Beach, Please!

The Fashion Magpie Beach Scarf

Hahahaha the title of this post.

But guys — partly inspired by my post on what I’d like to wear for our planned trip to the Hampton’s for the Fourth of July, and partly inspired by the discovery of the above babe via Pinterest, I’m now mega into the idea of wearing my new Hermes-lookalike scarf (under $50!!!!) to the beach this summer.  I already own a Missoni turban/headband similar to the style shown below that I absolutely love to pull out during the summer — it’s super boho but I’m into it (though I also like this more elegant Pucci style) — but I’m now dying over a vision of myself wearing a scarf wrapped around my head and knotted in the back.  Will I look like a European princesa floating around on a yacht in the Mediterranean!?

And speaking of Missoni, I like the idea of wearing my headscarf (or this Gucci…WOW) with this Missoni-esque crochet cover up (under $120!)!  Perfect along with a simple one-piece like this or my tried-and-true Solid + Striped Annemarie one-piece (on sale here!).

While we’re on this topic, am I too young to pull off Jackie O.’s headscarf thing?  Will I look like an old Italian grandma pushing one of those wheeled shopping carts around the city?  Y/N.

Finally, if you’re liking the idea of the scarf situation but not ready to go full-on turban, you can get just a taste with this scarf-inspired headband from Anthro, or this one from H+M (only $10! — and while we’re talking bargain buys, this scarf from H+M is VERY Gucci RN).

And if you like the scarf idea but aren’t into putting it anywhere near your hair, how about these scarf-accented heels (so freaking CHIC!), these Liberty of London scarf sandals, or this scarf-print kimono!  I like the idea of tossing it on over a bathing suit, or wearing it, as in the third color variation, with white skinnies and a black tee.
