Fall Outfit: Blanket Scarves – A Fall Favorite Accessory

If you don’t already own a blanket scarf, now is the time!   Seize the moment!   There are so many great affordable options and they scream Fall.

I don’t often wear color but Oliver Bilou had asked me to try out their new handbag line to give my opinions.   I figured it was a good opportunity to try something outside my safe zone.  In all honestly i love this bag!  It’s a great size and high quality.    Did I mention they donate a portion of their sales to charity???  Before I forget you can get 10% orders on their site using code PINTERESTINGPLANS.

Years ago I used to carry a handbag full of junk.  Lots of lipgloss, kleenex, hair ties, gum, etc.   These days I most often carry a wallet phone case instead of a bulky handbag so a bag is more like an accessory to my outfit.  This allows me to switch my bags up to coordinate with an outfit without having to transfer 2 dozen miscellaneous objects.  I like that this bag doesn’t let you carry anything oversized.   An oversized bag would mean I am carrying my family’s belongings for them.

I love lace tops.   The one pictured is older but this one looks nearly identical.   My denim is also a few years old so I found a similar pair.

What are your favorite Fall accessories?   I also love Fall hats!

If you like blue bags I linked some others at a higher price point for your viewing pleasure (the Tory bags are currently 30% off):


I’m also showcasing some gorgeous and affordable blanket scarves for those who might need one in their collection:

    I’m the same way about colored purses. I love them but just prefer to spend my money on a neutral. But blue can really go with so much!
