A dozen ways to style summer scarves and win (OOTD)

So today, I’m talking styling scarfs. I inadvertently styled this scarf with my look for church, a few Sundays ago. It wasn’t some plan I had meticulously hashed out or planned ahead, but simply born out of a bad hair day…errr, two weeks 😜 because I’d washed my hair, hurriedly put it up in a pony tail, due to lack of time to twist it, and didn’t take it down for, a while. In fact, I’m still sporting the same high pony tail…I tell ya, the struggle is real sometimes for naturalists. At least for this one anyways. if you follow me, you’d know that I’d committed to wearing more of my natural hair, at least this year, a total irony since I recently launched a hair extension and Mink falsies side hustle…go figure, huh?!

Moving on…scarfs are a fashion conscious girl’s secret. They are colorful, feminine, and their versatility cannot be over stated. In this post, I used mine as a head wrap, with my hair pulled up in a high pony tail, and the scarf wrapped around it, like a crown (I had to use two scarfs to achieve this fullness). The scarf head wrap, lends a chic and polished vibe to my look, giving a nod to fashion icons of old.

About my outfit though, the top is a recent find from @tjmaxx on clearance, the bcbgmaxazria bandage skirt, the Marc Jacobs handbag are from my closet, and you’ve previously seen this peplum belt, choker, heels and loafers. The scarf was also from @tjmaxx a few years ago.
