Don't tangle your dangle

Once the leaves turn we all become enamoured with scarves. Who can resist such rich textures, vibrant colors, and designer patterns? There's something about fall that has the clothes horse in us panting to purchase. We want sweaters, jackets, coats and the potential to layer anything and everything (after all that's an invitation to a larger wardrobe and more shopping.) Scarves are emerging again this year as a "must own one" accessory. They are fabulous in their versatility but come with one important caveat..."Don't tangle your dangle!"

Be careful not to wear a necklace that competes with your scarf, consider a brooch instead. Since earrings are undoubtedly a woman's most important and potentially flattering piece of jewelry, be careful with your choices when wearing a scarf. Avoid drop earrings that interfere, even if you are wearing a scarf over a coat or jacket and plan to remove it. Make sure your earrings end before your scarf begins. Consider large studs or wide, short hoops instead of dangles. Finally, learn to tie your scarf in several ways so you don't ever tangle your dangle!
