What to wear now & later: scarves

School is in session, football season has begun, the Halloween decorations are on display at Target, fall fashion season has supposedly arrived....so why is it still 90 degrees outside?  And more importantly, what's a stylish mom to wear right now?

Answer: scarves.  Wrap a lightweight scarf around your neck with a plain tank top or v-neck tee back with shorts and gladiator sandals.  So easy.  When the weather finally cools, you can wear that scarf draped around a trench coat or cardigan or pair it back with a long sleeve tee.

The scarves listed below are all under $20 and add instant chic to a basic jeans and tee look.  For those of you who lack skills in the scarf-wrapping department, you can pick up a basic circle scarf (also called infinity scarf) where the work is already done for you - just throw it on like you would a necklace.
