The Best $6.99 I’ve Spent In A While…”Pashminas”

I admit it: I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.  Instead of hopping right out, I snuggled in deeper, closed my eyes and listened to Chris and Sam banter on Good Morning America (BTW…love them and Diane and Robin).  When I finally decided to get up, I was in scramble mode: a la what shall I wear to work?

Our office is on the more casual side of business casual; so a nice pair of jeans will always do. Check.  I’d also found this really cute cropped jacket for $10 on clearance at Tar-Zhay earlier this fall so I thought I’d rock that. Check. Layering tank in chocolat (yes..I did mean to type chocolat..lol)? Check.  So I threw it all on and was bored by such the palatte of neutrals. What to do? What to do?

I remembered that I’d picked up a punchy reddish-orange “pashmina” .  First of all, all “pashminas”(read: not cashmere) are not pashminas and that’s OK.  This one, snagged at Ross, is not authentic but the quality is nice.  I usually wear scarves like this in the “noose” style but thought I’d do something a little different.  So I began to wrap and tuck and tuck and wrap.  Much to my surprise, I made a chic, little neck warmer.  I thought I’d share (pardon the iPhone…after all, I WAS running late and didn’t have time to whip out the real camera).  Even the color made me feel so much better during my commute!

Whether it’s a pashmina or a “pashmina”, scarves are essential to your cold-weather wardrobe.  You can do so many things with them.  Check out The Travelista’s video below:

Do you like to wear scarves?  If so, how do you sport yours?

Until next time,

  1. Voila! Gaaawwwgeous dahhling!

  2. This has nothing to do with the scarves. I don’t usually wear them in the fall. But your haircut is soooo cute! And I love that belt. I have one.

  3. You look all around adorable. I heart pashminas, I have quite a few..they sell them on the street in every color for 5 bucks. If I’m wearing a coat I do the noose, if I’m in the office I wear it as a shawl with one over my shoulder. I’m going to try your style.

  4. Too, too cute.

    I’d so pay you to be my personal shopper for everything because my style is so played at the moment. lol

  5. I love pashminas and yours is spectacular! Love GMA too but you knew that already!

  6. You are such a doll!!!

  7. That color looks LOVELY on you!!!!!

  8. Look at you, Miss Fashionable! I usually wear mine in the noose style, as well, but I like the way you did yours. I watched the video, and I picked up on what Travelista said about women in Europe wearing scarves. It’s true! I just returned from Germany, and yes, everyone was sporting a scarf. Gorgeous boots are also a must-have for Europe!!
