I found myself looking through pictures of Katie Holmes today. As you know, the actress loves to wear scarves. You can see all our posts about her here. Now here’s a recent shot of the actress that made me take a second glance – her in a cozy sweater with a tassel trimmed scarf around her neck:

Now I am no fan of big tassels or pom poms on scarves, but I would have to say she actually looks cute here. And I can see that she really made the scarf her “own”; something that doesn’t usually happen to people who sport heavily trimmed scarves because in most cases, they either wear it wrong or it looks awkward (and sometimes too much).

This also brings me to the question, how do you girls feel about heavily tasseled or pom pom trimmed scarves? 

Personally I am not into it. I prefer understated dressing and tasseled or pom pom scarves don’t give you that. But if the tassels (or pom poms) are small or tiny enough, maybe, just maybe, I would give it a go. Here’s a good example of what I’d pick out:

La Fiortentina Pom Pom Cashmere Wrap, USD138

That’s probably the best I can do. So how about you, would you fashion tassel or pom pom scarves? Do you love ‘em or hate ‘em? Do you prefer the add-ons bigger and more pronounced? Or do you prefer ‘em small and dainty? If I were to ask you to pick from the scarves below, which would you wear?

Well, which one? Or would it be none of the above? To purchase any of these scarves, simply head over to Nordstrom. Enjoy shopping!

I thought I’d share these pictures of Katie Holmes with you today. Mrs. Cruise loves her scarves and it’s nice to see that she tries to wear them whenever she can, even during work-out sessions. Hey, she has even worn the scarf as a head gear! Check out the pics below and tell us what you think of Katie’s scarf choices:

So what do you think of Katie’s scarf style? I actually love the fact that she wore it as a head piece aside from the usual. That’s the beauty of a scarf I guess. It can be worn in so many ways. You can wear it on your head,  tie your hair with it, use it as a necktie, wrap it arund your neck, use it as a cover-up, use it on your bag, and even wear it as a cuff bracelet (which is something I love doing).

Of course, the way you can wear it will also depend on the size. That said, here are some fresh scarves you can check out if you’re feelin’ like shopping for new ones. You can find these at Zappos:
