accessory addict {scarves}

For my fourth instalment of my accessory addict series (previous posts: shoes, jewellery & hats), I confess to you my love affair for scarves.  Much cheaper than shoes and more universally flattering than hats, they are a great way to add visual interest to your outfit. Out of curiosity, I counted my collection and I own 52 scarves, one for each week of the year!  I like wearing scarves in my hair, around my neck, as a belt or tied around a purse.

Are you a sucker for scarves like me?

  1. I am a sucker for scarves. From big wooly ones to tiny little lady ties (which are basically scarves). I don't think I have 52 (!) but I should count them to be sure. I agree though; they're a great accessory & cheaper than shoes!

  2. The great thing about scarves is that you can find so many beautiful ones very inexpensive at the thrift store. You have some awesome thrifted scarves!

    p.s. I thought I had a lot of scarves, but you beat me at 52! LOL :)

  3. I do love a nice scarf and in fact for the first time this year I had to sort them out
    Spring/summer vs fall/winter. I just didn't have enough room to have them all hanging in my closet at the same time.

  8. I LOVE scarves. I wear a lot of thicker pashmina ones for warmth but I love the European flair of soft silky ones. I'd love to start buying beautiful silk scarves as hostess gifts...My favourites here are the turban because you're absoutely rocking a tricky look to pull off, the obi one for the creativity factor, and the DFS one because the whole look says 'polished professional'.

    I think I spotted you at the tulip festival last weekend eating on the other side of a patio. But when I saw you you were getting up to leave and our food was arriving to our table.

  9. I love scarves, but I probably only have about 10! Something I have a hard time buying unless they're super cheap.

  10. I guess I'm not. I just always tend to forget to add a scarf to my outfit. but I do own quite many beautiful scarves and when I looked through your selection I really felt I should give more credit to my scarves as well. you have a great collection, Emily!

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
