I am obsessed with collecting scarves. Despite living in sunny Southern California, I keep buying more!

Why this unabashed affection for a toasty neck wrap? Because a scarf is the perfect accessory. It dresses up any outfit, never goes out of fashion, and — thanks to the recent trend of lighter summer scarves — can be sported year-round. Plus, unlike a necktie, a scarf can be worn several ways: Draped, looped, layered, knotted, or elegantly tossed over one shoulder!
