A sweet blend of refreshing neutral shades — that’s my simple synopsis of the Erica Colorblock Scarf.  Easy on the eyes, and even easier on the purse strings  at $15.26, this surprisingly cheap scarf (in price!) comes in two beautiful, easy-to-wear neutrals.  The hues have a bit of an ombre effect in way the colors are juxtaposed, which makes the style unique but not too crazy.

I would compare this scarf’s aesthetic to that of Burberry or even the simple classic look of Chanel.  If you dig these elite brands, you’re most likely going to love the Erica.  I would truly wear this scarf in a heartbeat, and despite my job choice — I am a picky scarf wearer.

But hey, I say it’s better to have high standards than settle for any old piece of fabric, don’t you agree?  Kind of like finding the perfect man, it can be challenging at times.  But that’s a whole other convo that we don’t have time for right now.  Moving on…

I know it looks wintery, but it actually has a silky feel in person — a material definitely apropos for warmer weather. Basically, its weight is heavier than a traditional silk scarf, but much lighter and softer than any wool variety.

I will say that I prefer the black combination more than the brown.  It has more eye -popping power when on.  In terms of styling,  I would pair this scarf with a pea coat in the winter (the two obviously go hand in hand), and a loose t-shirt dress come spring. As I mentioned before, the colors make it an easy match to most anything.

Ooh, yes. Almost forgot.  You can wear this scarf as a wrap as well, which really adds bang for your buck.  As a wrap or shawl, you can bring this on a vacay as a extra piece of outerwear.  Also good for between-season, on-again-off-again weather. Mother nature really needs to make up her mind already, no?

Luxury at its best ladies and gents’.  Now, I think my job here is done — you know what to do next!

So how would you wear it?
