I seem to start every post with the words "it is cold in the Northeast'. But. BOY. It was COLD. It was miserably cold. We've been in the 40s for the past few days, below 40 if you count the wind-chill. And it rained. All. The. Time. If this is the mini-ice-age then I'm going to look for warmer climates..
But then, all of a sudden, half way through yesterday, it became warm. And then rapidly really warm.
The saying is true. If you don't like the weather in Boston wait an hour. Granted the saying is only true for spring/summer. Most of the other time it is just plain cold.
Anyway.
What can take your outfit from drab to fab in no time, ye ask?
A scarf.
Throw it over anything and your look is immediately more polished and put together.
And since it is spring, and since we all want to look fresh - a WHITE scarf. I've been on a white kick for a while - hampered only by my inability to keep white as clean as I would like to. White - the right white, without yellow, but a pure, shining white - tends to illuminate the face, make it look younger, brighter.
Oh, and handily white kind of goes with anything. Except other, mismatched white.
With that in mind here is a selection, almost all a bit ethnic in inspiration:
DREAM:
**Saks: This is almost two scarves in one, depending on how you wear it (LUST):
This Rag&Bone one made me laugh:
WISH:
Club Monaco (Kinda Perfect, don't ya think?)
Yoox:
Zara (no, it isn't white, but the frosty, icy blue can act like a white - same, btw goes for a very pale pink):
JCrew (on Sale!)
Finally, to assist you ladies with your scarf wrapping steez here is a very handy instructional video. Watch and learn!
