.

What do you think about summer scarves?
Completely awesome or Completely ridiculous?

  1. This made me laugh because I AM the crazy scarf lady! Living in Scotland means that it is always wise to have the option of another layer, and having limited funds means that a scarf is the cheapest way of changing the look of an outfit.
    Aaah, the wonderful-ness of scarves :-)

  2. I love summer scarves! Ok, maybe not when its in the 90's but definitely good for those transition weeks when there's still a little coolness in the air.

  4. I love #7, but I would never spend that much on a scarf! The Missoni is cute as well.

  5. I love 2 and 3, theres something magical about them.

    And the remote that I have works for Nikon D60 D80 D90 D3000 D5000 D5100 D7000, but you should be able to get a remote for any nikon that has a wireless sensor in it.

  6. Completely awesome! I wear scarves year-round - just go lighter in summer. I loooove so many of these! 2, 4 and 6 are my faves. Just gorgeous, and they'd look fantastic with a tan!
