ah, texas: where it's hotter than hell at least 8 months a year, where you can't really buy a decent coat, and where you learn to layer even in the spring because the weather is schizophrenic.
side note: because it's so dang hot outside, often i find myself carrying a jacket in the heat of summer, because folks can be a little overly excited with the air conditioning.
anyway.
maybe that absurd level of heat is why i adore winter clothes so much - pea coats and boots and sweaters... i love it all. perhaps this is because i rarely got to utilize them as a kid. who knows? however, i wanted to take a moment and discuss one of my most favorite cool-weather accessories.
the scarf.
le sigh.
i love them all. i love that you can dress them up or down, and that they come in so many varied patterns and materials. i love that there are about 10000 ways to wear them (though my favorite is what i call the "alfie" style - more on that in a bit).
i only own a handful of scarves, because... well, it's hot in texas, yo. but i was thrilled beyond belief to be able to make use of my paltry collection last winter here in nashville.
here are a few scarves that i really love, all courtesy of pinterest. :)
this one happens to include one of my favorite colors - teal.
i love the bright colors of this one, and the flower is a great addition.
and now, for something completely different:
i love the muted tones of this one:
and for those of you who are not familiar, here's alfie (and an example of my favorite way to wear a scarf):
(the 2004 incarnation, anyway.)
what's your favorite cool-weather accessory?
