I'm obsessed with all things scarves and nail polish (obviously!) so here are some of my current favorites. If you're participating in the Just Add Color Fall Swap, maybe you'll get some ideas! If not, you'll just hate me because after seeing this cuteness, you'll be forced to go spend some money ;)

For the swap, the max to spend is $20 which may not seem like a big enough budget but it totally is! Especially when you keep an eye out for a good sale! And I don't know about you but the challenge of finding a bargain excites me!


Open Knit Scarf - F21
$9.50

Houndstooth Fringe Scarf - F21
$9.80

Mossimo Brown and Black Cheetah - Target
$11.99

Dove Print Scarf (my personal fave!!) - Old Navy
$12.00

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Golden
$2.59

L'oreal Color Riche - Greycian Goddess
$5.99

ULTA - Green & Wear
$7.50
