Fall is here, my friends. This means it’s time to make your favorite pot of chili, roast marshmallows on an open fire, and enjoy the chill and cheers of high school football. People are even taking the long route, by road or bike, to enjoy the leaves starting to flame colors. Fall is a beautiful season in Jefferson City.
When the weather cools, nothing makes me happier then breaking out the warm sweaters and scarves. I’ve got a thing for a great scarf. Although I don’t consider myself a scarf snob, the scarf does need to have a few things going for it before I commit. It must be the right blend of warm material, great color and perfect length. It should also be willing to be tied in several different ways. I’ve found that flexibility is key in life and, ironically, scarf wearing.
There is a great scarf place in town. It’s kind of secret. They are known for lots of other things—expensive clothes, beautiful gowns and unique purses—but not many people know they have some killer scarves. Plus, they’re really cheap (most scarves are between $10-$15). While the scarves hanging on their racks are great, I have found the best success rummaging through folded ones stacked a mile high on the shelf. Come to mama, you sweet scarf!
Here’s to hoping you find a sweet scarf, too. May it warm your neck, be a bold accessory, and serve as a reminder that this is the season we’ve all been craving. Fall is here. Now, let’s enjoy it.
P.S. Oh, alright. I’ll give you a clue on the store name, as long as you promise not to snag all the great scarves. It’s a downtown store and it rhymes with TAFFIES. There. That’s it. No more clues. You’re on your own now for the great scarf hunt.
