Wardrobe essentials - animal print scarves and a few other ideas!

Last year when I met with my friend who is a stylist she said what was missing in my wardrobe was an animal print scarf.   Now I have a scarf obsession and have hundreds but off I went in search of the perfect animal print scarf.  I found one in John Lewis, I didn't need to think about it long and it came home with me.  I have worn it and worn it and it goes with everything - she was right!  Thank you Katherine!

But whenever I wear it and post on Instagram I get asked where it is from.  Sadly John Lewis discontinued it and I have struggled to find something similar I can recommend.

But I have scanned the internet for you and I have a few suggestions:

First just to compare, here is mine from John Lewis ... it does work very well with red.

The first one is from Mango, I spotted this when Donna at I won't wear sludge brown featured it on her blog.  Now as you can see this is a pretty rubbish image of it!  But do click on this link and take a look - Mango Leopard Print Scarf £15.99.

Next up a few  from Oliver Bonas.  Top is the Brushed Animal Print Scarf £28 then bottom left is the Animal Shimmer Scarf £42 and finally the Leopard Print Scarf £28. 

Then this Warehouse one is very good value at £19 and perhaps the closest in colour to mine?  Leopard Print Scarf £19.

As you all know I am a really big fan of the online scarf and accessories shop, Sweet-Bea but unfortunately they haven't got quite the right animal print scarf this year but do take a look at their belts!  My sister had one on the when we met up last week and was very pleased with it.  Plus they have a really good selection of bracelets and cuffs - great ideas for Christmas gifts, do pop over and explore their site!

Hope this gives you a few ideas, let me know if you purchase one!  I have been extremely busy these last few weeks running the office for my husband's business but it should all calm down again now and I can get back to blogging!  I have a really good blog post planned later in the week, I want to tell you about the Wellness in Menopause Workshop I attended recently.
