Hot or cold it doesn't matter...according to DISHIE Ashley Allen...Scarves are all the rage! For more of Ashley's musings, click HERE

I love, love, love scarves. I love how old hollywood icons used to cruise Sunset in a convertible with one wrapped so delicately around their heads protecting their locks from the wind. I love how the fabric hugs my neck like Octopus' arms when I wear one. I love how I can dangle a scarf over a black dress and it automatically looks more interesting and in fact I find it extremely intersting how I can dote that same black dress the next day with a different scarf and no one seems notice. Not that yours truly does that of course. ;)There is something about a tiny piece of scrap fabric that can make an outfit an ensemble. It is the perfect accessory for any outfit no matter what season, age or economy. It's your shirt or dress' best friend. I wear my luscious coral scarf at least twice a week. I recently spent some time in gorgeous San Fran. It amazed me how many of the women could look so effortly chic by just adding a scarf. I had to bring this piece of the bay area back with me... and of course a case or two of vino from Napa. It can be 100 degree August weather in Texas but you bet your brand new Gucci hobo that I am going to be wearing a scarf, my coral one to be exact... and I am not the only one! Take that San Fran.
