Wardrobe Staple: Scarves

1.28.2012

I truly believe that an "essentials only" trip to Target is a myth.  An urban legend. The limit does not exist.

Anyway, on Thursday, since I had to pick up some first aid items for my mom and a binder for my classes, I figured I would stop into the Target that is inconveniently on my way home. I was determined: stuff for mom, binder, nothing else. Well not even 30 seconds into the store, I was greeted by a large sign stating 50% off, with a display of beautiful scarves underneath it. I just couldn't pass up this Mossimo scarf at just $7.48. 

Depending on the situation, I call scarves my "beginner" or my "finisher." Sometimes I base my outfits around a scarf, the way some people base their outfits around a bag or a pair of shoes (the beginner), and other times if I feel like an outfit needs a bit of oomph, I'll add a scarf (the finisher). Their versatility from season to season make them an absolute staple in my wardrobe. 

If you are a scarf lover like I am, than you simply MUST watch this video of 25 ways to wear a scarf, by Wendy of Wendy's Lookbook. After seeing it on The Purse Forum last spring, I made sure to bookmark it and every time I watch it, I find a new and fun way to wear my scarves. 

What is your favorite accessory? Are you a scarf fanatic like I am?

For two years, my fabulous DVF scarf has remained in my scarf box, unworn, with its tag still attached. Yes, I could wear it around my neck, or as a headband, but I really wanted a not so literal way to wear it.

And then my friend posted this video on Tumblr:

A turband! Duh! So perfect for beach days and bad/lazy hair days.
