Scarf Accessories You Must Know

A scarf is a very versatile accessory that fits with any clothes and styles. It can also be worn in hundreds of different ways. It adds glamour and class to your simple and dull look. Also, if you wear it with scarf rings or scarf clips, it becomes more fashionable, catchy and secure.

The scarf accessories such as the scarf rings, scarf clips and scarf slides help secure the scarf’s position most especially if the scarf is lightweight and thin. Just like the scarves, there are so many types of scarf accessories. There are some which are made of leather, there are also some made of metal. The way you wear your scarf accessory depends on how you wear your scarf. Nonetheless, the principle of using a scarf ring is always the same no matter wherever it is placed.

 

Here are some of the scarf accessories that you must know.

 

·         Double hole scarf ring – This scarf ring is like a buckle in terms of appearance. It is an oval shape with a design in the middle making two holes on each side. This is where you thread the scarf. This double hole scarf ring can be made of different materials such as metal or leather or shell and still be highly attractive.

 

·          Metal scarf ring – there are some metal scarf rings designed like a coil. Once you insert the scarf inside, you tighten the loop of the coil to secure the scarf. Or it can simply be a metal ring which is adjustable. It has a decoration in front of it which you will place properly once you tighten the grip with the scarf.

 

·         Scarf clip – From the name itself, a scarf clip is like an ordinary clip, just like an ear clip to those ears which are not pierced. The back part is where the lock can be made and secures the scarf while the front is for the design.

Easy Tips on How to Wear Scarves

Many women avoid wearing the scarves during the winter because they feel intimated by it and basically they do not know how to wear and use it magnificently. However, we all know that scarf is one of the trendiest accessories these days; or should I say wardrobe as a whole. Scarves are not just mere accessories but are already considered as a piece of cloth that can be considered as a wardrobe. It really helps if you know how to wear one, most especially during winter as it helps to keep you warm. Plus, it is an instant wardrobe – quick and easy to wear.

 

You can wear it with your favorite black dress as you go to work or a party; or with your favorite shirt if in casual. It adds glamour to your simple or dull look. It is a total magic. Be sure to keep lots of scarf varieties on your closet so that you are ready for all types of seasons, time and events. Collect scarves made of silk to pashmina to cotton and be assured that your look will be fine at all times. Here are some easy tips that can give you an idea how to wear scarves right.

 

Scarves are most commonly worn on the neck. However, it does not always have to be that way. There are still other places where you can wear your scarf such as in your head, waist, and wrist and even in your bag. Wearing the scarf around your waist as a belt makes your waist look thinner. You just roll the scarf lengthwise then wrap it around the waist or hips and tie nicely.

 

On the other hand, if you wear a scarf around the neck is still good. You can never go wrong with it. You just need to find the neck tying style that suits you and the type of scarf you are using. If you wear a lightweight scarf, wear it with a scarf ring, pin or slide to secure them in place.

Happiness is Contagious

I have been writing about happiness and gratitude today and I am overwhelmed with warm feelings of hope for the future and love for my family. I have a wonderful husband and I cherish the life we have built together. We have overcome many challenges including living in Vietnam and working on several causes that are close to our hearts.

He created this video a couple years ago while we were walking through a park in Saigon. Have a watch and think about the people you love in your life.
