Scarves: No longer just keeping you warm, they keep you in style

I’m always looking for ways to accent my plain jeans and a t-shirt look. You know, the grocery shopping, errand running, late-for-class outfit that just seems to pull itself out of your closet. One of my favorite accessories to add is a colorful, textured scarf. From bright yellow to white and black plaid, scarves give something boring and easy, thought and style. Don’t think you need to spend $90 on a nice scarf from Bloomingdales. Some of my favorite places to go to find these amazing and affordable scarves are H&M, Forever21 and Fred. This accessory is also a great way to add that “something” to your portraits!
