My mother sent me this vintage 80s, color block silk scarf some time ago. And, I've been dying to style an outfit around it. This is what I came up with.

Scarf
Latest Obsession: Scarves
Sep04L.A. fashionistas get the credit for this one, sporting pretty printed, summertime scarves. But in my sweltering town, scarves during summer are simply impossible. So I compromised by adding scarves to my handbags, dressing them up and changing their look.
While the scarf in the photo is from H&M, I've been collecting most of my scarves from thrift stores, including ShopGoodwill.com, and local antique stores. My mother hit an estate sale in her town (Austin, TX) and picked up a load of scarves to add to my collection.
Etsy - Where else can you find unique, one-of-a-kind looks? Check out ratedrclothingco'sMy Skull or Yours scarf.
Blue Fly - This is my chance to get something fancy for as much as 40% off, like this La Fiorentina cashmere scarf.
From Gucci to Coach, we've all seen stylish handbags adorned with an added scarf, but I figure why buy a new bag embellished with a scarf when I can just add a cool-looking scarf to my already existing handbags? Below is a before and after shot of one of my go-to bags - a quilted metallic Marc by Marc Jacobs.

And, I can't wait. Right now I'm sticking with silk and chiffon scarves, but soon I'll be shopping around for thicker, warmer materials. Here's where I'll be looking:
Indigo Sky NY - They have the greatest collection of Tolani scarves. Better hurry fast. They can't keep these in stock! The one in this photo was seen on Jessica Alba.
Etsy - Where else can you find unique, one-of-a-kind looks? Check out ratedrclothingco'sMy Skull or Yours scarf.

Where I won't be shopping for a scarf is at Urban Outfitters. I love UO, but if I buy a scarf there, more than likely 5,000 other women will have the same exact one, and I don't want to blend in with the masses. So, where are you going to shop for your fall scarf?
