Scarves: Inspiration for Winter to Spring

March 24, 2023 /

Jodie (from jtouchofstyle) reached out to me a couple of weeks ago suggesting a joint scarf challenge. Since I am always up for a clothes challenge, I readily agreed! Then it was time to get creative with scarves as I knew she would have all kinds of fun ways to wear her scarves and I didn’t want to just wear my scarves in the most obvious manner. Of course, you cannot always come up with something new and sometimes simplicity is just what you need as the first two outfit prove. Here is Jodie’s week recap: head to there to get some more inspiration!

Since our weather can change 30 degrees from morning to night or from day to day, you will see a wide variety of outfits with or without layers which should give you some inspiration wherever you live. If felt like spring on this day so I was excited to wear one of my favorite pairs of pants with a simple scarf. The scarf adds interest to the plain black top just like a necklace would.

I still have a couple of infinity scarves and I typically just wear them looped twice around my neck. Every so often I try something different but not on this day. The scarves adds an extra print to this outfit.

I thought it would be fun to wear a scarf like I would wear a shirttail and this was perfect for a day at the botanical gardens. The colors were a perfect match for an archway in the orchid pavilion and I fit right in with all of the pretty blooms. I chose a pair of earrings that tied in with the scarf and fun leopard sneakers for some fun print mixing.

I wanted to add a neck scarf to my belt loop but then I realized I had donated all of mine since I hadn’t been wearing them. Instead I used one of my church scarf in a contrasting color.

I will be copying this look with a black column and another scarf next week. It had been a while since I had transformed a scarf into a vest so I had to watch a You Tube video to remember how to knot a long rectangular scarf to create a vest.

This might have been my least favorite outfit of the week but I do like the concept of turning a scarf into a belt. I definitely would like it better looped through pants but I really was trying to share a variety of wearable outfits. I wore each of these in real life and not just for the purpose of a blog post.

There is still one more week of our challenge so I hope that some of you will join Jodie and I! Don’t forget to stop my Jodie’s post for more fun scarf action!
