Winter eco-scarves

Azuri Silk Cotton Scarf, $29, nimli.com
(comes in 50 colors!)

It's that time of year when the cold weather swoops in, and we need the warm protection. That's where the scarf comes in. 

Scarves protect the nose and mouth from the coughing and sniffling, and more companies are making organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo scarves thick enough for the season.

Before, organic scarves were usually made thin for an occasional breeze, but with eco-fashion interest, there's more naturally made, fairly traded winter scarves.

Any color can complement a nice pea coat and keep us toasty amidst the harsh weather.
