(Above scarves by Rachel Comey)

I love scarves. In the spring, when that lingering coolness has decided it just can’t let go, I wrap myself up and buckle down for what remains of the cold months.

In New England, sometimes that lasts a lot longer than we like.

For years, I envied the women walking by me stylishly clad and wrapped in silks and cottons, the perfect finishing touch to their spring jackets. By the time I got around to it, spring had fully sprung and scarves were an after-thought.

This year I’ve grabbed a few to add color to my black cotton swing jacket (ethnic and fringy) and my watercolor printed spring jacket (soft pink).
