With everything going on in the world, we’re being introduced to new faces that are helping combat the COVID-19 pandemic. One of those is Dr. Deborah Birx. When she takes the stage, she sports a plethora of patterned scarves draped over her shoulders or tied around her neck. Her collection of scarves has even inspired its own Instagram account. My coworker and her girlfriends are "obsessed with which one she will be wearing at each press conference," and are now looking into getting some for themselves and for their moms for mother's day. Wearing a neck scarf is a great way to add interest to a basic suit, a la Dr. Birx, and can even be used as a makeshift face mask if you’re in a pinch. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite picks for you to accessorize like the Coronavirus Response Coordinator does.
