Hermès Accent

As I mentioned in this video, one of my favorite purchases earlier in the year was the printed silk scarf I picked up before my Miami trip. It’s been unbelievably useful, which really surprised me – I don’t buy prints very often, so I was very happy to discover it looked great with so much in my closet! It’s one of the easiest ways to add some flare to an otherwise basic tees + jeans look, you can tie it on handbags, wear it as a bracelet, you name it! I wore it all spring/summer, but the second fall hit I haven’t really been able to wear it. The colors are just too summery!

I decided that if I was going to invest in another nice scarf, I wanted one featuring a completely different color scheme that would work year-round. Not only does this scarf match my eye color, it features ivory and a super dark navy that looks like black, so it’s very versatile and looks gorgeous against all of the basics in my closet. There are so many ways you can style it, and while it’s cashmere, it’s actually lightweight enough for summertime. I’ve always wanted an Hermès scarf, so I decided to treat myself to one as a Christmas gift + a reward for a successful 2016.

Now I realize this scarf is quite an investment piece, so I’ve linked some other printed scarves at different price points that are more budget-friendly:

• The tassel print on this Echo scarf will add a wow factor to any outfit you pair it with! Love the color scheme.
• This green, blue and yellow print scarf would look adorable over a gauzy white dress come summer!
• Looking for something office appropriate? Try this one by Vince Camuto.
• The botanical floral print on this scarf is to die for!
• For a more romantic look, try this soft Gardenalia scarf from Anthro.
• While not exactly “budget-friendly”, this fab Ferragamo scarf is on sale for under $200!
• If you’d love something Hermès but don’t want to spend full-price, try the vintage options at The Real Real! SO many gorgeous styles and prints!
