The weather here at the University of Oregon is finally looking more like Eugene weather. It’s been windy, cold and rainy every day. It’s a chore just to make it to class without getting soaking wet or freezing cold. One of my favorite pieces to wear when the weather is this bad is a cozy scarf. Sometimes it can be hard to stay stylish while bundling to stay warm but scarves add style and fun to any outfit.

I spotted this Fashionista and loved her whole look. My favorite part is obviously the scarf. The surprising color combo of turquoise, orange and red is so perfect for fall and the plaid pattern is adorable. She paired it with a cape-style grey sweater and a long silver and pearl necklace. I love the way she is wearing the scarf. By letting it hang down, it shows off all the colors so much better.

Hint: What I love so much about scarves is their versatility…not only the variety of colors, patterns and fabric but also the different ways you can wear them. There are websites that show the many different ways to tie a scarf. Scarves look good worn over a heavy coat or with a lightweight sweater. It all just depends on the temperature outside. American Eagle has a good variety of lightweight fashion scarves in a ton of patterns. They also have a few heavy-weight ones and a couple of the trendy loop scarves. Macy’s has a good variety as well. Just add some gloves and a cute hat and you are ready to brave the elements.
