I’m slow to embrace trends because 1) they ultimately fizzle out and 2) I like to be original (or as original I can be in the ‘burbs).  So, when we were inundated with the whole blanket scarf trend last year, I was hesitant to feature it here on my site because every other blogger was posing in one with a Starbucks cup in hand singing its’ praises.  But, I do begrudgingly have to admit, they are pretty awesome and if you don’t own one, then you must be living under a rock (or right near the Equator).  I scooped this one up at Target a few months ago and it is my go-to staple whether I’m throwing it on with a coat, cozying up with it while I’m watching TV, or pairing it with a sweater and jeans on a mild winter day.  I love this classic red plaid version because it instantly brightens up any look, especially when it’s coupled with a vibrant red turtleneck and crisp white jeans.
