In addition to the raging bandana/neckerchief trend, I’m a huge fan of the burgeoning skinny silk scarf trend.  I’m the lucky beneficiary of some great vintage skinny silk scarves and bow ties of my parents from the seventies and eighties and love wearing them with a crisp button front shirt.  I wore another one in a similar way at Fashion Week last September (here) and am excited that the look is slowly but surely getting a bit more mainstream.  Vintage shops usually have giant bins of these things, so keep an eye out next time you’re perusing.  Speaking of perusing, I just updated my Shop page with some new favorites and oh, by the way, have you checked out the. best. sale. of the year yet??  You’ve got work to do.
