One of the greatest thing about scarves is how they can completely change an outfit. Case in point: what I wore today.
Black V-neck sweater. Black pencil skirt. Black tights and shoes.
Here's what it looked like, pre-scarf:
Look at the difference when I added a leopard-print scarf I got at Target last year. I simply draped it over my shoulders and secured it in the front by slipping the ends through a $1.99 ring I got a while back at a beauty supply store.
Scarf: Target
V-Neck: Ann Taylor Outlet
Skirt: New York and Company a few years ago
I think the scarf is actually slimming, as it slightly minimized my large chest area and draws the eye downward, somewhat elongating the silhouette. (Don't I sound Tim Gunn-esque?)
I love leopard print anyway, and I also like the touches of red in the scarf that bring some brightness to the outfit.
The ring I'm using to hold the scarf ends together is so big and a little crazy, so I never wear it as a ring...but I think it works fine in this capacity.
Ready to face Monday with an updated look!

Hi Cindy, Accessories really do make the outfit. I laughed when you mentioned Tim Gunn. From that point on, I heard his voice talking. I love Project Runway. I always wonder how the scarf holder stays on. Must be a snug fit for the scarf, yes?

You are so right about this Cindy (and I enjoyed the Tim Gunn interlude) : > I try to add a scarf most days for just this reason - to add spark to my neutrals. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for one of those rings, I never would have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf does indeed make the outfit shine. I really like the way you illustrated what a big difference it made. I adore the scarf!
ReplyDeleteLove your leopard scarf! Using the ring to cinch the scarf is a very clever idea! Thanks very much also for your kind and encouraging comment on my post.
