Splurge vs Save – Winter Accessories

All Frills Wrap Scarf, Echo – $61

Now that the witch’s costume has been packed away for another year, it is time to start thinking about winter warmers. All that snuggly loveliness that keeps you warm when your forced to brave the cold, for ridiculous things, like going to work and buying essential food. Unfortunately, we aren’t lucky enough to hibernate over the winter (damn those bears), and we have to face the the world, but at leat we can do it in style.

I’ve already talked about super stylish winter coats to suit a number of budgets, and now its time to talk the cherry on the top – winter accessories. They add the extra layer of warmth, and can an extra pop of colour to  drab winter day. So, here is some of my favourite winter accessories available through the Xwalker site – what will it be splurge or save? There are some pretty special items in both price ranges.
