When you think scarf, do you think of a big wooly thing to keep you warm in winter? If that’s ALL you think about….it’s time to broaden the horizons! Scarves are as versatile a summer accessory as they are a winter one. You just have to know how to wear them. Here are three alternative ways to wear a scarf in summer time:

Wear as a swim suit cover up. You can easily fashion an over-sized scarf into a swimsuit skirt or dress cover up. They are perfect for the pool or beach. They are light weight, comfortable, and stylish.
Wear as a headwrap. Instead of wearing your cute infinity scarf around you neck, wear it in your hair. This will also work for your regular long scarves. Tie it up or pin it in. Instant style on the worst summer hair day.
Wear as a maxi-skirt. Many scarves are oversized. Consider pairing it with a t-shirt and pinning it into place as a long maxi skirt, but remember, not to forget your slip and a belt often polishes off the look.

Today is Fashion Friday at Cents of Style and that means great deals!  Today they are offering 50% off summer scarves, starting as low as $5.85 shipped!  The beautiful Kim Scarf, pictured above, will be $10.98 shipped, tomorrow only. It is the perfect size for a beach cover-up.
