Here’s summer scarf method #1: Long and loose!

Polka dot blouse, thrifted – similar
Bow-front skirt, Cynthia Steffe via Opitz – similar
Peeptoes, Jil Sander via Fashion Avenue – similar
Necklace, a gift – similar look
Bracelet, J.Crew (no longer available) – similar
Earrings, The Wellington Boot
Bag, Hype via LastCall – similar – budget
