Have you been noticing all of the spring scarves in stores and clothing catalogs this season? I think it’s the trend of the moment – and a very fun one, I might add.
As such, it’s fitting that Michael Stars has generously offered a Cool Breeze Scarf ($42) in the color Punch to SLY Award recipient Sarah Bessey.
The scarf reminded me of her because it’s breezy, laidback, and beautiful…just like she is! It is a soft, lightweight, and lovely accessory piece. The fringed edges add just the right casual touch for that “I’m-put-together-but-not-pretentious” look.
If this is your first introduction to Michael Stars, you’ll want to check out their tees first (it’s what they’re famous for…and there’s one for every occasion!), but the brand also offers fashionable dresses, sweaters, bottoms, and accessories.

I was just noticing all the scarves at the mall today. This one is one of the cutest I’ve seen around.
I love scarves, but It never seems the right temperature to wear one. Or I always forget to wear my scarf. Anyway, I love your Sly Awards, it’s a great addition to your blog.
very pretty- love the color
I loved your article and have as well noticed the new trend! I find it awesome that scarves are not only for cold winter but can be used to dress up a tshirt and to even add color to plain t’s!! Thanks for sharing!
I love it, my hair is short, so I wear scarves year round to keep my neck warm, and to be stylish.
Those are so pretty! I have just recently started trying on scarves. I have one and I feel so cool and hip in it. They are cute!
I THNK SCARVES ARE GOING TO BE A BIG ITEM THIS YEAR…THIS ONE IS REALLY PRETTY
I love Michael Stars but have never tried one of their scarves -this looks prefect for summer though! I would be thrilled to win!
So, I don’t know Sarah personally, but this does seem to fit her personality perfectly. I love it. And I want to become someone who does accessories well. So far, I don’t have the patience to coordinate. And I don’t have the accessories, so, that’s a hurdle :)
What a great idea to easily update your wardrobe without having to buy a whole new one. That way I can wear it over any old t-shirt and look totally in style! And who doesn’t love getting to wear something for fashion rather than function?
My mother would love a scarf for mothers day.
This looks like a great color scarf for summer!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Michael Stars until now, but I’ll definitely go check out the website and see what he has to offer. :) That scarf is cute! I’d love to see if I can pull it off.
Checked out the Michael Stars site-lots of great looking accessories,love the totebags-perfect summer bags!
These are cute- I really think that a great scarf can pull any outfit together!
So cute, they have a great site and i really love the Mini Check Fedora Hat on there.
ooh, i love it. I have been wanting to get a scarf for a while, thinking I could wear it on a cooler evening, but I wonder how much I would really use it. I am not really an accessory person but this one looks so pretty!
I love that color! Scarves are such an easy accessory. I don’t own one yet but this scarf looks perfect!
I love this scarf!
Oh, I am looking for the perfect lightweight scarf for summer. I have recently become enamored with scarves, so I would love to win this one!
Great colors and style in this one scarf – My daughter will love it for her birthday
I would love to add this to my summer wardrobe! Accessories can make an outfit.
this will brighten up some of my drab outfits mverno@roadrunner.com
The scarf is lovely and would enhance virtually any outfit. Thanks for the contest.
Really beautiful scarf. I love the way it’s worn in the picture–with just jeans and a t-shirt. The color, material, and fringy edges really are perfect for a casual mom who likes to add a feminie touch to her outfits.
I have been saving all of my scarfs for yes, they always come back in style, thanks
You know I’ve never been one to wear scarves but this year I have seen the trend and I sort of want to try. I guess if I win, I will for sure be trying! :)
Lovely accessory for summer! What a great giveaway idea :)
What a wonderful scarf! You nailed it, Stephanie…I’m a big scarf girl, wearing them even all summer long (It’s Canada, I can get away with that). Love it!
Everyone is wearing scarves, except me. I would love to jump in on this new trend. Thanks for featuring, these look great!
I wore a turquoise scarf with think silver threads
woven through it. It was amazing how many compliments I received! The Sly Awards scarf
is gorgeous…..Many thanks, Cindi
I have been really enjoying scarves but am hoping to make or get some springy ones. This one is very pretty! I would love to win it.
This scarf would look great with my sundress as well as some of my capris. I think the scarf trend is wonderful you can achieve such a classy look without spending a fortune. Thank you for the chance.
What beautiful scarves! I love wearing scarves all year round because the extra colour always livens up my face and gives my outfits a punch of colour!
There seem to be scarves everywhere; I don’t remember them being so prominent when I was younger!
Thanks

I have seen the scarves everywhere but I have not purchased the first one. I would love to try the style but am afraid of looking silly.
I have noticed that scarves are very big again…this one is very pretty. Love the color!
Absolutely gorgeous.Perfect for summer
The color & the length are definitely trendy. It would be a beautiful compliment to some of my clothing.

I love the color. I have a shirt in mind that it will go with.
I’d love a great summer scarf. This is gorgeous. Thanks for the giveaway.

The site has some awesome handbags too. THe scarf would make a nice Moms day gift.
Very cute scarf! I’ll be honest, until the past year I have never really worn scarfs. But when I was in Germany a year ago we went to a shop that had the most beautiful silk scarfs. I had to buy myself one and have worn it many times. I wish now that I would have bought a couple more.
that scarf is cute – it would help update a plain old outfit
michael stars is my favorite he makes amazing clothing. One size fits all!
Never had a scarf- always afraid that I would lose it=)
We are going to Italy this summer and I need a scarf that i can use to cover up when we go in the churches. This would be perfecT!!!
I would give this to my daughter-she is a scarf fanatic!

I love the look of these carves. I see tons of ladies wearing these and they look so cool and put together. I would love to sport the look myself! Thanks!
I love wearing scarves–it gives me a put-together look effortlessly.
Sometimes I think that I must live under a rock, because I have never heard of Michael Stars until this post of yours. I know. Shame on me. I do love the color of these scarves. Scarves are something that I’ve always wanted to wear…but only own a couple of – and they aren’t really stylish ones. This would be great to try out.
As someone who wears scarves when they are “in” and when they are not… I have to say that I love this scarf – it’s the kind I like to wear now, a splash of color, a splash of “put together” when I’m feeling frantic and frazzled!
One can never have too many scarves! They are so wonderful, and dress up an outfit so easily.
Michael Stars really does have some great shirts! I could build a perfect wardrobe with what they have to offer!
I would feel so “Stylish ” wearing this beautiful scarf!

I love the Mini Check Fedora hat!
Thanks for the chance.

The color is great be perfect with denim outfit.
Love It!!
I just started wearing scarves, and would love this one
Love scarves! Really pretty!
I LOVE scarves! I wear them quite a bit…however most of mine are for cold weather. There is nothing like a scarf to add a splash of color, spiff up an outfit, or to even cover up my stomach when I let my insecurities get the best of me. Ugh! Steph…you could pull of a scarf quite well too…put your cute curls on top of your head, sport your hot jeans and poof…adding to your already ridiculous beauty. This is a type of scarf you could wear in AZ too!
Michael Stars also has some beautiful jewelry.I really like the Turquoise Mix 6 Strand Stretch Bracelet.
I recently bought a Michael Stars shirt without knowing the brand, and have been very pleased with the quality and style. This scarf is an easy way make a basic jeans/T-shirt look chic.
These scarves act as a great accent.
I really like some of the colors of these scarves. Very nice indeed.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to change up how your clothing appears. These scarves would do that for many ensembles.
The punch scarf will do just that…give punch to whatever you put on.
I just got back from New york and everyone was wearing this type of scarf. Love it!
Great addition to the summer attire. I could see using these scarves regularly.
very nice
I love Michael starts, and this scraf would be great to jazz uo a plain outfit.
Michael Stars has assisted numerous charities in their fundraising efforts including the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Best Buddies International, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and The Step Up Women’s Network among others.
Scarves are a way to change your look quickly. Dress up or down.
I’ve just started wearing scarves and now I’m addicted. It’s a great way to punch up an otherwise ordinary outfit!
Scarves are so versatile and really can add some punch to an outfit. I would love to have this beautiful spring one!
I’m loving all the tees that come with the matching scarves. It makes it easy for the fashion challenged. :)
I’m a huge fan of the Michael Stars maternitees! Oh, I lived in them ! Would love to own a scarf!!
Steph
my friends have already started wearing scarves for the spring and i love how light this one looks! I guess it’s time to get in on the style, ’cause they look great on them!
That scarf is so cute, thanks for the chance!
I am seeing more and more scarves worn everyday to work. I like the look and want to start experimenting with them.
I looked at the Michael Stars site. The unique fabric hues caught my eye. I like to add a scarf to an outfit for a fun, light touch.
I’m a total scarf hoarder! Seriously. I love them and I wear them all.of.the.time. I think they totally can change an old outfit into something fresh and new. And in the summer, who doesn’t love a pop of color? I hope they never go out of style…
I work at a school where one of the speech therapists is never without a scarf. I think she looks so stylish. I’ve thought about adopting the look, but don’t want to seem like I’m copying.
Scarves make the perfect accessory, no matter what the season, and are great for keeping warm at work in the summer!
I’ve only recently learned to tie scarves properly and carry them off with some semblance of style…this would be a great delight!
Myh wife would love to try one of these. She’s usually very timid and this would be a huge fashion step for her.
I’d love to try to pull off the scarf. They are beautiful. And what spring colours!!
I also love the Cool Breeze Scarf in the light blue, bright purple and cement.
I need a cool new scarf to spice up my wardrobe
A beautiful scarf, would look good with any outfit.thanks for the giveaway
i have been working on accessorizing for a while but never know where to start. i love the look of a nice scarf to switch up an outfit.
I love the look of scarves on other people but have never figured out how to wear them…. I would love to try with this one.
My daughters are very into scarves. They would probably fight over this one.
The divas always wear scarves, tied around their bags, as belts, as scarves, as anything- they love the pop of color.
nice scarf,great mothers day present
I have seen a ton of scarves in the stores! But most of them were bold patterns, where I’m more of a solid color kinda gal. Love the color of this one!

This scarf would go with alot of my outfits and I like that it’s not to thick & bulky so you can wear it all year round.
Cute scarf would look nice with leggins and a tunic
Everybody seems to be wearing scaves lately–I must get one and have someone teach me to tie it in some cute way.
Scarves are really hot right now- so Michael Stars is right on trend. These scarves are gorgeous! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
I love the color of the scarf, I see so many wearing scarfs now.
I like the look of a scarf but I am not that saavy on what to where them with. I would lvoe to give it a try though.
I’ve always wanted to wear a scarf with a plain black tee and i think this one would be perfect!
Perfect scarf for a resort or cruise!
First off, at my middle age and after several chest “altering” breast cancer surgeries – SCARVES are my mainstay and salvation – especially scarves that are long and bold!
PUNCH is just such a scarf and it would happen to go and glow beautifully with most items in my mostly modest “wardrobe”. I genuinely love it!
I have never worn a scarf as part of an outfit. I would love to try though! Thanks
I’m not much of a scarf person (only the winter 1s when it’s cold), but I love this. dramaqueensmum@gmail.com
I really like scarves and would like to win this one because I love the colors. Thanks for the chance.
These scarves are beautiful. A scarf adds so much to an outfit.
i love these scarves, they are great accessories!
This would be perfect for my mom.. she loves scarves :)
I want to strt wearing scarves. They are a nice fashion accessory.
The Semi Precious Stone Pendant on the Michael Stars website also looks very nice!
