Versatility

I just wanted to show off this hand crocheted cozy neck warmer my Mama made for me! :) 

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this item! It's so warm & functional.. & going to keep my long neck warm this winter. ;)

The cowl/tube scarf/neck-warmer/circle scarf/scarf hoodie idea is a real versatile accessory!

Depending on the size & material, it can be worn as loose & cowl-like, as a normal scarf & wrap it around, fold it down, or pulled up like a hood!

These types of accessories are part of the key Fall/Winter looks stemming from the layering & cocooning trends.

I think the below shot from Missoni's Fall 09 runways speaks for itself :)
