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 "Neckerchief". If you buy only one new item this season, I would buy a neckerchief. 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 neckerchief 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 neckerchief with white pants for Easter.
Neckerchiefs 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 neckerchief. I love the pop of pink in this scarf against the apple green.
I especially love neckerchiefs for the extra warmth they provide in our cool springs. I know it may not look like it because neckerchiefs aren't full 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 neckerchief. 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 neckerchief. 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 neckerchief! 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

ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissy!
DeleteThat neck tie is adorable but I really fell in love with your sweater. What a beautiful spring color!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, that was a great TJMaxx find. You never know when you will get lucky at TJMaxx that's why my philosophy is "Check in often" ha ha!
DeleteThat is a pretty scarf! I like how you tied it. I just saw another way to wear a neckerchief yesterday with a ring that looked pretty simple. Going to try that soon, but I may have to wait till fall since it is getting too warm for anything around my neck now.

Thank you. Oh, one of the scarves I purchased came with a brooch-like piece of jewelry that the scarf threaded through. I wore it like that on Easter.
DeleteYour neck scarf is beautiful! Love the colors! Such a pretty spring look!

Aww, thank you. Have a good day.
DeleteLove how well the scarf coordinates with the short sleeve sweater, such a great look! I thought of you when I bought my silk scarf in Italy (as you had bought one while you were in Italy : )... I am not a scarf person but I couldn't resist the poppy print on the one I found.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elli! Your scarf will be a wonderful reminder of your trip. I think of Italy every time I wear mine.
DeleteThat takes me back! I used to wear neckerchiefs when I was (much ;-)) younger, but not they are too warm for me.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely with your sweater!
Yes, whatever is old is new again...especially in fashion.
DeleteBeautiful outfit! I love the look of a simple neck scarf, so pretty! I have a collection and some are from my mom, so it make it special to wear them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Thank you! That would be special to have your mom's scarves. My mom used to wear them over her hair tied at the chin, but I don't have any of hers anymore.
DeleteThe "neckerchief" gives you a very classic look! I love it - and your green spring sweater, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI am glad scarves but especially neckerchiefs are having a moment again. I bought one before we left for our trip but didn't wind up wearing it until we got back home. Mine has a pop of pink like yours and is about the same weight and length. Love the way yours adds interest to your solid colored pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie! I'm glad they're back in style.
DeleteThe neckerchief is fabulous! It really finished the outfit off perfectly. I bought one on Vinted recently with a fun cat print :) Thank you for linking!
