I have an absolute scarf fetish. Don’t look in my drawers – they’ll pop out like snakes-in-a-can. Just kidding, those are just the ones I don’t wear so much, but can’t part with. Once you find a scarf in your color palette, with a print that mimics the lines as your features, you will be hooked. Hint: If your features are more rounded, choose floral motifs, or fluid lines. If your face is more angular, geometric shapes will highlight the drama. A little bit of straight and curved lines? Go with a mixed motif, such as paisley. No, I’m not smart enough to make this stuff up – read the “the Triumph of Individual Style” by Carla Mathis. Brilliant.
The average marriage lasts only half as long as your relationship with a truly compatible scarf. Scarves are one of the few accessories that you can keep forever, do serious multitasking, and can make you look far more “Euro”, less “unstylish American” whilst traveling. They can be your guardian angel, by covering your sun-burnt spaghetti-topped shoulders so you can enter that choice cathedral. They can help brighten up your face after that long, exhausting flight, or simply cover your bird nested coif. They can add a bright and cheery note to even the most minimalist of black capsule travel wardrobes.
Echo brand always has fabulous and current-patterned scarves at the best prices. I was very happy to find out that they have an on-line store. Cute hats and other accessories as well. And about the “scarfs”? Yes, I have an English degree, and spell-check. There’s a nicely detailed explanation at http://www.echodesign.com.
