Skulls have made it up the fashion food chain and seem to be everywhere in terms of accessories right now.
They are no longer just for rebellious teens, punks and goths. Nope high fashion has embraced them and they have gone mainstream.
To be honest skulls kinda creep me out. I know in some cultures they represent life not death and are something to be revered but they remind me more of horror movies and the gross out scenes from an autopsy show.
Still I can’t help but admit that the Alexander McQueen scarves are covet-worthy.

I think in a printed scarf they are totally workable since they don't scream scary movie when it is all gathered together. Along the same lines are the fishbone prints that I love for kids clothing in something like a printed raincoat. I dont' own an skull merchandise but if I were to buy I'd defnitely find something cheap and cheerful to give the trend a nod.

you are so right the scarves make the trend doable as you can make them as visable or unvisable as you want.
