So you remember I talked about a snood in my blog post the other day? Well, yesterday I wore aforementioned snood and have found something WAY more comfortable (and fashionable) than the snuggly!

I am a HUGE fan of the scarf. I like them big, fluffy, drapey – the look where you appear to have no neck. I might look silly (unlike Carrie Bradshaw, pictured) but at least I am warm. The snood gives you both.

Now I might sound like I am trying to sell these scarves – I promise you I’m not (though if anyone knows of a job selling scarves, I might be interested, I will be unemployed soon!), I really do find them to be the easiest piece of clothing slash accessory you will ever buy.

Basically a snood is a scarf hood type construction – a scarf that is joined, if you will. The one I purchased the weekend came from Kmart and is a brown knit, about 30cm wide and probably close to 1.5m long when held by the seam (which is then 3m long if it wasn’t joined). Mine was $9, reduced from $19 (this is Kmart we are talking about) and I think it could be my best purchase of the year – discounting my Gary Begeni dress which I am dying to wear (perhaps last day at work outfit?).

I wore the snood looped three times, with a hightop bun, blazer and harem pants, peeptoe ankle boots.  The whole outfit was very chain store/high street chic – target, sportsgirl, dotti and the freebie Harper’s Bazaar tee shirt. A work colleague commented – ‘it’s not about expensive things, its how you wear the things you have.’

                               
       
Get thee to a store (or visit these places online) and get thee a snood before the season ends.
