The One Accessory That Multitasks Better than the Rest

If there is one accessory I keep pulling out recently, it’s my fur scarves. I know, it’s odd, right? Fur in Houston? I used to wear my cotton scarves non-stop and they show it, but I’ve missed using them to tie together outfits. That’s why I started pulling out my fur scarves. When I put on my fur scarf, I noticed that it added a little bit of edge to my outfit. It made my outfit feel a little bit more hip. Now scroll down and look at the next picture. Do you notice anything odd?…

…I’m hoping you said no, but you may have noticed the blue makeup bag string hanging out of my purse- ha!  All that to say, if someone recommended I wear a fur scarf with a short sleeve shirt, I would look at them like they were crazy. Yet, it looks great! In the morning, I wore my black moto jacket with my scarf, and as the day warmed up, I shed the jacket and just wore the scarf.

I was digging this scarf (above) that I bought from Anthropologie last year so much that I went out and bought another one over the holidays…

I bought this one (above) during Saint Bernard’s Black Friday sale. I love it because it goes with everything!

Fur scarves also feel dressier to me, which makes it super fun to wear with a casual utility jacket. The mix is fun and unexpected! But I’ve even worn one with a cocktail dress to jazz it up! I was headed to an event that was close to “cocktail attire” and knew I wanted to wear this short dress. But it was chilly that night, so to warm myself and my look up, I added my fur scarf!

Here are a few of my favorite “fur” scarves on the market.
