When money is tight and you want to ‘update’ your wardrobe, the easiest and most economical way to do it is by purchasing accessories. As the weather changes from Winter to Spring in Australia, now is the time to invest in purchasing a scarf or two.

I love scarves because they can add colour or interest to any outfit and they aren’t expensive. My favourite site for scarves is Scarf World. They are are UK shop but they have every scarf under the sun and they have a sale on right now with 20% off all their scarves. They deliver worldwide too. With Spring on the way, my picks for Spring 2011 is the Brown animal print scarf which can be paired with most coloured tops and for a floral spring hit, the pink or purple floral cotton scarf.

Scarves look great paired with a plain coloured tee and jeans or a maxi skirt. Scarves are also versatile in that you don’t have to wear them around your neck, if they are long enough you can wear them around your waist as a belt or around your hair as a head band. Scarves can also be tied around your handbag to add interest to your outfit. The sky is the limit with scarves… you can never have too many they are a versatile fashion staple every woman (and man) should own.
