I love wearing scarfs and can wear them all year.  Well at least the thicker ones are saved for autumn and winter while the lighter ones are for the rest of the year.

Shown here are the basic knots illustrated byTexereSilk.com.

And 12 of the 35 ways to wear a scarf as illustrated here.  For the other ways, please visit TexereSilk for more ideas.

This is how I usually wear my scarf. It’s the “European Loop.” Photo from Boden.  Ikat print scarf now on sale.

“Inspired by the traditional art of ikat, this dramatic pattern makes a great outfitting accessory. We’ve sourced a lightweight yarn which allows you to feel warm without the bulk of a traditional woolly scarf.” - Boden

Here’s Audrey Hepburn’s way of wearing head scarf.  She looks happy and comfortable.  Another cute way to wear a head scarf here.

“Scarf, n. Pl. scarfs, scarves. … The original plural form scarfs has never gone out of use; but from the beginning of the 18^th c. the form scarves (on the analogy of halves) has been common…”

I like the simple and elegant look of this Nordstrom ‘Light’ Wrap.

Beauty of a Woman

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
