Scarves, the perfect accessory.

By Penny Metzger, The Beehive Gift Shop at Kids First Sports Center

Scarves have been a girl’s best friend for the past few seasons and the trend is not going away any time soon. Why? Because a scarf can transform the most of plain ensembles into the chicest of  looks for just a few dollars.And because scarves come in so many styles, fabrics and colors they can be worn year round. From keeping you warm to adding a punch of style to a t-shirt and jeans, scarves do it all.

Of course scarves can be tied around your neck. But why limit yourself to just one look? Plait it and wear it as a headband or belt. Tie it around your neck and make a sarong to wear on the beach. Make one into a maxi dress, a halter top, skirt, muffler, vest, a turban, a shawl, and more! Whew! Its easy to see why they have been so popular of late. Its the very versatility of scarves that make us love them - but - that very versatility also intimidates us. No worries, there is plenty of help out there for those of us who are scarf tying phobics.
