Trendwatch: Silk Scarves

Hi, my name is Jessie from Style & Pepper, and I have a problem. 

The first step is admitting it, right?  It is NO secret that I have a thorough and on-going love affair with vintage silk scarves...

 Swaps



...And because my collection continues to grow, I'm always looking for new and creative ways to incorporate them into my life and personal style. I've spotted a few clever uses for them around the web recently, so I thought I'd share them with you and perhaps see if you had any fabulous ideas of your own!

Alright, I'm ready for your brilliant ideas: what is the most unique way you can think of to use a silk scarf on yourself or in your home? Help a sister out by justifying her obsession, won't you?! ;)

aww I love all the way she used them, esp as bracelets & curtains, which I hadn't though of. I've only ever worn silk ones on my head but always say I'll tie one on a purse. She looks darling w/ them on as well!
