Scarf Swap Outfit Inspiration
I am a sucker for a cute scarf so when Rachel and Astleigh announced they were hosting a scarf swap I jumped in feet first! I was excited to find out I actually would be sending a scarf to Astleigh and you can see her post here. I think she rocks that little baby bump and the scarf.
I was so excited when my package arrived from Kim. You can find this mamma blogging over at Life as I Know it. I ripped right in and found this beautiful blanket scarf. I am always picking up fall scarfs with oranges, reds, navy so I had nothing at all in my closet in these shades. These colors really are perfect for winter and bonus they are in my color wheel!
I was initially stumped, however, at what I was going to pair it with and started brainstorming outfits I could create from my closet.
Initially I pulled together this flatlay…..please excuse the fact that I was toying with using an extra mattress pad for a backdrop. #flatlayfail #saythat3timesfast I laid this outfit out with every intention of pulling it together the next day for pictures.
Overnight, however, I instead dreamed about this pairing and as soon as I put it together I was like YES! I love this striped dress so much but have pretty much only worn it from May to September. Friends, I think you might see this make an appearance soon! See how I paired floral with this dress over the summer here.
I seriously cannot wait to wear these Frye boots!!
For a more casual look you can never go wrong with stripes right? This scarf is going to work so well with navy so I figured why venture any further.
Ever want super natural looking photos of yourself? Hire two 10 year olds to work the camera. Nonstop goofs which thankfully produces my real smile!
I’m definitely thinking Kim gave me the perfect scarf to add to my collection. I can’t wait for the temps to cool down enough for me to wear it!
I almost always wear dangly earrings but with a blanket scarf there is just so much bulk it becomes a little challenging. These glitter Kate Spade studs were the perfect touch and seriously I’m finding they go with everything!
Thank you again Kim for the beautiful scarf! And thanks to Rachel and Astleigh for hosting a fun exchange.
A scarf swap sounds like so much fun! I love the scarf you were sent, too cute!

That scarf is so cute! Love the colors and how it looks with stripes!
Now that I am back in USA, I have definitely thought about a Scarf Swap and might have to do it. Love the scarf you got. While I love it with the jeans, it came out together great with that striped fit+flare dress. Love those Frye Boots as well. I definitely love my Frye Boots so I am glad you love yours, too.
that's a beautiful scarf and I love how you styled it!
Thank you Shaunacey! It was super fun to pull it together…can't wait to wear it for real….bring on the cooler weather.
I have not even gotten to wear them yet Ada….it's still in the 90's daily here in Texas….boohoo. Hope you had a nice trip!
Isn't it great? It's always so fun when someone picks something for you that you love but would have never grabbed for yourself.
It was definitely a fun experience!
I always miss these things! I need to follow up better! So much fun. And like always you look fabulous!!!!
I love how you styled the scarf and the pattern mixing.

I have only participated in one other and it was fun getting a nice little surprise in the mail!
Thanks Alicia! Now if Texas will just cool down enough for me to wear it!! Have a great day.
I jumped in last year and it took some practice to figure out how to wear it. I have no doubt you would figure this out quickly! Have a great day.
Wow – what an awesome idea. I love scarfs and your scarf is beautiful. Love the colors and it look great with your outfits. Thanks for sharing your perfect gift.
I love surprises and fun scarfs so this was a perfect exchange for me to participate in. I know some girls who do this once a year face to face as well and it is an economical way to have some fun and add to your closet!
What a fun idea! Love the colors in the scarf and it looks great with stripes!

Thanks for hosting Christie! Hope you have a super weekend!
I'm pretty sure I've learned I can branch out and add plaids with stripes from watching you a bit! Have a super weekend Darcy.
Blanket scarfs are so tricky! Plus I'm at the hot flash age so having something too confining around my neck is a no go. Hope you have a super weekend!
I absolutely love this scarf… The colors are PERFECT!
I am cohosting a socks and scarves swap through my blog. Check it out if you are interested. 🙂
