Since Summer seems to have taken a hiatus.....

.....I'm throwing on the scarves.  And whilst we should all be thinking about Sales Investment purchases, these are up there with "excellent buys". 

I love a scarf even though I may not have been wearing as many as I used to (the advent of the shirt in my life has meant my neck has had adequate coverage) that doesn't stop me having a huge soft spot for them. 

As someone mentioned the other day in one of their comments - the sales are a great time to buy those things that would normally be out of your reach and good quality scarves are an ideal purchase. 

They last for years, they don't go out of fashion and they can make transform outfits.  They give much more versatility to items in your wardrobe - giving them new leases of life. 

So a warning first off - these aren't cheap.  They're reduced and personally to me they are a great investment.  There are of course some that will think these are a total waste of money but a good quality scarf, I honestly think can make all the difference to an outfit - just like a pair of good shoes, jewellery or a bag.  Each to their own though but if you do have a birthday coming up or even want to stash up for Christmas, these are all worth considering.  

Amedea Scarf now £27 was £55 from Weekend Maxmara.  I bought this for a friend for her birthday and it is honestly sublime.  Plus it comes in the most amazing box from Matches (ok so now we're totally scraping the barrel of shallow - hands up) 






They also do it in an amazing dark blue shade.  Again was £55 now £27 from Weekend Maxmara


The wonders continue at Matches with the DVF crew.  Gorgeous scarves - a little bit of designer which will last you for years.  Cost per wear, you will be amazed at the value of these, I promise. (admittedly you do have to be a scarf person and actually love wearing them otherwise, yes, these are total waste of money!) 

Hanover Link Leopard Scarf was £117 now £70.  Love this with black or navy for the winter. 







The Scarf version of my dress - Spring Kenley Scarf was £145 now £95  Would it be wrong to get both?  As someone said on Saturday when I was wearing my dress - it's more like work of art than a dress - and the same could easily be said for the scarf.  (am secretly coveting this whole look actually - not to self, I must look out some tan boots for the A/W)






Another Kenley Scarf - adore this print, fantastic for all year round, lovely now in the S/S for a monochrome look but for me, the ideal would be with tan and black for the A/W.

Spring Kenley Scarf now £95 was £136






If you fancy a bit of McQueen or Stella, these would make all the difference to your classic A/W wardrobe. 

Alexander McQueen Psychedelic Print Scarf was £325 now £227 




Heart Print Scarf by Stella McCartney was £275 now £192



A fabulous scarf at Coach was £120 now £60




This is gorgeous for now with pale blues and whites but would work just as well in the A/W. 

Tootsie Blue Animal Print Scarf was £89 now £59



Staying with blue, I spied this at Anthropologie on Sunday but have tracked it down on the Coggles website at almost half price.  With navy, black, tan, greys, winter whites or creams this would be just perfect. 

Baum und Pferdgarten Lowell scarf in blue was £69 now £39
