However, today’s fashionistas are taking it a step further by accessorizing their own accessory. There are many different ways in which you can accessorize a scarf to suit a different look.

Add a Corsage

A floral accent from a corsage as the perfect touch of femininity to any scarf. Consider choosing a silk scarf or a lightweight knit scarf with tassels for this look. You’ll want to start first by folding your long scarf and half. Next you will place it around the neck and put the two and through the loop you have created by folding the scarf and hat. Pull it up tight to the neck or loosen it a little bit to create the look that you would like with your outfit. Next he will want to add some flowers to one side of the looped area.

You do not necessarily need a real corsage from a florist to do this. Instead you can choose to utilize several fake flowers with the stand Scott and wrapped in floral tape.
