One of my favorite accessories during the slightly cooler months is a lightweight scarf with fun colors and patterns. But when summer comes around, I usually don't need the extra coverage so I love the idea of tying the scarf onto your bag.

I would pair the scarf with a white vneck and cutoffs…..the bag would be filled with snacks and bottle of vino for the beach!
I’ve got to be honest, y’all have nailed the styling. So I would use that scarf to adorn any bag! But I would also loosely wrap it around my neck in the evenings when I walked to my local ice cream parlor for ice cream sandwiches.
This would look awesome looped around the handles of my white patent Kate Spade handbag!
These would go great with a white tee and skinny jeans. Classic for a summer evening and outside dining!
I could use that scarf in oh so many ways! In my hair, as a halter top with some summery white shorts, on my new Ellington bag, around my neck, as a wrap at the pool, as a pouch for my lunch at the beach … the possibilities are endless, really.
I’d use it as a head scarf – keep that hair out of my face!
Besides wearing scarves around my neck, I LOVE putting a lightweight one in my hair and then head to the pool!
Definitely for a beach, swimsuit, flip flops and glass of a cocktail.. Aaaaah!
The darling May flowers scarf would be a gorgeous headband for heading off to the beach.
I live in Florida so wearing the scarf anywhere on my body would be much too hot. I would definitely tie it on a bag though!
I would also use it as a belt to add a bit color.
Or for friends I love – I would use the scarf as ribbon to wrap gifts.
I’d throw it over my shoulders with a summer dress and espadrilles!
I’ve been in the market for lightweight scarves – I have to wear them on my scooter to protect my neck (and to be oh so fashionable!) love the idea of tying them on to my bag after hopping off.
I’m so envious that this is only limited to US readers! I wear a scarf everyday – we’re not having much of a summer to speak of over in London at the moment. I am wearing scarves to cheer up my simple light jumpers/sweaters or when I am brave, a jersey top or shirt, for work.
I just love accessorising with scarves – they are great when you are not sure what the weather will be like.
This scarf is absolutely gorgeous!
I wear scarves in the summer…with my pink jeans and white tshirt!
I love wearing a scarf to work to cover up bare shoulders. Love the idea of tying to my bag when I leave the office.
I love the idea of using the scarf to tie up my hair on hot summer days!
I love the bag and the scarf….I still love to wear scarves all summer and a light scarf is perfect for wrapping around my shoulders to protect from the suns rays at my sons baseball games when often their is not a speck of shade or in a cafe when the sun shifts a bit and all of a sudden you find yourself in the direct sun.

I like pairing scarves with a muted sundress and a bright cardigan!
i think as long as the scarf is light enough, it could be worn in the summer. i’d probably tie it up like a longer necklace, instead of winding it around my neck.
What a pretty scarf! I’m always cold, especially going to places like church and the grocery store (random I know) where they blast the AC like crazy. I’d wear this scarf with a summery dress to stay warm!
What a cute set! I do like the scarf on bag look, but I also love a loosely tied scarf around the neck when the air conditioning in my office is just too much!
I’d tie my hair up with a pretty scarf like that!
Very cute bag and scarf! I live where it is really hot and humid in the summer, but inside my office where I work it is freezing! I would wear the scarf inside at work to help keep me warm.
Oh! I love this scarf and it’s so affordable! 🙂 I’d wear it to spice up some of my plain solid-colored dresses or a white v-neck and jeans. I usually carry around a scarf or a cardigan every where I go in the summer even if it’s in the 90s because stores and shops are always at frigid temps!
I would tie my hair up with this o-so-cute scarf while sitting on the beach or by the pool!
Love it! This would be adorable folded up to use as a headband, or loosely draped around the neck with a tank top for summer nights.
I would wear it on the beach in the evening when it gets chilly on my trip to Massachusetts!
I’d wear it with a white tee & denim shorts to the beach 😀
I love a bright scarf in the hair, but also around the neck on the cooler east coast nights!
I’d wear that cute scarf in my hair!
LOVE this look just as you styled it! But the scarf would also look great loosely wrapped around my neck with a jean skirt and white T.
I’d tie it around my head as a head scarf…until I got too cold in San Francisco…then I would use it as a scarf scarf.
I love the scarf tied to the bag and the scarf would be great to wear when I run into a freezing cold store!
Love the colors in the scarf! I would pair it with my slouchy, white tank, denim shorts & a set of bangles I recently bought.
i would tie it around the bag as a nice touch of colour. That way I’d always have it handy to wrap around my neck or as a headband on a windy day! thanks for the giveaway, joy!
white t and skinny jeans! done.
I love it on the bag. I would keep it there so I have it when I go to a restaurant and freeze because the AC is up so high.
I love pulling back my hair and using a lighter summer scarf to wrap around it, 50’s-style!
I’d wear it around my neck even in the summer! Our office is always freezing and for some reason if my neck is warm, the rest of me is ok.
I love wearing scarfs over a light sweater and shorts, perfect for those slightly chilly summer days 🙂
I adore the Ellington tote bag and A-Thread scarf. For the summer, I’d use the scarf to add a punch to my outfit. I’d like to wear the scarf as a statement necklace.
I would pair it with a simple maxi dress on cooler MN nights
I would tie it to my toddler’s stroller and showcase it as the loveliest sun shade ever.
This scarf is the same colors as my Alma Mater, Syracuse University – so i’d wear it while watching SU football and basketball games in style 😉
I’d use it as a belt in my favorite jeans, or as a headwrap on those crazy summer hair days!
I use scarves incessantly all summer long, but my favorite is to keep one on my beach bag and use it as a bandeau while tanning. Also nice for tying up my beachy curls for post-sun dining.
Scarf as sarong (even a super short sarong!)
omg! this giveaway is so perfect for me 🙂 i am wearing a lightweight scarf right now with a tank and black pants. its a perfect way to keep warm at work when they have the ac blasting. i also love love love this bag. i am in need of a replacement for my current bag thats just not cutting it on the cute factor. keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
I’d wrap this lovely scarf around my neck for a little color on a cloudy day in Pittsburgh.
The scarf would go in a bow around my neck for a fancy dinner with friends or in my hair if I’m off to work (: or as a belt around a long summer dress!
They blast the air conditioner at work, so I’d wear it inside, like a winter scarf. All summer long.
I’d wear the scarf long and loose with a cardigan in the evenings (and probably end up using it to shade the baby in the stroller). Cross-body bags are also the best when you have little kids.
their scarves look perfect to pair with a nautical outfit for upcoming boat rides..
I’d wear it with a simple white tshirt to dress it up! Keeps me warm at work!
I love the idea of tying a scarf to my tote! Then you’ll have it close by for chilly air conditioning!
Thanks for the great give away!
I don’t mind a scarf in the summer, maybe not wrapped around the neck, but just long and loose. Adds a pop of color to any plain tee. LOVE the bag.
This scarf would be a perfect and stylish way to protect my hair at the beach…or to warm up in my chilly office.
I find that the AC is so cold in the summer that I need to wear a scarf to add some extra warmth! I think it’d be cute to use it as a headwrap/headband.
love scarves, summer or otherwise. especially in a chilly air conditioned office!
Oh my gosh I would love this! When it’s really hot in the summer I like to use light scarves to tie my hair back so none of it is touching my neck.
I’m thinking I could possibly bring the Punky Brewster look back. Tie it around my leg? No? It could work! I’ll send pictuers 🙂
I always keep a scarf in the office for when the AC gets too high. I drape it over the back of my chair for a cheerful touch of color.
i love scarves for rainy summer days! so great.
So pretty! They’d make great beach wraps, hair kerchiefs…and emergency hankies! :o)
for the beach!
I love tying scarves to bags! I’ve been wanting to experiment with tying a scarf to my head but as yet I’ve been a wee bit too scared!
It s a perfect bike riding bag/scarf combo. Especially for the san francisco days that start all sunny and nice and end blanketed in fog.
I wear scarves everyday. Even in the TX summer heat, I always carry one because I tend to get very cold with blasting a/c.
I love wearing headscarves, so I would definitely do this one up “Rosie the Riveter” style 🙂

Summer scarves are a necessity! I bring one to work most days–the office is kept so cold, having a light scarf is the perfect addition to an outfit without requiring lots of extra bulk. And on the walk/drive home, it ties nicely around a purse.
I would just wear it with shorts and a light and simple summery shirt!
i’d love to throw it on my head, tie it tight, and add some jackie O shades at the beach. 🙂
I’d use it as a lightweight bit of sun protection while sitting outside!
I think the scarf would make a cute belt with a white skirt or pair of white cutoffs.
I love to use cute scarfs in my hair this one looks perfect for summer strolls.
A scarf like this would be perfect for those new days of motherhood to add a little flair to that awkward clothing stage. 🙂
Around my hair, or on the shoulders either to keep off the sun or in the cooler evenings.
I always have a scarf with me during the summer. So much easier to carry than a sweater and a necessity in the A/C.
The perfect extra layer for a quick plane flight, tied around the straps of a straw farmers market bag or to top off a white maxi dress with flat sandals…even works draped over a coat rack for a pop of color in an entryway. I love using clothing as home accessories.
As a pretty hair tie!
I’d throw the bag over my shoulder, and tie that scarf in my hair! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
i would use this lovely scarf as a belt! 😉 to add some color to my summer shorts!!
That Annie Tote looks awesome for work travel. I’d love to wear one of those scarves with a cute beach dress. Nothing beats a light scarf on a breezy, summer beach night
I love how you’ve styled it! I think for Summer I’d use scarves in my hair to add a little flair! 🙂
I would use it as a blanket for sunbathing in the park!
I love both of those! In Michigan, our summer nights can still get a bit chilly, so I would tie the scarf around my bag during the day, and use the scarf around my neck at night!
I would tie it around my waist over some shorts or wear it with a simple white tank. So pretty
I would use the scarf for my chilly subway rides to and from work.
This would be perfect for night time chills after the bbq is over but you still don’t want to go inside!
I’d wear the scarf in the mornings and evenings with a t-shirt and jeans. I love the Ellington bag!
I’d love a scarf like this for throwing around my shoulders at night or helping navigate the challenging world of flip-flopping A/C and heat in the summer!
I’d love to wear this to work. The AC’s always blasting! Thank you for the giveaway.
Even in hot weather, I find that light scarves like this are really useful in overly air-conditioned offices and movie theaters!
i’d don this scarf hung around my neck- not looped… and always have something pretty for my fidgety hands to play with. great give away combo!
This would be wonderful paired with a chambray dress and black ballet flats. The scarf is just gorgeous!
I’d wear that scarf over a maxi dress and then belt it, like this: http://www.runningonhappiness.com/2012/05/summers-go-to-look-maxi-dresses.html
It’s still pretty chilly in Seattle, so I would probably use it around my neck. A hair accessory sounds lovely, also.
I could also use it under a black blazer to add color to a drab office outfit.
I love the idea of putting it with your bag to brighten it up for summer! Also I love wearing scarves as headbands, I think it’s a unique way to liven up a wardrobe. Thanks for this giveaway!!
as a turban of course! I love tying my hair back with a scarf while I ride my bike. It seems so lovely and elegant. love the scarf and the bag!
Beautiful items — I visited both shops and love the bags and scarves!
I would use the scarf as a headband/wrap — great to keep hair off your neck in the warm months. Thanks!
Love it! I’d tie it around my purse during the day and wear it around my neck during the still-chilly LA summer nights!
Scarves are my favorite accessory! I’ve been looking for a good summer scarf. I would wear it with a solid color dress and use the bag as a fancy looking beach tote – filled with all the essentials. 🙂
Definitely packing a scarf on vacation for cool evenings, to pair with summery dresses and sandals
Nice way to add summery colors to any outfit. 🙂
definitely as a head scarf!
I would definitely wear this scarf with my favorite denim jacket. Nice and casual for the summer evenings! I love that bag, also. Nice pick!
I would love to use it in my hair!
These would be the perfect accessories to my vacation in Mexico next month! I’d wear the scarf in my hair with a high ballerina bun, a simple sun dress and some bright-colored sandals or flats! Great giveaway, Joy!!
It would really cute with a white or black tank dress and some flat sandals. Great way to give a simple outfit some pop!
I like to wear lots of grey, so jazzing up my outfits with some color is a must! I would wear it in my hair or even wrap it around my purse’s straps.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d wear it in my hair.
I’d use this scarf as a headband while on my backpacking trip around southeast asia. Who says you can’t rough it and be chic at the same time?
I would use it to add some much needed color to my wardrobe!
I love the look of a summer scarf with a simple T. It moves seamlessly from neck to waist as the sun rises.
I love those bags and I am definitely going to have to do some shopping at A-Thread. A scarf would be so handy to have for cooler restaurants. I’m almost always chilly indoors during summer since the ac is kept so cold so having a scarf tied around my purse would be so handy. Crossing my fingers 🙂
It’d be rather adorable for an outdoor summer concert, as it does get a bit cooler in the evening.
I think the scarf would make a great preppy belt w/ white jeans and a chambray shirt! but since I’m preggo I would stick with around the neck for now. 🙂
This is such a cute pair. I absolutely love lightweight scarves in the summer to dress up shorts and a tank top. I can imagine wearing this while I am watching the July 4th fireworks on the beach!
I would bring my scarf to work for those hot summer days where AC feels quite chilly!
Living in Seattle, we can pretty much wear scarves 11 months out of the year. I will wear one today as it won’t break 65 degrees. I also am 7 weeks pregnant and have been using scarves this week to hide my ever groaning chest line and bloated tummy. 🙂
Hmmm … I’d use the scarf as a little blanket on the airplane (around my shoulders, you know), as a light-weight shawl at my wedding, to tie up my hair … I’d probably never leave the house without it, honestly. I’m a bit of a scarf addict!
How cute is everything at A-Thread?! I would probably pair the scarf with a summery white sundress and camel colored flats. It would be perfect for watching fireworks on the fourth!
I use it to cover up a little while nursing my little one in public.
While I don’t need a scarf outside in the summer, the office is always frigid! I wear them to keep me warmer inside 🙂
Keep it basic: oversized neutral tee, skinny jeans, and that scarf. Cute!
I always pair mine with a cute dress and heels. A good scarf is always needed on the airconditioned public transit of Chicago!
I would get giant sunglass and put the scarf over my head, you know… getting that old classy look.
Hi there!
I love wearing a lightweight scarf in the mornings to ward off the early am chill. This scarf would be perfect with a summer dress for work or with a t & jeans for a coffee run. Thanx Joy!

On a summer night, especially if I’m by the beach, I’d pull it out of my bag and wrap it around my neck to warm me up.
I’ve been thinking about adding a scarf into some of my summer outfits, but I keep shying away from it, so I would probably start out by pairing it with a simple outfit like jeans and a white shirt.
I could see using this scarf to help shield my baby from the sun on the beach, or in reality I could see my son playing with it and getting a little drool on it 🙂
I am a big fan of pairing a light scarf with solid color maxi dresses to give it a little something extra!
I live in the Bay Area and would wear the scarf in the summer fog!
I’d try it as a hair accessory/head covering when I’m running behind and don’t have time to shower. Of course, living in Seattle we can pretty much use scarves year-round !
Summer hasn’t started here in Seattle yet. It’s still cloudy, cold, and rainy, so I’m still wearing scarves to keep my neck warm! Once the weather warms up, though, I could see this scarf doubling as a shawl over a simple sundress. Thanks!!
Would love to wear this scarf with a t-shirt and skinny jeans. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would use it as a summery head piece when going to the beach.
i would wear it with a white tee and boyfriend jeans!
LOVE the bag! I’d use the scarf to tie back my crazy curls . . .
I love the bag and the scarf. I would use the scarf to keep the chill of the AC off in my office and in my hair at the beach. Love!
Depending on the size of this scarf, I might attempt to use tie it up as a headband or even sport it around my waist with skinny jeans and a tank. Thanks Joy!
I always like to have a scarf when I go on the airplane because I can use it around my neck or as a blanket (since airplanes can get so chilly). Then when I get to my destination, I can use it as a wrap at the pool!
I would use a scarf to tie up my hair while enjoying the pool or beach!!!
White v-neck, high wasted dark washed jeans, bright Saltwaters, with the scarf tied on my head around a top-knot bun!
a light scarf is the perfect travel accessory because you never know what the temperature will be on a plane!
I’d use it to help keep my hair up and out of my face!
We recently finished restoration on our 1967 MGB Roadster – this summer weight scarf would be a chic way to keep my hair back while cruising around. And the fresh blue color matches the new paint job.
I live in San Francisco – where sometimes we can eat Thanksgiving dinner outside, but need wool sweaters for July – and where light layers are the key to comfort. Even on sunny days, a scarf is sometimes necessary. I’d use that scarf in the “normal” wrap-around my neck way all year long…paired with some great basics, like jeans, a white tshirt and a blazer or bomber jacket.
The summer evenings in Colorado are definitely cooler than the hot day time. It would be great to wrap around your shoulders when your out and about in the evening!
I’d grab a scarf for laying on the beach in the evening, just as it’s getting cooler. Ahhh love summer!
I would wear it on cool nights at the beach but it would probably be used more to shade my little baby from the sun.
I’d love to wear the scarf with my favorite blue jeans and white t-shirt.
I would love using it as a head band! or maybe as a sarong for the pool!
I would definitely tie that lovely scarf around my head while I’m at the pool. It would be the perfect accessory to keep my scalp from burning!
A scarf is always needed on Cape Cod in the evenings!
I like tying scarves to handbags, but I’ve also tied them around my waist, too!
We live in Seattle, so a lightweight scarf in the summer sounds perfect! It’s our first year here, so I’m still getting used to the idea of a not-blazing-hot summer (from Florida!) I’m very excited about it, but I’ll be best off if I’m prepared for a chilly breeze.
Tying around a bag…genius! I had never thought of that, but I would certainly tie the scarf around the bag!
Megan
I would use a lightweight scarf to cover my shoulders when visiting churches on my trip to Italy (no knees, cleavage, or shoulders allowed).
Summer means beach and many scarves can double as coverups, sarongs, and skirts for some sun and sand time.
I love to wear a scarf on my head in the summertime, especially when I’m at the beach or another windy place and need to keep my hair out of my face. I’m thinking this one would look perfect with my red bathing suit! 🙂
I would use it as a head wrap!
I would hold it in the air like a kite, ready to take me on with it.
I would wear it on the beach!
I love using scarfs a a head wrap when going to the beach. Much more comfy and pretty than an elastic headband!
The scarf would be perfect on cooler summer nights with any outfit. Thanks!
the scarf would be great on the purse during the day and on my neck at night… say at a beach bonfire 🙂
I agree that the summer months are a bit too hot for a scarf but I do love taking them with me to summer concerts because the night time tends to get a little chilly. And that bag is simply beautiful!
Oh how cute and summery! I’d use the scarf to tie back my hair. 🙂
It work equally as well as a wrap around your shoulders on cool nights.
I would use a scarf like this as a headband!
I am taking a late summer trip to Paris and Sweden. These accessories would be fantasic. A good over the shoulder bag for easy use while traveling and a light pretty scarf for nice summer nights in europe. Tre Chic!
The bag and scarf are both so cute! I would probably tie the scarf around my head as a hair accessory, or even wear it around my neck on a cooler day.
I wear scarves a lot in the office since the AC is always on full blast! The bag would no doubt be filled with goldfish and other treats for my little one. 😉
Since I largely work indoors, I could still rock a scarf in the summer. But realistically, the scarf will most likely wind up as my 4-mth old daughters plaything, because doesn’t everything?
Everyone needs a scarf in the summer to deal with the frigid air conditioning. Winter is warmer!
This scarf is a great size for a beach cover-up or head scarf to tie in a bow on top. Adorable!
being pregnant this summer- try to make my beachy look really cute so i forget how big my tummy is. i’d use this scarf as a coverup over my bump (tied in front)! love this scarf joy,thanks for the post!
I would wear it many different ways, with a tee-shirt and jeans, tied to my bag, over a dress, etc
Scarves are great to use in the place of light cardigans, at the movies or mall, or wherever there’s a bit too much AC.
Both of these pieces are beautiful. Thank you!
i’d use the scarf in my hair!
Oh CUTEness! the bag and scarf= perfect travel ensemble. Bag for keeping all travel essentials & toddler gear hidden chic-ly, and scarf to dress up my jeans, sandals & white tee travel uniform! amazing!

Love the bag and scarf combo!
What a lovely giveaway! I don’t know if I can pull it off by I like tying a scarf around my head when I’m headed to the beach — very old Hollywood! 😉
Thanks,
Carol S
I love the look of scarves tied to handbags. It gives it an instant pop of color and contributes to your outfit without adding extra heat- important for us here in Austin. Another cute way to style it is to use it as a 50’s style head-band. Cute and keeps the sun off your head.
I’d do a simple outfit – a white v neck with skinny jeans or shorts with this scarf!
I’d use it as a head scarf…preferably on a boat!
Megan
I’d put the scarf on my woven straw bag. Thanks for doing this!
I wear scarfs with shorts shorts and a t-shirt – put the scarf around my neck to cover up that sunburn I always seem to have (even with SPF 50)
I wuld use it to belt a loose cotton dress. So cute!
I would use it as a head wrap!
I love to wear my kinky hair in huge waves. I’d adorn my crown with this scarf to give flavor to my bright white jeans!
The scarf would be perfect for keeping warm while catching an outdoor movie at the Forever Forever Cemetery this summer!
In the summer I love to tie a lightweight scarf to whatever bag I’m carrying so that when I inevitably end up in an overly air conditioned environment I have something to throw over my shoulders…
it’ll be perfect to use it as a belt 🙂 or just as a normal scarf, my favorite way.
I’d wear the scarf with something white for 4th of July fireworks!
God I love that bag… I work by the beach, so it’s often breezy and cooler here than it is inland. I wear scarves all year long. There’s nothing better than a tshirt, sandals and a lightweight patterned scarf!
I think it would be so cute to tie a colorful scarf around the waist of a black linen summer dress. Great giveaway!
San Francisco’s summers are cool and foggy so light scarves are a must around these parts! You’ll never find me without one slung around my bag’s handle. When vacationing elsewhere I take along my summer scarves to double as wraps around my waist on the beach.
(And SWOON, I love this tote!!)
I’d wear it with jeans and a tee. Scarves are totally wearable in SF during our non- sweltering summer.
I would use this scarf when I travel for my new job – it can double as a blanket with the plane gets chilly and make my outfit look put together easily!
it would be great for a summer night when a scarf wrapped around the neck is just the right amount of warmth!
I would wear this with shorts and a tank to an outdoor evening dinner!
I do lots of plane travel for work – this scarf is the perfect accessory for flying. It will spice up a basic travel outfit and provide an added layer for warmth in the chill of the airport or plane cabin.
I am big fan of scarves and this one is just so pretty with its colors and stripes. It would be perfect with a tee and jeans in summer!
Tying a scarf to a bag is always a fun summery way to wear a scarf… and in the south where I’m from, you’d be a fool to actually *wear* a scarf in the summer—TOO HOT! … but if I lived somewhere that had milder summers, I’d definitely wear it normally, or as a belt or hair accessory.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Ooh, headwrap. Or belt!
I would definitely use it as a wrap at the pool or beach to cover up my fair skin!
i live in the SF bay area so i actually wear a scarf most evenings, so i could tie around my bag during the day (like i did this morning) and then wear it when the sun goes down.
this would look lovely with a simple sundress as well!
That scarf is PERFECT for an evening stroll along the boardwalk and that bag will easily transition into fall!
i would wear the scarf on a summer night with my hair up in a bun.
I’d tie the scarf to my carry-on to use when I’m freezing on a plane en route to London later this year.
Probably wear with white tee and skinnies! Fill bag up with magazines and iPad!
loosely around the neck for warm, yet slightly breezy, summer evenings
I would wear the scarf with a cute dress and sandals, or jean shorts and a white t-shirt.Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I would wear the scarf with a summery maxi dress & flats!
I’ll be using scarves (later this summer) as nursing covers for my soon to hatch babe!
So adorable! I would use the scarf as a fun, summery belt with a pair of paper bag shorts!
Love it tied to the bag!
~CP
Living in LA near the beach it still gets chilly in the summer time at night. So during the warm day I would have my scarf tied around my bag, but then could easily put it on for a little extra warmth in the evening!
Love the scarf! It would definitely be perfect for around my shoulders on cool summer nights.
I work at an outdoor film festival in the summer, so I always have a scarf on hand for when the temperature drops, but sometimes I use it as an impromptu hood to protect myself during unexpected rain showers!

Love this look! I’m in San Francisco where the summer can be COLD, so a scarf is a must. I would tie this striped scarf in a large bow around my neck (and to the side) while wearing a classic little black dress with a low back for a night on the town. My hair in an up-do, of course, to show off the beautiful scarf.
I’d drape the scarf loose around my shoulders with a chambray shirt dress. It can warm up a summer outfit indoors. It can tie around the fold over tote bag when outdoors. 🙂
I’d wear mine with jeans and a tee to the farmers market early before it warms ups.
I love wearing scarfs like this in the summer time! It’s a great addition to a casual night time outfit in LA, since it can actually get pretty chilly. I’d love to pair it with white jeans and a summer army jacket.

I would wrap this beautiful scarf around my baby and shield her from the hot AZ sun 🙂
I would wear my scarf as a headband in the summer. It’s cute, simple, and stylish.
Wrap the scarf around my wrist a few times…a little color and texture!
If I’m wearing a particularly bland skirt, or when I want the illusion of the waistband being higher, I flatten the scarf around my waist and tie a bow in the back (kind of like a bustle?). It also helps hide a little muffin top/squeeze around the waist.
I would wrap my hair up and do yoga on the beach!

Love it to snaz up a bag, or around my head for a more laid back day:)
Love that bag and scarf. I still wear scarves in summer if it’s not incredibly hot but always carry one because of the chilly subways or classrooms when I’m teaching. One like this would be perfect for me!
besides wearing it artfully tied around my neck, i might use it to carry some fruit home from the farmer’s market after work, furoshiki-style.
Love both of these items! A Thread is so great.
I like to wear thinner scarves in my hair – helps tame it fast and still look girly!
Thanks for the chance!
I actually use scarves year-round; in the summer, I often tie it to my purse the way you do it here, and in the evenings, when it gets chilly, I’d take it off my purse and use it as a wrap; other times, I’d use it as a pareo at the beach. I love the functionality of scarves; I’ve also used it as a blanket in the car or the plane.

I cycle a lot and it’s always a bit on the chilly side in the mornings here in Boston. I wear a lightweight scarf and later in the day, I wear it around my neck, just keep the ends hanging, not wrapped around my neck. I love tossing a summerweight scarf around my shoulders at the beach, after getting out of the water…the bag is a bit on the dark side for my taste. Tying the scarf on is a nice way to lighten up the look.
I would just wear the scarf loosely tied around my neck. The perfect topper to any outfit.
so cute! i’d wear it around my neck – i love to wear plain tops/dresses and pair it with scarves to pick up the whole look.

I just booked a trip to Istanbul. The scarf would make a perfect head covering for the mosques and the bag is the ideal size for travel.
We always have June gloom this time of year, so it’s always chilly in the morning. Having a light scarf is perfect for keeping the neck warm in the a.m., and then as the day gets warmer, hanging it loose around the neck for added color!
I’m tote-ally addicted to scarves, bags and your blog!

This scarf would be super cute as a poolside/beach coverup tied around the waist. I love this tote. I’ve been really into taking random film pictures, so I’d fill it up with my “of the moment” cameras!
Would love to dress up a plain t-shirt with this.
I would absolutely wear this scarf over my bathing suit when the ocean breeze starts to cool down!
I LOVE this gorgeous scarf (and bag)! I would throw that scarf in my hair and hit the beach! 🙂
I’d use this scarf as a belt on cute vintage dress!
i love to wear light scarves with a blazer to look stylish at work!
I’ve always loved the look of tying a scarf to a bag. Love the color it adds! You could also use the scarf as a belt in the summer time
