Where to find a bargain:
Good places to find a trendy, inexpensive scarf would be to:


· Go to your local thrift store or flea market. They carry unique, one of a kind items, so you’re sure to be the only one with that scarf. It is all about being at the right place, at the right time.

· You can also find many of discounted scarves online. For example eBay. EBay is a great place to find the scarf you’ve been thinking about, at a low cost!

· Usually end-of-season sales carry a lot of items that they weren’t able to sell during the season. If you shop for winter clothes in March or April, you’re sure to find something great, at a fraction of the original price.

Keep your eye out for these different types of hot scarves this season!

· Stripes- stripes add instant fun to any outfit!
· Earth tones or neutrals- you can wear earth tones and/or neutrals with pretty much anything. These types of colours will look great, with any outfit.
· Fringes- fringes give any scarf a traditional look. You can play up the outfit whether it’s just a basic tee and jeans, or even a party dress.
· Materials- If you are willing to pay more for a scarf, try a luxurious material such as cashmere. Not only is it super soft, cashmere is always in style! You can find a great cashmere scarf ranging in price from $39.95- $225+. You may be able to purchase the scarf when the season is ending, at a bargain basement price. If you’re lucky!
· Two Toned- A two-toned scarf is great to wear with a plain black tee. Not only will it add emphasis to the outfit, you will light up a room as soon as you walk through the door!
· Metallics- Metallic adds a certain type of edge and glamour to any outfit. You can also try jazzing up your business attire with a hip metallic scarf, to take you after hours.
