There are things that you can justify spending your money on, and there are things you just can't. Take a bathing suit, for instance. When you see one for over $100, you think to yourself But it's just two pieces of string, basically.... And while you may feel that it's frivolous to spend a lot of money on a scarf, let us raise this argument: A blanket scarf is one of the greatest investment pieces you can buy. Since it's basically a blanket (hence the name), you can wrap it around your neck multiple times, so it's super-warm. Then, when you're indoors, you can drape it over your body. So, yes, it's multi-functional. Plus, they come in cute patterns and colors that automatically make your outfit look better. What more do you need?
