Wardrobe Rehab : Session 2, Re-Thinking What You Already Own

source

In my last closet post I discussed how to clean out your wardrobe for a new season. If you didn't read it the first time around, you can take a few minutes and read through the post here.

Today I am talking about my second step in transitioning my closet from one season to the next; re-evaluating what items I already have to see how I can re-style into some new looks this season. Don’t get me wrong, I love buying new clothes as much as the next 20-something female. But I also love taking something I already own and mixing it a totally new way for a modern and current look. Saving some money by not having to purchase tons of new clothes is never a bad thing either!

How To Wear It : Silk Scarf

I am head over heels loving on silk scarves right now. I have always loved winter scarves, how they add another layer of texture and color to an outfit. But when the weather starts to get warmer, most of these scarves must be banished to back of the closet until fall returns. Enter, the silk scarf.

Throughout the years, head scarves have come in and out of style - but silk scarves, like the Hermes-style ones your grandma used to wear, remain forever classic & chic.  

I have been seeing more and more lightweight scarves popping up around me, from bloggers to NYC ladies, even in magazines. I was reading Elle the other day and before even getting to the first article I saw three advertisements with lightweight scarves being styled in various ways!

So, I took to Pinterest to find some inspiration for wearing the silk scarf this spring and discovered I was just as smitten with it as a hair accessory as I with it as a neck accessory. I pulled together some of my favorite looks below to get you all in the scarf frame of mind too!

 

Hair Look #1 - The Messy Headband

Messy buns and chignons look casual yet at the same time classy with your scarf nonchalantly knotted around your head.
