Ok, time for an extemporaneous rave about...scarves. To me, a scarf is much more than a scarf, in fact that word does not do this multi-purpose, must-have accessory justice. "Scarf" sounds like what a dog does to its food. "Scarves" is a bit better with the slightly sultry "vvvv" sound, but only a bit. It still has that awful double consonant at the beginning that sounds like something caught at the back of the throat. Like a glottle stop. Or a gag reflex. Sc...sc...this sound is not worthy of these essential, fashionable, beautiful, colorful, and downright sexy pieces of our year-round wardrobes.
Scarves bring so much WOW into our looks - interchangeably, effortlessly, truly the ultimate in versatility - they deserve a name more befitting their rather royal status. Maybe just call them what they are: lovely layers. Cozy clouds of beauty. Ugh. That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Ah well, scarves it is, and SPEAKING OF...let's look at a few of my favorite Banaris scarves that just came in the shop!!!!
I got really excited when I saw this collection. Banaris really does it right! They have the most original, beautiful, hip and happy prints I've ever seen! Every season they surprise and delight me. I love the small polka dot scarf with its pastel rainbow of pretty dots and soft, voluminous body. It really is like a cozy cloud of beauty the way it sits at the throat, adding a lovely volume, soft color, and cozy charm. I also looove the pink stripe. That color is just the perfect pink, and the silk has a soft shimmer that captivates me. I'd love to wear this beauty with a jean jacket then turn around and rock it with a feminine dress. So many ways to wear them! Another original and beautiful scarf is this multi-colored one. I've never seen a print like this and I adore it! In fact I am really drawn to each print with polka dots in this collection, they are just too cool!
So give yourself a valentine and pick up one or two or three of these lovely layers for your spring wardrobe. And seeing as they always fit, no matter what, give one as a gift to your favorite lady valentines! xoxoxo DR
