(you can see a little bit of mannequin shoulder peeking out…)After being playfully chided by Christina recently on the volume of scarves I must own, I decided to try to compose a photograph. I didn’t nearly do the collection justice, in fact the whole endeavor turned out a little awkward so it’ll have to be a topic I revisit. This poor mannequin is wrapped in maybe half of my scarf collection. I didn’t bundle her in all the practical winter numbers; nor did I bust out the 30+ vintage scarves I’ve collected over the years that I used to regularly tie in my hair (I could match any outfit, no matter the color scheme).
Scarves are easy, they add color and texture to an outfit. They can even help distract from figure flaws and/or ill-fitting shirts on laundry day. Scarves are fun to shop for and buy, being practical and affordable. They make great gifts. They keep your neck warm, preventing you from needing a heavier jacket or another sweater. And if you accidentally buy one that’s a little too sparkly, your 3-year-old niece will love it… so really, you can’t go wrong. Long story short, a collection of scarves is never a bad thing. Especially with the added bonus that it’s easy to store a lot of them in a small space.
