  4. I hear you loud and clear CC, accessories maketh the woman (or man). I have a wide range of scarves and they make my work outfits so much more interesting....they jazz up an outfit. And are an inexpensive (relative) way to do so.

    Great post, gorgeous girl!

  21. Love, love, love scarves!I have six or seven, and I love pairing them with a basic tee and distressed jeans, or a simple black sheath.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I just couldn't resist this little giveaway and had to leave a few words.

    I've gone ahead and gotten some brightly colored tights to pair with darling dresses for the chilly season to come and can't help but think that this scarf would be the perfect last addition to my winter wardrobe (and I LOVE the turquoise color!) Brilliant and beautiful wrapped (hopefully around my neck) in one!

    Thank you and have a wonderful weekend! :)

  23. ...love those scarfs...can wait to debut soon!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I know my go to clothing item when I can't figure out how to make an outfit feel more special is definately the scarf! My new personal favorite is a deep violet cashmere scarf from India, and talk about a conversation piece. Nothing else in my wardrobe seems to cause more of a stir! Wonderful post and seeing all these beautiful scarves makes me want to go shopping...

    ReplyDelete
  25. CC! It's been awhile... those scarves are to-die-for, they're so perfect for welcoming the fall. I haven't add any scarf to my closet... Should find some (or probably, win the giveaways... If I'm lucky enough. lol) Thank you for the inspirations! <3

  30. Nothing like a scarf..A scarf can turn a plain white tee into the best outfit..More appealing. I always say dont over do it but One main accessory like a head band, scarf or earrings can bring your outfit out..Great Post! xx:Aly

  31. These scarves are so lovely. I used to avoid printed scarves, now I love them - they add the perfect pop to a basic understated outfit.

  36. I am just about always in a scarf; I have a neck injury and thankfully I love the way they look too!
    That Erdem one is rather beautiful, and the Westwood one lovely (I love that whole outfit actually), but I'm fancying the Richard Nicoll ones, particularly the second. Just gorgeous.

  43. Scarves are my ABSOLUTE favorite. They are so functional and amazing. I love that there are SO MANY different kinds. And I love them when I'm having a bad hair day, and I can leave my hair in a messy bun and just distract from it with a scarf. LOVE this post!

    Have a wonderful weekend, CC!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Scarves are such a versatile accessory. You can tie it around your waist in lieu of a belt, you can loosely tie it around your neck, you can cover your hair in lieu of a hat. The possibilties are endless!

    Fantabulous post!

    ReplyDelete
