Head Scarves: The Spring Break 2013 Accessory

Happy March! It is officially spring break season and college kids across the country will be flocking to warmer weather, white sandy beaches and one week of living it up in the tropical sun. Are you one of them? Have you started packing? No, me neither. But, there is one thing that you should add to your suitcase before you head off to Mexico, Florida, or California: some head scarves.

 I know, its spring and the last thing you want to be thinking about are scarves. But these chic little guys  are not the scratchy wool ones that you have had around your neck since early November. In fact in my opinion these are quintessentially summer.

Whether you are planning on spending your days lounging seaside, poolside, strolling around the resort or heading out at night to some clubs or bars, tying on a scarf will add that little something extra. Fun, bright colored scarves were hugely popular on the runways and with celebrities alike. Not to mention they have that ultra-feminine meets retro vibe that is all the rage this season and would look adorable paired with a swimsuit, coverup, and fun wedges. 

There are about a million different ways for you to style your head scarf. Women have been accessorizing with them for decades. The most famous lady? Oh, you know her! Rosie the Riveter. She took the red bandana look to  a whole new level, not to mention inspired about a million Halloween costumes. But in a good way! 

The Original.

The 1940s/1950s retro look is a classic that you can always count on. But, the other ways to be beach chic this spring break? Take a note from boho babe Nicole Richie. I have always been obsessed with her sense of style and ways throwing outfits together. Her scarf collection only furthers my fashion infatuation. Whether she's grocery shopping or out to lunch with some friends, she always makes her head scarf look chic, effortless, and oh so ethereal. 

Perfect right?

Our Spring Break 2013 muse.

 Fun, bright colored scarves could be seen at the Dolce and Gabbana, Max Mara, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Luisa Beccaria shows, just to name a few. Designers showed not only how to wear head scarves at the beach or to a casual lunch but, at night and with gorgeous flowing dresses. I'm telling you, the new "it" accessory has arrived!
