Last Spring I took my first trip to Paris and what I had assumed was true- yes, no matter what the weather, a chic Parisian is never without his/her scarf! The city was scarf crazy! Man, woman- even child, all had an extra layer of “je ne sais quoi” wrapped oh-so-chicly around their necks!

I returned to the states ready to partake, but with the warmer weather of spring awaiting me at home I found most of my scarves were far too heavy to wear for long.
Thus I waited until cooler weather to live out my Parisian fantasy. And yes, scarves were an important part of my “winter” look. I loved how throwing on a scarf and a big pair of shades made me feel pulled together ( even if I was just running to the market for a gallon of milk in my New York uniform of jeans and snow boots! )
Needless to say- I’m hooked on the added little extra “oomph” and pop of color a scarf brings to the fashion table. Lucky for me this Spring I’m “in luck”. I’ve been spotting a plethora of light, colorful scarves more appropriate to wear with say a tank, white jeans and flip flops then with my woolly parka.
Parisian Spring chic- here I come! (more…)
