When I’m faced with a perfectly nice but potentially boring outfit, I throw a scarf on it. Voila: color, interest and some warmth for the office or movie theater!
The simple outfit is an Old Navy tee (very soft – I’ll buy a few more), no-name thrifted maxi skirt and Kenneth Cole Reaction wedge sandals. The scarf was thrifted in NYC.

| Oops, I didn’t know my scarf was crooked until I saw the pic. Also did not know how messy the hair was. Photos tell no lies! |

I LOVE your hair like this. ^_^ I wish mine would be so curly, alas I have to settle for "straight mess"
I'm singing "put a scarf on it" to the tune of Beyonce's put a Ring on it…because I do the same! Or a blingy necklace! Thanks for the link-up 🙂

Patti, sorry Smart phone autocorrected your name!!!
Patti, Wish my hair looked this good when its messy, lucky you with your wonderful hair. And, I like the scarf a little crooked, it makes it look effortlessly put together.
Yay Patting, I have a smart phone now so I can comment at last!!!@ the scarf is a fab way of adding colour!
Scarves have saved many an outfit I have worn. They can really make a huge difference in the look of an outfit.
isn't it amazing how a scarf pulls everything together? yours looks fantastic!

Beautiful scarf! I love how the colors in the scarf highlight your bright yellow belt.

Gorgeous Scarf , Patti! Love it!
I thought the different lengths was deliberate! What a beautiful scarf. I am such a scarf fan, it lets you pull together lots of random colours, or pick out interesting ones – like with your belt. This looks lovely.
Such a pretty scarf! I love how those colors pop against the olive green tee.
Strange that I said this about the skirt as I do not feel the same way about the skirt in the Monday post with your drunken zebra blouse. That skirt was fine in length in my eye. Hmmm… is it because this one is wider?
Indeed photos tell no lies, but I like your hair a bit messy and I don't see any wrinkles in the scarf. You are right that scarfs are great uplifters for an outfit. Great shoes too.
(Can I be frank and say that I think the skirt would be better on you if it was a bit shorter?)
I love the scarf. I do find them difficult to wear in the summer. Maybe I'm not selecting the right kind.
I am with you, scarves add so much interest to an outfit. Love the pairing of the yellow belt to tie it all together.

The good thing about a beautiful scarf with lovely colors is that everyone will look at it, and no one will notice if it's uneven or your hair isn't perfect!
I love the asymmetrical scarf and thought it was intentional, until I read otherwise.
Hi my dear! It's amazing how a scarf really transforms an outfit-you look lovely and your scarf is very pretty! xx
Oo, love the colors in that scarf! Very pretty and versatile.
