Happy Monday, ladies! Halloween week is here, which means Christmas
is basically tomorrow ;)
We had a busy, busy weekend that went by in the blink of an eye! We did manage to squeeze in another stop at the pumpkin patch, so that's always a win! We also got to spend Sunday celebrating our niece (Kennedy's bestie) turning 4. She's almost exactly 6 months older than Kennedy, so it's crazy to think how big they are getting! If you're a new mom, they are not kidding when they say time flies!
Today I am trying something a little different that I am really excited about! Tis' the season for scarf shopping, so I thought I would make your life a little easier and do a review on 4 affordable options. It's two parts, so head to my stories over on Instagram to see my try on of all these scarves when you're done here (@kotineru).
Scarves are a great affordable way to mix up your wardrobe in fall and winter! Every fall I find myself adding a couple new scarves to my wardrobe. I typically grab at least one classic one that I know I will have for years, then also love to add in some fun trendy prints as well! That's my tip if you're on the fence about a certain trend (say leopard or camo) to test it out without investing a lot.
I also love scarves because here in Southern California it never gets too cold, but we can have some chilly mornings and nights. I'm all about layering! Scarves are an easy way to achieve a "fall" look but I also have the option to take them off as soon as the temps climb in the middle of the day ;) ...which btw it was 90 degrees today! I will welcome a cool down with arms wide open....but back to the scarves.....
Starting off with the most classic of the bunch. Also, you're not going to believe the price- $12! Even though it's more on the budget end, you are not sacrificing quality, I promise! It's super soft and cozy. It does come in two color options, but I love this neutral tones that are going on in this pattern. It makes it easy for pairing with just about anything.
This retailer actually has a lot of really great options right now! I have this one in my cart and you can never go wrong with this color palette for Christmas. Shopping tip-scarves makes great gifts too because you know they'll always fit! I tend to keep a couple extra on hand around Christmas in case I need to add one to a present.
Leopard is alllll the rage right now and this $19 scarf is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe! It's lightweight and perfection for layering. I love the bold leopard print. I'm pretty picky about leopard print, like I mentioned on my stories, and this one is a winner!
This is a great one if you live somewhere where it's still a little (or a lot) warmer out. Pair with a lightweight tee or waffle knit top and you got yourself a fall look with the sweat, ha!
**update, this scarf is now sold out but I did find this leopard option that is also $19 + free shipping! I will keep my eye on a restock for the original one too!**
Speaking of prints that are all the rage! Camo is popping up everywhere. Personally I am huge fan, but I am picky about it just like I am with the leopard print. This scarf basically jumped in my cart when I spotted it! I love the more muted & soft tones it has going on.
Plus the scarf itself is very soft!
You can do a lot with it as far as styling and I am loving it with the denim jacket! It will also look great with cardigans or even with this little black casual dress.
This leopard beauty stole my heart the moment I spotted it online! It's insanely soft and so warm! This would be an excellent option if you live somewhere where it gets really cold. In fact, I had a follower reach out and tell me she bought this and lives in Maine & it keeps her and her baby so cozy because it's basically like a blanket wrapped around your neck!
I also love the muted leopard tones going on. It pairs perfectly with neutrals. I also think it would look gorgeous styled with this coat or this coat!
Here is a couple more affordable, adorable options:
