Mommy Monday: Winter Wrap-Up

With holiday glitz and glamour beginning to fizzle out and the temperature dropping with no sign of spring blooms in sight, Yummy Mummies are needing something to keep them cozy during the winter slump.  Winter is a season when outerwear becomes more important then what you are sporting underneath. Throw on a stylish coat no one will be the wiser about the spittle -covred Lululemon hoodie and pants you are wearing underneath.  In addition to a fabulous coat which lends itself to form AND function, Dear Readers, warm winter accessories are needed to update your look. The most versatile of these, is of course, the scarf.


Once said coat is discarded, the same scarf can dress up a simple, minimalist outfit taking the place of a statement necklace. Where a necklace might be overkill, a solid-coloured scarf will complement one of Spring's on-trend printed blazers while a brightly coloured or patterend scarf will dress up a simple Jersey tee. The most fabulous component of this amzing accessory, however, are the different way to style and tie your scarf.  A great resource can be found at http://www.scarves.net/how-to-tie-a-scarf/ wich features 37 ways to tie every type of scarf from skinny to square to rectangle with both step-by-step instructions and an accompanying video.

Check out some celebs below wearing simple coloured scarves (warning to husbands and the like-minded--scarves are not neccessarily meant to keep you toasty, although it is a nice bonus):
