Description:
I love scarves. They are so versatile. You can wear them on your head, neck, as a shirt, as an accent to your skirt. You can even turn them into a fashionable sling in an emergency. So you will have two partners to give a scarf to. Pass on one that you love but don't wear all that often, or go to a vintage store or thrift store and find one that you think they may like. Please feel free to make comments about what styles you like, colors, florals, prints, just to give each other an idea of something they may enjoy. Also maybe throw in a description of your favorite and most creative way to wear/use a scarf if you have a little extra time! THIS IS NOT FOR WOOL WINTER SCARVES! Happy swapping.

Is this sender's choice? It might be difficult to find exactly what the partners want, if not.

I love autumn or primary colors. Please do not send me anything in pastel!

I love anything that's not too gaudy or loud. All colors, pastels, brights, are great.

This is such a great idea! I cannot wait to get started! I absolutely love scarves.. I love all types of colors, scarves with fringe and patterns are also great!

Please no animal print. But besides that, go nuts! :D I like to take the long narrow silk scarves and wrap my long hair in them. It holds my hair like a bun without pulling it. If I get a cotton or linen scarf one day, I'll look very Italian! :D

Newbies are welcome and really it's senders choice on the style and fabric of scarf, I just want to make sure we understand that its the light decorative ones not the heavy winter ones

Lately I've taken to wearing certain scarves tied around my neck bank-robber style XD My current favorite, but there's the ever-popular hair-wrapping and sarong-styling and crap as well! Sooo fun.
