Rent's Due: It's a Wrap!

Well, more specifically I am referring to scarves, not wraps. It is finally December and the Rent is Due! And what better way to celebrate the first of the month than to cue you in on a very Fashion-Friendly & Frugal holiday find. A few posts ago I brought up a few tips for budget holiday shopping in "Happy Sales!". This post is straight-to-the-point and all about scarves, one of the hottest, most versatile accessories and gifts of the year!

Why a scarf? A scarf is the perfect gift for any girl on your list. This ridiculously fun item can be worn a million different ways and can be found across a million different price points (especially for my fellow frugal shoppers). Anywhere from Target up through Saks Fifth Avenue, stores have been stocking up on this fashionista favorite throughout the past few seasons. Although the patterns and styles of scarves may have transformed from time-to-time, one thing has remained the same: the must-have appeal of wrapping your neck up in something funky, fun, and fresh.

No matter what you are looking to spend on the ladies this holiday season, be sure to check out a scarf or two. Lightweight, cotton scarves are perfect because they can be draped once around your neck for style or can be bundled up around your neck for the chillier weather; the longer the scarf, the more draping options you have! Heavier, wool (or fabrics that mimic wool) scarves are perfect for colder climates because they really protect your neck and sometimes your head (if there is a built-in hoodie). The best thing about scarves is that they come in a huge variety of colors, prints, patterns, textures, and fabrics.

So this holiday season, if you need a Fashion-Friendly & Frugal gift for anyone on your list, invest some time (and not that much money) in hunting for the perfect scarf!

What does your ideal scarf look like? And how do you feel about men in scarves?
