Scarves in the summertime

I love scarves yet I hardly ever wear them anywhere other than around my neck. This sheer camel colored vintage scarf I found in my grandma's dresser. The rose print reminds me of her love for flowers and the hours spent playing dress up at her house. I am a devout user of scarves in the winter, but why my neglect in the summer? I've decided that a delicate scarf is so pretty for summer, especially as a head wrap or headband. And, it can even be worn as a more BoHo hair accessory. The 1950s knew that a scarf was versatile and darling. Let's bring that back, shall we? 

There are some absurdly pretty scarves on sale at Anthropologie right now. I am sure you can find a beauty at a flea market of thrift store for a great steal. But here are some for your viewing pleasure. All three color palettes are great for summertime (or even a pop of color and reminder of sunny days in the cold of winter).
Summer Fairisle Scarf
Otero Scarf
Whirling Spin Scarf
Can you imagine how bright and cheery this one would be as a head wrap adorned with beachy locks? 
Scarves definitely fall in the category of DIY. You can use them in your house as a tablecloth, to refurbish a pillow, add print and color, or even to wrap a gift. What is your go to scarf style and scarf DIY?

  1. I love scarves and pareos.....many collected on my travels. It's nice to see them year round. I too love to use them as table runners and a splash on color thrown over a couch or chair in my living room. You look beautiful with the scarf in the Boho look....Thanks for sharing! I will have to go through my scarf drawers and organize them....summer and winter.
