I heart this...

Anyone who knows me will tell you that my closet is full of blacks, grays and brown - I wear mostly classic, muted tones in fairly classic shapes. BUT - those friends would also tell you that my shoe closet, handbag shelves, and jewelry box is full of things that make those muted clothes look like the rope holder under a gigantic parade balloon - no one notices the rope holder, everyone notices the thing floating in the sky.

So, being an accessories queen, I deem myself capable of judging good accessories. There's 99 crappy ones for every 1 great one, trust me.

Scarves are one of those accessories that become more necessity than fashion - when in actuality, they should be your parade balloon. I'm loving these neck warmers from The Textilemuse (great name, too). These neck warmers are made with super soft chunky acrylic yarn and are accented in great ways.

You pair this with a boring wool pea coat and watch out!
