Scarves: The Secret Ingredient to Elevating Your Outfit
I was scrolling through Pinterest, as one does when looking for outfit inspiration, and something caught my eye, a lot of the looks featured scarves. Not just any scarves, though. It was those nice silk printed and cotton ones tied around the neck, draped over their shoulders, tied on their handbags, and it gave the outfits that extra something. They made everything look more polished, more chic, more... elevated.
Naturally, I was influenced. Now, my Amazon cart is brimming with scarves just waiting to be tied into my wardrobe.
