Growing up in sunny California, I didn’t gain an appreciation for scarves until I moved out east. Yes, they keep you warm, but they give you an opportunity to add fun colors, prints, and textures to your outerwear look.

I lived in France for a year and was surprised to find that everyone, guys and girls, wears scarves year-round. Necklush makes those European style pieces that light enough for summer and stylish enough for us fashionistas and our guys.

Foxy Lady

I’m not a fur person so I never thought I’d wear a fox around my neck. However, celapiu over at Etsy changed my mind.

She has many other cute items in her shop.

Would this fox fit in with your winter wardrobe?

What’s a Snood?

Time for another fashion lesson!

Ever heard of a snood? Besides being that red dangly thing under a turkey’s chin, it’s a scarf that is one big circle. I got this one for Christmas last year from my super chic bestie, Sara.

Here are some others from Asos.

Do you have a snood?

Designer Scarves for $5

There’s a catch, right? Well…yeah… kind of. I found this amazing Juicy Couture fabric in the remnants section of my local fabric store for $3 a yard. To be honest, I’m not a real fan of Juicy because it’s soooo pricey, but I thought this fabric would make a cute scarf.

I wanted a really long scarf so I picked up 3 yard of the fabric. First I cut it in half long ways (so really you can make two scarves – one for you and one for a friend!). Then fold it in half with the pattern on the inside, and pin the long side together.

Next sew the long side together. Then pin and sew one of the short sides.

Once you have three sides sewn up, turn the whole thing right side out. This is where I ran into a problem…how to sew up that fourth side? First I sewed the last side together.

Then I folded the sewn seem in between two folds.

The best way I can describe it is two “lips” of fabric from the sides with the sewn seam as the tongue.

Lastly, hand sew the two “lips” together. (If you have a better way of sewing up this last side, please share!)

And, there you have it. Your very own Juicy scarf for about $5!

As you can see, it is loved by humans and puppies alike.
