Okay, so with the fall/winter season, the "scarf" trend surfaces and so do the same questions I've wondered now for several scarf seasons. I get the concept that it's an accessory much like a necklace however, when I personally accessorize an outfit I pick things that match or accentuate what I'm wearing. Of course, I also understand where some ladies throw in a bright red necklace if they're wearing all black just to break up the monotony of the outfit and bling out some color. With that in mind...do I have it all wrong?
For example, today I spent the day (and I mean six full hours) in a meeting of executives which incidentally happened to be mostly women. I noticed several women wearing the "scarf" look but what caught my eye was that in no way shape or form did they seem to match and/or accent what they were wearing! Here's two examples that I saw that really stuck out in my memory.
Outfit #1: She was wearing a black dress with teal diamond shapes tiled all over it, knee length, quarter length sleeves and a scoop neck. The scarf was mostly cream colored with squares of different designs (think patchwork quilt). The colors in the designs were a lot of powder blue and a burgundy color.
Outfit #2: She was wearing a brown dress with suttle gold flecks throughout, slightly below the knee, and just a little longer than quarter length sleeves, also a scoop neck. Her scarf was plain light grey.
Someone tell me what I'm missing here? I could not wrap my head around what concept they used when picking the outfits out? If I had been picking it out, I would have decided on maybe a silver scarf or light teal scarf for Outfit #1, and def nothing with "more" print on it! And for Outfit #2 I would have done maybe an accenting shade of brown with maybe gold tassels or a gold scarf entirely.
Either way, I don't own a scarf anyhow. I have thought about getting one but hesitate as I'm not sure I've figured out how to wear it yet? I haven't even started on how in the world you tie them? ((sigh)) We all know I'd be the one walking around looking like I was heading out bundled up for a snow storm! :)
So the jury's out...scarf, no scarf...matching, not matching...tied (but how)?
