Small announcement: I have launched a temporary portfolio of my drawings and paintings, located at www.seecreatures.com/portfolio, and I would appreciate it if you would take a look! It can also be accessed from any page via the “art” tab in the navigation menu!
Scarf handknit by me, dress See by Chloé
I’ve never been much of an accessories person, but when it comes to scarves, I’m obsessed. They’re the perfect accessory: they can be worn in multiple ways (on the head, around the strap of your bag, around the neck, even as a belt!); they are a great way to add a pop of color/design to a simple outfit; and, most importantly, they are completely utilitarian, especially during these colder months! Furthermore, for those of us who can’t always afford designer clothing, fashion scarves are a great way to own a luxurious designer piece.
Faliero Sarti has a wide range of beautifully-detailed, unique scarves that run the gamut of dressy, casual, and even satirical. The colorful one with tassels (second from the left) is at the top of my wishlist, but I’m also head-over-heels for the nude and grey ombre scarf and the patriotic star-print one.
All available from Farfetch Luxury Clothing
I’m also quite partial towards Hermès’ coveted plissé scarves. I’ve dreamed of owning one of these for quite some time now, but being a broke college student and all, the prospect of buying one any time soon is nonexistent.
All available from Hermes.com
And, of course, one cannot forget the iconic, macabre Alexander McQueen scarves.
First scarf available from Farfetch, second and third scarves available from Net-A-Porter
For as much as I drool over designer scarves, though, I am equally a sucker for lumpy hand-knit scarves, and more affordable hand-made and vintage scarves (of which Etsy is in no short supply).

Ughhhh so scared to buy scarves. I had a McQueen similar to the second one… along time before I knew he was important. It was a highly coveted item because knock offs where everywhere. I bet the person who stole it didn’t even know how valueable it was (it was in Arlington, lol)!
Anyway, I agree! Scarves and other accessories are what make a nice outfit into a really stylish one. Love the garter one you made! The colour goes well against the yellow!

That’s awful! Yeah, I would not expect that the person who took it would realize it’s value… I’m so sorry that you lost it!
& Thank you!

I’m not much of a scarf person, but I certainly do love seeing people wear it, especially when layered.

I am absolutely obsessed with scarves. So much that several scarf-related blogs follow me on twitter (did you know there are entire blogs all about scarves?)
ONE DAY I will buy a Hermes scarf, one day!

I had no idea that there were blogs dedicated entirely to scarves! Do you have any suggestions for good reads?
I am hoping to one day save up enough to buy one as well! I just love the designs and bright colors. So beautiful!

I’ve got a tonne of scarves, most of which found their way into my wardrobe by my routine digs through second-hand bins — but I never wear them for some reason! I dunno, I just feel ridiculous when I accessorise, even if it’s with something as multifunctional and not-in-your face as a scarf.
I really like the ombre one too, and the first McQueen.
