Even though temps are still pretty high for fall, blanket scarves have been popping up on the Instas of my favorite style bloggers. I'm particularly in love with this plaid version seen on A Southern Drawl and With Style and a Little Grace. These fabulous ladies own the same scarf, but from two totally different sources. Grace, from A Southern Drawl, copped hers from ASOS and Gracie, from With Style and a Little Grace, linked hers from a seller on Amazon.

The specs:

Fabric: 100% Acrylic                                                                                    Fabric: 100% Acrylic

Size: 55 inches x 55 inches                                                                     Size: 59 inches x 59 inches

Checkered design                                                                                          Checkered design

Oversized styling                                                                                          Oversized styling

Frayed ends                                                                                                   Frayed ends

The verdict: To me, these scarves are identical in every way. The only difference is the price: $16.99 vs $33. I honestly see no reason to pay nearly double for an identical item so my pick is easily the Amazon version. I always end up misplacing or ruining my scarves so I'd rather not pay as much for it. I can't wait for this baby to come in the mail! What are some other items you guys would like me to compare? I'm thinking boots or leather totes next. Leave your answers in the comments below!

50 Shades of Grey

I couldn't wait to share my take on a monochromatic look for fall with you guys. I was super excited I was to pull this J. Crew Factory vest out of my closet and pair it with this jeweled sweater. I bought the vest in the dead heat of summer and counted down the days until fall when I could wear it. Same goes for these boots. The color is called black, but the distressing makes them a darker gray color. I love how this outfit came together. I'm starting to trust my intuition when it comes to picking out outfits and finally develop my own personal style.

What Do You Love About Fall?

Sweater Target | Puffer Vest Fashion Forward Boutique | Pants Target | Necklace Wal-Mart | Boots JustFab

Today is officially the first day of Autumn! I couldn't wait to pull out the vest and riding boots especially since I got them both for a steal during the summer. The biggest deal of this outfit was the statement necklace - I found it at Wal-Mart for only $3! Fall is favorite time of the year and not just for the leaves changing or cooler weather. My job winds down and I have more time to spend with my loved ones. What's your favorite part about fall? Leave your answers in the comments below!
