Favorite Blanket Scarf
Plaid Scarf (similar for $15)// J.Crew Turtleneck (similar on sale)// Paige Denim// Nine West Boots (similar)// Zara Bag, sold out in black (similar under $40)// Kayce Hughes Sunglasses (under $20)
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.

I can totally relate with not wanting to jump on the blanket scarf trend, but when I did finally purchase one, it was definitely a game changer. Loving the bright red paired with the white denim. Such a great look!

So chic! I got a blanket scarf in the fall but honestly haven’t gotten much use out of it. However, I never even thought of wearing it as a cape – thanks for the inspiration!

Ah, I’m so with you on trends, and on the blanket scarf trend! The only reason I have one in my closet is because I got it as a gift for Christmas, and it turns out, I like it too! Haha. Your scarf is quite pretty and is so versatile in its pattern :B

Lol, you are so right! Blogger, blanket scarf, Starbucks was pretty much the way it went. It also took me a bit to jump on the bandwagon (mostly because it doesn’t get that cold here very often), and, like you, I’m really glad I did. I love this colorful look on you, Kate! The blanket scarf really makes a statement here.

You can’t go wrong with a piece so versatile! It looks super chic with the red and white pairing. I was looking at the Zara tote over the weekend. I may just have to go back for it now, I’ve seen how well it can be styled! Flawless!

I was late to embrace this trend, too. But I love wearing my blanket scarf as a cape — and it’s perfect for this transitional weather. Great look here!

I felt the same way and only this season embraced the trend!! The one you have is perfect and love that you picked it up from Target because even if it is a fad you didn’t spend too much money on it! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
