Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Scarves" and was picked by Jodie..
This month the ladies of Ageless Style and I are styling "Scarves". But I am going to narrow down that category specifically to a "Neck Tie". If you buy only one new item this season, I would buy a neck tie. It's simply a smaller scarf, usually in the shape of a rectangle, that you can tie around your neck, put in your hair, or tie onto a hand bag. The neck tie is super on-trend this season and you will see them on display in all the stores. I just purchased a half dozen of them from TJMaxx because I couldn't decide which one I wanted and they were only about $6.99 each.
I also purchased this pretty green short sleeve sweater from TJMaxx. It's just perfect for spring because of the color and when else can you wear a short sleeve sweater 😀? I wore this sweater and a different necktie with white pants for Easter.
Neck ties are like a piece of jewelry; they add ornamentation to an otherwise plain outfit. I don't think this simple green sweater would look the same without the neck tie. I love the pop of pink in this scarf against the apple green.
I especially love neck ties for the extra warmth they provide in our cool springs. I know it may not look like it because neck ties aren't scarves, but they really do keep me warm. In fact, because they are so small, I can easily keep one in my purse and pull it out when I feel cold. I actually did that this past weekend in Lake Geneva. It was so cold and windy in the morning, so I wore my neck tie. But by afternoon it really warmed up and was no longer needed, so back in my bag it went.
I wore my light green sweater with dark denim wide leg cropped jeans. The jeans look so much darker in the picture than they are in real life. The colorful sweater really pops against the dark blue jeans.
If scarves are too big and bulky for you, try a simple, small neck tie. They are so versatile and if you end up not liking to wear it around your neck, use it as a head band or head scarf, tie it around your hand bag, thread it around belt loops as a colorful sash, wrap it tightly around your wrist as a chunky bracelet...there are so many uses for a neck tie! Enjoy!
And now be sure to see how the other ladies are styling their scarves and link up with us as well!
Have A Great Day! Amy
