Video Transcript

"Next, I'm going to be helping you accessorize your perfect vintage outfit. There's so many accessories out there that you can work with. Accessories really are what's going to bring it in and tie it all together and really complete the look of your vintage look. Now, one classic staple that you just can't go wrong with, even if you don't want to wear the vintage dress, the sweater or anything, it's just a really fun staple for women to use any time of the day, I'd say are scarves. I've got probably fifty of these at home, so I just brought a few to show you some different designs. Scarves are great. You can look for solids like this. You can find some fun prints like these. They're just great and one thing that they're really, really good for is not just to tie around the neck and do the classic around the neck like this, but there's actually a lot more uses for them than you think. Again, you can tie them like this. I'm just going real quick to show you and maybe you already know you can wear them like this. Another idea, a lot of women will use them for and it looks really cute, is when you fold one that you get that's a nice square. It looks really nice to just tie one on over your head. Bring it around and tie it like this. You know, when you've got your rollers in your hair and you're driving your Corvette, you don't want your hair going everywhere, right? But there's a lot of really fun uses for the scarves than just around the neck or the hair. Another thing you can do with your scarves rather than just tying them around your neck or using them in your hair is you can tie them onto your purse or luggage, whatever, granted this one's a little bit too big but you'll get the idea. It just adds a really nice touch, adds a nice little piece of flowing fabric on there and just kind of looks cute. Again, this one's a little bit too big, but find one that matches your purse, maybe one that matches the design or the cut, so it's on there. But anyway, keep your eyes open for scarves. They're just a really perfect accessory to use. And the best part is they're going to run you one to five dollars in the thrift stores. Even in the vintage stores, they don't sell them for too much. But keep your eyes open for different shapes, something like this, a nice full square. This one kind of a little bit longer. But you can do different things with the different cuts of them. They're just a lot of fun to work with and you can do a lot more than anything. And they're a great, affordable vintage staple to have in your collection. "
