STYLE 911: Summer Scarves

 

 

I keep seeing celebs sporting cute, summery scarves. I want to try them out. Any suggestions?

 

Staying fashionable in the summer is tough when the heat makes it hard to wear anything but your fave bikini. Lightweight scarves are the perfect way to stay stylish--and cool. AE crinkle lurex scarf, $20, ae.com

Snap up bold ‘n’ bright solid scarves to wear with boho tanks and cropped jeans. Metallic accents for more of a pop (and feel fab with your gladiators).They look great worn long and loose…crazy knots feel too stuffy for hot summer days.

 

Square, airy scarves with wild prints or plaids are super-hot right this second. Pair one with a fitted tank a pair of fuss-free shorts. Gorgeous! Plaid Gauze Square Scarf, $20, urbanoutfitters.com

Not a big fan looks like they are hiding from something

I saw the CUTEST scarf at GAP the other day! It was a light green color. I really wanted bu i can't get myself to spend $20 on a scarf. Frown

allmaewin on 7/22/2008 1:35:53 PM

I like those ones from AE. They're really cute!

*Wink*Wink* on 7/22/2008 1:43:47 PM

Scarfs are OK. I only really wear scarfs when I'm vacationing somewhere cold, like Colorado Springs in the winter, because where I live it doesn't get that cold.

ShopperSoccerGurl on 7/22/2008 1:44:42 PM

i do not like scarves they remind me of winter, which i hate.

lexingtondancer on 7/22/2008 1:55:57 PM

They are weird looking. I also would never wear a scarf in the summer! WEIRD!

SportyBFF25 on 7/22/2008 1:59:29 PM

bb123 on 7/22/2008 2:06:00 PM

fashionista8613 on 7/22/2008 2:06:05 PM

that is the stupidest idea i have ever heard! i don't no about u but where i live it's HOT during the summer.

djjollyrancher on 7/22/2008 2:07:48 PM

okay so im not the most out going when it comes to fashion but the scarves r to wired feeling for me. but try a really thin and light weight scarf.

sportygurl63 on 7/22/2008 2:20:36 PM

i think scarves in the summer r dumb! its so hot, wy wear a scarf?? the 1 from ae is cute but the other 1 looks like a dogs scarf!! get real!!

My mom was like, "Oh my god, he likes you!" when I told her things he said, but I told her no! We exchanged IM's and we talk all the time. He acts like a BF I would want, but I'm just not attracted to him! I don't want 2 lead him on, so I don't now how to talk to him now. He's always wonering when Ill be on and got my number while we worked. We're not working anymore. What do I do!? I just got off an IM with him and he said, "Mabey Ill call you later". and i said sure b/c i couldnt keep making excuses! i have lied 2 him so i could stop IMing him and so he wouldnt call me. Im not comfortable with that cause idk if him calling me seals something. how do i no what hes thinking!? I cant just keep running away and i dont want 2 ask cause mabey 2 him we r just friends and he would just call a grl. im late 14, hes early 15. our dads r friends. ahhh! i dont want 2 embarrass myself by just asking either! Ahhhh! Help me plez!

summer scarves are ridiculas... just wait for winter! It isn't that far away! pretty soon people will be walking aroud in tank tops in the middle of december!

Born2Ride on 7/22/2008 2:58:09 PM

mungbean,

WOW!! Sounds like he's flirting w/ u!! Don't worry I have a plan: u should get ur dad and his dad to hang out at one of ur houses. That's when u could say that u just want to be friends w/ him , but don't lay it on him too fast , bring it upm casually. Like saying oh soo u didn't call last nite and continue talking casually. Also , if that doesn't work just ignore him!! I did that to a boy who ppl said liked me and it worked. Then again , I was a little mean to him , but now he leaves me alone , but his friends keep saying he likes me.. anyways talking to him may be ur only option , but just keep trying and he'll get the signal that ur not into him , if u just act like a friend to him.

abby_t_123 on 7/22/2008 3:31:10 PM

This is an interesting idea. I like to wear the scarves in the fall... cute though

SummerRox on 7/22/2008 3:38:48 PM

Summer scarves are cute but I don't get why you would want to wear one when it's warm. I love scarves in the fall and winter!!! I just got one from the Gap and will save it for fall.

tropicalsnow1 on 7/22/2008 3:50:05 PM

I only like to wear scarves when it's actually cold. As weird as that might sound Smile

who's modding?? Smile


 


Samantha AND Callie--- but don't worry, we're buds!

lilangel08 on 7/22/2008 4:09:47 PM

scarves make u seem really dressed up, which is too fancy for me 4 casual day-wear...

dumb_brunette on 7/22/2008 4:23:28 PM

ok thanks!! Smile

lilangel08 on 7/22/2008 4:24:02 PM

MOD(s) -
my crush is coming over to my house on the third with a bunch of people, but my older bro always humiliates me in front of him!! and everyone else, for that matter. what can i doo???


 


Tell your bro to cool it!!!!!

lilangel08 on 7/22/2008 4:25:30 PM

MOD MOD MOD hey is GL sold in stores, like grocery stores, or bookstores or can u just get it if u have a subscription???


Hey Girl, yeah GL is totally sold in bookstores, grocery stores, and you can even check it out at the library. But to be honest, it's usually cheaper to get a subscription. ~Callie

couturebabe on 7/22/2008 4:28:18 PM

some scarves are ok, but it depends

lilangel08 on 7/22/2008 4:28:57 PM

scarves during the summer?? maybe for a SPECIAL event. Its to hot to wear one casually, and during the summer im more of a jeans and a t-shirt person.

musicchika1 on 7/22/2008 4:29:06 PM

I like the plaid one, but I'd never wear a scarf...

squeeners on 7/22/2008 4:46:37 PM

I don't know, scarves are cute, but only at night. I vacation on Sea Island and at night scarves are really cute, but even better is the shrunken hoodie style.

emmyfour on 7/22/2008 4:49:48 PM

Scarves are cool and cute, but I don't think I'd wear them in the summer... They have a practical use, and it's not for keeping you COOL, it's for keeping you WARM.

dog_luver on 7/22/2008 6:37:27 PM

Cutee. I wouldn't wear it, but adorable. <3

MunkQoo on 7/22/2008 6:47:41 PM

MOD I have a headache and I have to finish an essay by tonight. What should I do to make myself feel better? - Thanks <3


Hey GIrl, take some medicine and lay down for a little. *Cara T*

MunkQoo on 7/22/2008 6:49:27 PM

Mod: I wanna get in shape for softball tryouts next season. I'm 4' 10 1/2" and 100 lbs. I've got some extra flab around the mid-section and it kind of slows me down. Can you give me any workout tips? how to excercise? etc.? I know it's really not healthy to lose weight at this time in my life, but continuing on like this isn't very healthy either. Blog Babes, help me out, too. Thnx!


 


Hey Girl! Deff start running , and work your way up each day by increasing it a little more, also try doing sit-ups, and deff practice softball! Just practicing will help you get in shape more than you think *Cara T*

dELiA's Girl on 7/22/2008 6:54:31 PM

Ugh I totally was just at American Eagle the other day! I could of purchased that o-so-cute scarf! :sad:

MunkQoo -- Cara is right, take some medicine and lay down. I get headaches a LOT and sometimes it's just because I'm hungry, thirsty or stressed. So try eating, drinking, and relaxing and see if that helps! xoxo Smile

ShopperSoccerGurl on 7/22/2008 7:13:43 PM

MOD Sorry for asking so many questions today. I feel chatty. & Thanks for answering my other one. I was just wondering if I'm 14 years old and 5'1'' or 5'2'' am I really short for my age? I'm shorter than all my friends. Also when do I stop growing, around what age? Thankyou MOD. =]


 


Hey Girl, not at all, and prob around 18-20. *Cara T*

abster678 on 7/22/2008 8:31:24 PM

Here are some BACK TO SCHOOL DRESSING tips!

For Back to School 2008, it's all about hot color combinations. This season, choose saturated colors like fuchsia and jewel-tones and pair them up with dark hued basics for a big punch of color. Hot 2008 color combinations include fuchsia with black, rich green with navy, and turquoise with chocolate brown. Getting this look is easy, either pair these colors up yourself, or look for patterns that incorporate popular color combos. When choosing patterns, go graphic with big, bold designs like batik prints, color blocks and exaggerated stripes.

What You'll Need for the Look
Colorful Tops
"Back to School Fashions 2008"nordstrom.com
This Back to School season is all about bold color mixed with neutrals. Go for rich, saturated hues that pop against neutral basics and dark denim. Choose tops that feature fun cuts like empire waists, interesting sleeves, bubble hems and more. Have fun this year and get girly with bows, rushing, volume, ruffles and feminine details.

Dresses
"Back to School Fashions 2008"dillards.com
The dress will continue to be big in 2008. For a modern look, choose solid dresses in bold colors or go big with a large graphic print in contrasting colors. Dresses are instant outfits and are a fun and easy way to look put-together and fashionable. What could be easier than tossing on a comfortable, pretty dress and some flats before rushing to catch the bus?

Leggings
"Back to School Fashions 2008"limitedtoo.com
Yes, leggings are still cool for 2008. Wear them under dresses, skirts, tunics, babydoll tops and trapeze tops. Choose leggings in dark neutral colors like black and brown and pair them up with brightly colored tops.

This year denim is as fashionable as ever, so long as it's in a dark wash. From wide-leg trouser jeans to skinny jeans, all styles look cool for Back to School 2008. So, encourage you to choose whatever style suits your body type and fashion sense the best, top your jeans of with a cool top, and you've got a great B2S look.

Fun Layering Pieces
"Back to School Fashions 2008"gapkids.com
Add a fun layering piece to her already super-cool outfit for a bit of warmth and a lot of style. This year, pick up a few cardigans, shrugs, vests, hoodies and blazers to mix and match with her basics and take her outfits from boring to bold.

Flat Shoes
"Back to School Fashions 2008"zappos.com
Finish her back to school look off with a beautiful pair of flat shoes. For added zing, choose a fun patterned slip-on shoe or get romantic with a strappy sandal. Ballet flats continue to rule girls' foot fashion and are still a fantastic choice for Fall 2008.

Deedeethetwinlet on youtube they actually have scarf folding videos (my one friend found it) and I bought a scarf and I just kind of draped it around my neck without tying it. I guess it depends on what season your wearing it in how much to tie it or wrap it aroundThese scarves are really cute. When I went to Quebec City and Montreal in Canada I saw a lot of people wearing scarves and stores had all these shelves of scarves it was so exciting! The Frenchie exchange students at our school all wore scarves but they were more the heavier checked or striped kind (they came in winter). Has anyone ever been to quebec? I really liked it it was the cutest city ever. There were these alleys where artists were set up it was so cool.
