I believe a simple piece like a scarf can add that something special to any outfit and be worn all year round, which brings me to the conclusion of totally agreeing with Rebecca Bloomwood in "Shapoholic" when she just couldn't resist buying that vivid silk green scarf. If you know what I'm talking about and have seen the movie (one of my favorites) you win extra points. This reminds me, after I show you the five ways to style a summer scarf, to get out the dvd and watch it (for maybe the hundredth time) because I can't hide the fact that in many ways I can relate to Rebecca, she's such a character and the movie is just so fun and easy-going, always puts a smile on my face. Have you seen it?
Back to the scarf in hand. Here are the five ways I would wear a scarf, in the hopes of making my outfit more fashionable and more unique. I hope you enjoy it and this gives you some ideas of ways to spice up your look next time you want to experiment with something different.
1. Tie the scarf to your handbag
This technique in my opinion can make your look a lot more interesting, plus stylish, girlie and next thing you know everyone else is doing it. I really like it especially for days when you're wearing casual shorts and a tee, but you want your accessories to pop. Look at how awesome a purse looks with a scarf wrapped around it. This gets me thinking that even an old handbag that has be worn lots with the help of a scarf would look like brand new. Personally, I'm looking forward to sporting this look more often. Best thing about it is that you can change the scarfs up to match your outfit.
2. Tie the scarf as a bracelet
Another fun way to take your outfit to the next level, by turning your scarf into one big bracelet. Leave your bracelets behind and try this fresh new take that may easily become your new favorite summer trend. I know I can easily get used to it! There's no wrong way of doing it, just tie it around your wrist in a way that looks good to you and you're set to get lots of compliments or stares because of your one of a kind style idea. Embrace it and allow it to speak for itself.
3. Turn your scarf into a colorful belt
We all know that sometimes belts can be boring, so next time you get ready skip the belt and add a cute colorful scarf around your waist. This is way more fun and prettier because you'll have the scarf hanging nicely and adding a new element to your whole outfit (one that you didn't imagine could exist until now). I love the look of it and the relaxed summer feeling it carries, perfect for those temperature raising days.
4. Make a headband out of your scarf
Not only is this the best way to add accessories to your hair, but the perfect way to get your hair out of your face in style. A simple technique like this one will give you that more relaxed boho-chic look, which you can sport at the beach or whenever shopping. That's right I'm thinking of California, even Hawaii... anywhere there's sunshine, sand, palm trees and water to dip into. I'm so dreaming of that perfect paradise!
5. Tie it around your neck
And we can't forget the most practical and popular way to style your scarf, around the neck. This not only helps those of you who have long necks and want to hide it, but makes any look a lot more versatile and memorable. I find that one simple outfit with the touch of a scarf becomes bang bang....too good and so right. From nay to yay, from okay to wow! :)
Well, we've come to the end. Like I said, now I'm going to go watch "Shapoholic" and enjoy the rest of the day. Have a great one as well and let me know how you liked this blog post in the comments. Also, if you haven't seen my previous styling post (all about the white button-down) have a look Here!

Love, Radi
