It’s important to keep warm this fall. but it’s also important to look chic while doing it! One of my favorite ways to keep warm is layering. A good way to add a quick layer on the way out the door is a scarf! You can never have enough, especially because scarves have become a year-round accessory. Something that keeps you warm, adds colors, layering, an accent, and is beautiful…yes, please! These days, the definition of scarf is so broad, including, wraps, different materials, styles, and prints.

I loved the idea behind the bi-color scarves, but decided to take the idea and run with it. I decided I needed something a little bit warmer and tried two scarves together. I then added a brooch to the scarf to add some excitement and creativity to it. It’s fun to experience and try different colors together. Here, I wrapped it on my mom real quick to see how it would turn out.
Well, there are a ton more scarves out there, but here a few trends and examples to get you started!
