Fall Obsession: Scarves

Now that the the chilly weather is here, there are so many cold-weather accessories to break out for the season. Scarves are functional and fashionable and you can never have too many! Wearing a scarf is a great way to add warmth and spice to any outfit.

There are three kinds of must-need scarves this season. The first is the rectangular scarf which you fold in half and pull through. The second popular look this fall is the square scarf which you wrap around your neck and the two ends fall on each side. Last is the silk scarf, which will add a pop of color to your mostly dark and muted-colored fall wardrobe.

I obsessed with this one by Love Quotes (Top, $88) but as a college student on the budget, I'd rather not spend that much so I've been on the lookout for similar ones. For a cheaper alternative, Urban Outfitters offers this Pash Like Scarf (Bottom, $20) in a wide variety colors.

While this is not a new trend, a scarf is really a classic piece that is a definite must-have this fall. Are you a fan?
