The Savvy Stylist: Help with Scarves

Candice writes:

I have never used scarves as an accessory, but I love the look. I just don't know where to begin. What weight is best? How do I know if it's long enough? How do I wear a scarf with a turtleneck? V-neck? Scoop neck? I appreciate any guidance you can offer.

There really aren't too many rules to wearing scarves, but I can offer a couple of tips. First of all, keep your top simple - not too many embellishments, ruffles, etc. Second of all, I a cowlneck or turtleneck would interfere with the scarf, but any other neckline will be fine.

Here is a look featuring a scarf. I hope you like it; it costs just $99.76.
