SCARVES: Hippie Chic

A must-have during the early days and a fashionable trend today scarves can be worn many ways and add an elegant touch to any outfit dressy or casual. But when worn (gypsy-style) extra long, wrapped around the head and tied to the side it always brings to mind the 1960's hippie movement and the young people who were involved. This head accessory made quite a fashion statement during this time when paired with long dresses, wide-leg pants, beaded necklaces, large gemstones rings and platform shoes.
