Though I currently fear for the life of any child left solely to my devices, I do someday plan to venture down the path of momhood. And when I do, I hope to be just like Kristen. She and her partner, Michelle, co-write Cool Mama Style, a savvy blog that moves trend and deal reports to cool moms everywhere. These ladies know their stuff and were kind enough to impart some accessories-centric knowledge on us. Read on for Kristen’s take on the neckwear we know and love.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and how you fell into the world of fashion/shopping blogging.
A: I’ve been a fashion junkie for most of my life…but have grown increasingly fashion forward after becoming a mom! I didn’t want to fall victim to sweatpants, mom jeans or banana clips (an ode to the 80s…I know)! Being a mom does not have to cramp your style! I love to celebrate my own style and am creative with it–it’s fun for me 
Our fashion blog, Coolmamastyle.com, was born from a mutual love of fashion between Michelle and I and has become our favorite hobby! Now we can validate our shopping obsession!
Q: What is your personal scarf style?
A: I personally love versatile, all-weather scarves best–but I wear all types! My favorite look is wearing scarves with tanks, T’s, and lately I’m loving a scarf paired with a tank, long cardigan and skinny jeans. Since I live in Colorado, a warm cuddly scarf is always nice on those chilly days.
Q: What’s your favorite way to wear a scarf?
A: I wear scarves one of two ways: 1. looped once or twice around my neck with the long ends hanging or 2. the way I learned in Italy: match up the ends, make a loop at the other end and thread the two ends through the loop.
Q: What advice would you give someone struggling with which scarf to choose?
A: Go for an all-weather scarf, such as the Pashmina shawl on Affordable Scarves. I personally love the dark purple or orange to add a pop of color, paired with a neutral top or coat. On the other end of the color palette, neutral scarves work best with a colored top or coat.
Q: Tell us about your blog. What do you hope to accomplish with it?
A: We hope to inspire moms to enjoy fashion, without breaking the bank. It’s a tough job being a mom and is easy to neglect yourself when you devote so much time to your kids. Check out coolmamastyle.com for up-to-date fashion tips, bargains and more.
Q: Is there anything else you’re dying to share?
A: Have fun with scarves! I truly love them. They are a versatile accessory that brighten up an outfit, they’re fashion forward, and (as I just learned on an airplane) double as a blanket if you are traveling!
