Here's a little something you may not know about me...I'm a hoarder.  Not the "I can't get rid of anything because I'm preparing for the apocalypse" type but the "I can't get rid of a single piece of clothing because I might need it." and the "I have to have every single shoe, accessory, and handbag known to man." kind.  In all honesty,  I don't suffer from the first syndrome all that much.  I don't have difficulties de-cluttering my closet by any means. But I do have tons and tons of clothing and other random things that I rarely wear.  Like this awesome scarf, for example. My Mom was kind enough to purchase this awesome scarf for me 2 years ago on my birthday. I absolutely love it but couldn't figure out how to style it. Thanks to my shopaholic issues I eventually end up collecting enough items that create the perfect look. I guess in the long run it always works out for the best.  This outfit wouldn't be complete without that fantastic scarf!
