Hey Everyone!
I really enjoy going to events where I’m required to dress up a little. It could be the Southern Belle in me, but I can’t help but get excited when I know I’m going to an event that requires a little more effort than the usual jeans and t-shirt ensemble. As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I was sick all of last week and didn’t have the opportunity to get out to take pictures like I normally do. Thankfully, I had backup outfit photos from my niece’s graduation in May that I hadn’t used yet.
A while back, I was gifted a beautiful silk scarf from La Fiorentina NYC, an accessories company founded in Florence, Italy in 1991. I couldn’t wait to wear it but knew I didn’t want to wear this scarf in the same way I normally wear my other scarves. It’s so big that I wanted to use it as a shawl instead. When it comes to wearing summer scarves, the important thing is the fabric. How heavy is it? Warmer temperatures most certainly require light fabrics. When I was in NYC I saw quite a few people wearing scarves so it’s not uncommon at all to wear one during the summer but I would advise that you find one in the lightest fabric possible. My new La Fiorentina scarf is very light. It provided me with just enough coverage to get rid of the chill of being inside the Georgia Dome, but was light enough for me to continue wearing while outside. I love the bright yellow color of this scarf!
Here’s my look:

La Fiorentina has a great variety of scarves, wraps, ponchos and other accessories. The prices are a bit up there, but they’re very lovely. My mother actually tried to steal this one from me. LOL!
Have you ever heard of La Fiorentina? Do you wear summer scarves?
Until next time!

Michelle Salais says
You look lovely in yellow. I’ve never heard of them before. And, yes I do wear summer scarves but, only at night when it gets a little chilly outside.
Johnnalynn Lynch says
Hi Michelle! Thank you! For me, it really depends on just how hot it is. Like today, for example, it’s SUPER hot in Atlanta so I would definitely not wear a scarf on a day like this. 🙂

I am coo coo for scarves any time of year. They pull together any outfit and add that little splash of accent. When I was younger I did not particularly care for them, idk why I felt that way back then. Yes I have heard of La Fiorentina before. Though I do not own anything from them, yet. that is the big word. Yet. :o) Their line for summer is very colorful , airy and a little whimsical too.
Johnnalynn Lynch says
Hi April! Yes they have some great colors for the summer! I’m just like you…I didn’t use to care for scarves either but now I own way too many of them. LOL! Thanks for the comment!
Starla B says

Thank you Starla! It’s such a big scarf that it seemed like a good way to change it up 🙂

Karen Beckett says
I have never tried wearing summer scarves. This one looks stunning on you!
Johnnalynn Lynch says
Hi Karen! Thanks so much! I know it doesn’t really seem practical because the weather is warm but if you have a scarf made from really light fabric, you really can’t tell much.
