Coffee Break: Hooded Ribbed Cashmere Scarf

Ooh: a lot of Labor Day sales are starting already. NET-A-PORTER has a lot on sale, including this (very!) expensive hooded scarf. It is STILL very expensive, even though it is 40% off, but I really do like the idea of it.

I've always loved the wrap or ruana as a topper for a blazer because it's such an easy layer — it goes on top, it looks intentional, you don't have to do the whole “hold my cuffs while I put my arm into my jacket” dance (or buy a coat a size or two up to accommodate a blazer). This version makes it even better, at least, by adding the hood. Head warmth + hair protection = sign me up.

The scarf was $4000, but is now marked down to $2400 at NET-A-PORTER. (Two other finds in the sale that are a bit more reasonable in price: I love this Gabriela Hearst scarf in dark green, as well as the colorful print on this gorgeous Acne Studios scarf.)
