Casual Chic & Silk Scarves

I grew up observing my ultra elegant & glamourous grandma wearing silk scarves every single season of the year.  My mother has her own collection as well, and that’s how I developed my appreciation and love for them.  Silk scarves have a way of adding a chic element to almost any outfit.  Silk scarves come in all sizes, the tiny ones I usually wrap around my neck, and the large ones you can fold in half and spread over your shoulders like in the outfit that I am sharing today.  Notice that I am wearing regular jeans and a plain colored v-neck sweater (such a basic combo!), but now this simple outfit looks more sophisticated.  It’s always best to wear clothing that has colors that match with your scarf.  My scarf has navy blue, brown and creme tones, so in order to bring those colors out I chose jeans that are the same blue tone, brown wedges and a creme colored sweater.  Voila!  Hope this post inspired you to add a silk scarf to any of your outfits!  If you have not worn one before, just give it a try!  Be sure to match it properly for a chic and polished look!
