Casual and Plain, but Chic as Hell!

Nothing says, "My outfit may be casual and plain, but I'm still chic as hell", like a nice big scarf wrapped around your neck and draped over your otherwise plain outfit. I live in scarves and this is mostly because I own many clothes in neutral colors like white, beige, gray, and sometimes black. I guess it's a little bit like my decor preference - white slip covered couches, french linens, bamboo shades, jute rugs, etc... and then a punch of color thrown into the mix with a bold throw pillow, colorful artwork on the walls or a crazy antique that makes guests say, "wow!",

I'm wearing a scarf today which I just love! I bought it new at a second-hand store in town and it is by Echo. It is linen and has beige, white, and yellow stripes. I'm wearing it with white capris, a grey cami, and a white blazer with a big old watch on my wrist. see? an otherwise plain outfit with a little bit of punch in the scarf and the watch.

Oh, and I am writing this post by no means as a fashion expert but scarves are just something I truly believe in to give you a fresh and fun look!


My gosh, does it get anymore beautiful, nevermind the scarf, the hair!!


Here are some I love:

    Completely agree! A scarf paired with a casual look just looks nice! Love your choices too, especially the second one. xoxo
