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!

We were inspired to re-visit Free People after Tonya of The Moptop showed us the scarves she wanted to purchase from the store. We looked through Free People’s inventory and we simply felt like a kid in a candy shop. We even had to stop ourselves from wanting to grab every single piece of scarf or wrap available.

On a side note, we also chanced upon a couple of interesting pieces that offered a little more than the usual, and so we thought, why not feature those today instead? Check out these one of a kind scarves from Free People and tell us which you’d love to wear:

Jeweled Scarf

First on the list is this thin piece of jeweled and chain detailed chiffon from Chan Luu. It can work as a decorative scarf, as a head piece, or even as a bracelet. Quite unique and versatile don’t you think? Though it definitely will not keep you warm and cozy…

Fringes Forever

Next is this uber hairy scarf from Free People. It is made up of layers and layers and layers of fringes to create that fluffy and frothy effect. Wearing this piece will definitely give your look a different flavor, would you care to give it a try?

Frayed Fashion

Another piece of scarf that is heavily fringed. However, this one features a more unique construction – a loosely woven texture that gives the scarf more dimension. What do you think?
