The scarf is the “quintessential feminine-most accessory in your wardrobe, next to your platform peep-toe pumps, of course.” Allow it to be the pillar of strength and main attraction to your evolving style this spring and summer.

Explore the ageless and timeless appeal, versatility and immediate sophistication that the scarf can convey wrapped around your neck, waist, head or delicious handbag (especially the handles of lighter color leather bags to preserve the material so it does not stain). If you are environmentally conscious about where your leather comes from and want to have sustainable leather for your bags, you can always go onto sites such as Parker Clay to get yours.

There are many shapes, styles and fabrics that provide an affordable fresh alternative and elegant finish to any outfit whether covered loosely around the neckline or tied close in lieu of a necklace. Be sure to glam up your favorite LBD or drape a scarf across your shoulders for a fashionable chill chaser.

Since Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores, I thought I would share this informative and fun “scarf-tying video” I found on-line at http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/scarf-video.

Perhaps a favorite ultra-savvy Fashionista way is to tie on superior scarf chic and breezy style with a head scarf. Worn in decades past, present and future, it is extreme style for all women, all hair types and lengths that can save a bad hair day, cover gray and protect you from the sun’s strongest damaging ray while delivering instant glamour even on a rainy day.

Call it vintage or modern, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate classic style.

With style and gratitude,
