Today I’m going to share one of the best secrets of frugal fashionistas: you can up the chic-factor of almost any outfit simply by donning a scarf. It’s the easiest and most effective way to get BIG style on a small budget.
Why drop $200 on a brand new outfit, when you can spice up an old one with a $20 scarf?
A scarf can instantly add pizzazz to almost any item of clothing. Its magic: the power of distraction. Our brains are wired to pick out the brightest, most colorful, or visually-interesting stimuli in a given scene (and ignore the duller details). Therefore, adding a lively scarf to a tired outfit will make the whole ensemble look fresh to the eyes of beholders.
What’s more: scarves are super-trendy this season, and stores are stocked with them. You’ll have plenty of choices, and look wonderfully chic with minimal expense!
Instead of buying new clothes this fall, slash your fashion budget with this simple strategy—and keep your money in the bank. In the midst of a recession, it’s more fashionable to have a fat wallet than a full closet!
Don’t worry if you’re a newbie to the world of scarves. The following sites take the mystery out of how to properly wear (and tie) one:
