Statement Scarves

Jewelry is not the only accessory that can make a statement.  For those cold days where you need to layer up, a scarf can take the place of a bold necklace, especially since it will cover up your jewels anyway.  There are lots of trendy styles on the floors for you to make your scarf the statement piece of any outfit.



I love the Pockets-A-Plenty scarf from Anthropologie. This scarf looks like it has so much fun knitted into it but its simply an assortment of trinket-perfect pockets that you wrap around your neck. A tiny knit bird hangs from one of the pockets as though the creature knitted it for itself. The button detail at the neckline adds a stylish finishing touch.



Swap out your necklace for the Cable Knit Ascot also from Anthropologie. For just $24 you can stay warm and trendy with this slouchy bow-tie look. This is a great piece to add to a simple top as a modified collar.

 

The eternity scarf is both versatile and trendy and can be found at most popular retailers. The one featured here is Urban Outfitters Deena & Ozzy Eternity Scarf. Eternity scarves can be worn long (like above) doubled over and worn to look like a cowel-neck, over your shoulders or stacked for just around your neck. You can get a variety of looks in just one style!



If you are too timid to throw on a sequenced blouse to get the shiny look for the season, you can still stay on trend with a glitzy scarf. The Juicy Couture Chiffon & Sequence Scarf is one of many styles that feature this glimmery applique.
