“Money doesn’t buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, add a pretty scarf, gray shoes, and a wonderful bag, and it will always be elegant.” – Carolina Herrera
For me, one of the best things about this time of year are scarves. I love scarves, whether their purpose is to keep you warm, or as an added accessory. When I was in Italy this past summer, I saw so many women wearing scarves, even when it was hot outside. Scarves add a touch of excitement to any outfit. The scarf I’m wearing here is one of my favourites, especially because I bought it in Paris on our honeymoon three years ago. I remember it being one of the most fun shopping experiences, where the sales associate folded and draped various styles on me.
For my outfit, I folded the scarf into the basic bias fold, then draped it around my neck. From there, I tied one knot using one of the draped sides, and then simply fed the other piece through the knot. I also like the look of just folding the scarf diagonally into a triangle and then tying it around my neck.
