Scarf Obsession

I found these in Cape May, New Jersey at the store Making Waves.
I have a large obsession with scarves. I think it is a healthy obsession, because it is something that you use to keep you warm :) Scarves are a fun accessory that can brighten up any outfit as well as add a nice pop or dash of color to any outfit. 

The starfish scarves in the picture above, I found at one of my favorite stores in Cape May, New Jersey, called Making Waves. They were $40 on sale for $20 and I really wanted the dark blue one. I could have easily bought them all, but I walked away knowing that I have so many scarves that it didn't make sense to buy another one presently.

Of course, my cousin who lives in New Jersey and is a great shopper like me, found them at a store near her and surprised me by sending one to me in the mail! I was so excited and it was a sweet gesture.

My manicure against my scarf.

My other most recent amazing scarf find came from Nordstroms Rack. I had gone to look for shoes there, but spent so long in the accessories that I found a beautiful scarf with a pom pom edging that I had to have. But again, knowing how many scarves I have, I didn't buy it even though it was a fair $13.97. 

I went back to make a return and saw the scarf was still there. I decided, why not and picked it up. The cashier rang it up and said, "You will not believe this, the scarf rang up for one penny!"

I was so surprised that I had to put away my debit card and dig through my purse for a penny! I did, and then asked her if she thought that the other same scarves in different colors would ring up as the same amount. She didn't know and told me to go check. And what do you know, the other five pom pom scarves rang up for only 5 cents total! They didn't even register for tax!!

So I made out like a bandit and didn't even BEGIN to break the bank. SO let me know, what's your best scarf find and do you collect them?
