When I first wrote this post, it was cold and damp in my neck of the woods, so I went looking for winter warmers to feature in the day’s post. I wanted to find some cuddly hats and gloves and neck warmers and mittens. Instead, I was drawn to these gorgeous and colorful silk scarves by Velezhki, in Toronto. Scarves are a staple in my wardrobe, because they let me dramatically change my outfits without actually buying new clothes. Picked thse summery colored scarves to fight my chill, because, with a little imagination, they can do more than change your outfit. They can change your point of view — and magically change the season.
