lightweight

I firmly believe that a girl can never have too many scarves.  If you're trying to get a gift for me and don't have any other ideas, you can never go wrong with a scarf.  Besides its wondrous ability to add and seal in warmth, it's also an immediate outfit game-changer.  Any simple tee-and-jeans combo can be elevated by simply adding a scarf.  It's a cost-effective way to refresh your wardrobe in any season.  I've got plenty of fluffy knit scarves for frigid Chicago winters, but I also have a fair share of lightweight scarves that I like to pull out on cool summer evenings.

Here's my collection of woven, printed scarves.  I wear them incessantly.  As in, everyday.  It's always smart to get a variety of colours/colour families so you have something that goes with any outfit.  You also don't have to spend big bucks to get fun patterns.  I didn't spend over $15 for any of the ones below (maybe except the gifts).  In fact, my new favourite, the watercolour print in the middle, was on sale for $5 at Charming Charlie's!

You should also get different shapes and sizes of scarves.  The silk and polyester versions below are all long and skinny, except the kerchief in the middle.  

These were all gifts or hand-me-downs so I'm not sure where they're from!

Light scarves are perfect for evenings out because you can roll them up really tiny and stick them in your purse.

I will leave you with my favourite how-to video when it comes to wearing scarves, made by one of my favourite fashion bloggers.

Thanks for reading.
