the oddest thing happened this past week. melissa and i took part an awesome home | show in la grange. not to mention it was held on one of the hottest days of the summer…tipping a sweltering 94 degrees. (i think it was actually still that hot outside when we left at 10:00 pm….that’s how hot it was!)as mesh was setting up for the show we laughed at ourselves as we set up a display of scarves…thinking “who is going to buy a scarf on the hottest day of the summer?” well, we convinced ourselves...they are ‘summer scarves’…lightweight and airy. and we had just gotten a new batch of large checkered patterns…very transitional for the summer/fall season. let’s try it. so we left them out on the table.
[insert drum-roll here]
we sold so many scarves on thursday night! I think it was our highest scarf sale night to date.
then i got to thinking….what is it about the summer scarf that is so attractive these days. we used to only wear them in the winter to keep warm or as an attempt to add a bright accent color our black wool coats. i personally own about 20…and think i continually need more.
these are the reasons we've decided we love summer scarves...get yours at the next mesh show!
1. you feel a little fancy wearing them.
2. can’t decide which necklace to wear…no worries, use a scarf.
3. cost is no issue! you can get great scarves for under $20.
4. get too warm? take it off and tie it to your purse bohemian style.
5. best defense against the pesky air conditioning vent at your favorite restaurant.
6. easiest way to show your creative personality through texture, color and pattern.
7. there are a gazillion ways to wear a scarf. a woman thursday showed me a pretzel tie. be creative.
8. one-size fits all. (how much do we love this ladies?)
9. all the hollywood stars are wearing them. does jessica look great or what?
10. it's another excuse to buy new winter scarves. you can’t wear summer scarves in the winter!
