These photos and tips were shared by my friend Joy. Joy is originally from Bulgaria, but she currently resides in South Korea. Like many of us Joy started out life as one "color season" in her youth but switched to another as the years went by. Originally, her hair was a warm dark color that landed her squarely in the autumn colors, so she built a wardrobe of warm neutrals. Now her hair is a highly enviable salt and pepper shade that places her among the winters. Rather than rush out and buy a whole new wardrobe to suit her new season, she has introduced the bright jewel tones of winter to her autumn colored wardrobe through the use of scarves, which put the much needed blast of color right next to her face.
Joy writes, "I always try to look stylish, but with my size, it's not an easy thing to do in Korea and Asia in general. As for my scarves, I just try to make them pop up if my clothes are dark and dull, or blend in if the clothes are colorful." For Joy, adding scarves was easier than trying to find new clothes in Korea where European and American women have difficulty finding clothes to suit their height and curves, but it's a good tip for anyone who is "changing seasons" or just wants to add some color to her wardrobe without spending a fortune.
For Joy, the love of scarves seems to be a family affair.

She's even added some color to her husband's wardrobe with a more masculine plaid that will help keep him cozy on cool spring days in Korea. I wish my husband was as fashionable!
