I love scarves (the silk kind). I wrap them around my neck and let the ends hang loose down the front (this leaves room for a necklace, too, since I'm a jewelry junkie). I also use them as belts or around my hair as a headband. I must have a collection of about 25 scarves (and growing!). I love them. You can pin them with a brooch as well. Very versatile and I think they add flair to any outfit.
I have to say I loooove a really simple outfit with eye catching accessories,, and am all about wearing all black w/a really funky bag, scarf, or headband in a pucci print or similar.
