Chan Luu ombre scarf on Cool Mom Picks
When I saw this Chan Luu ombre scarf on Net-a-Porter I nearly died with envy. I want to eat it it's so gorgeous. Or at least wrap myself in the gorgeous cashmere-silk blend fabric and never take it off. If you're wondering how to wear a scarf when winter is a memory (buh-bye, won't miss you), ombre is hot right now, and light scarves are a fabulous way to pull together even a t-shirt and jeans, soften up a biker jacket, or add interest to a dress instead of more jewelry.

But alas, as much as I love everything Chan Luu, right now this one would definitely tax the spring accessory budget at $205. Fortunately, you can find gorgeous ombre scarves from cotton to silks to light wools, in all different price ranges. Happy accessorizing!

Clockwise from top left: Jonathan Adler Ombre Scarf ($118, Nordstrom) | Italian Ombre Scarf ($38, Nordstrom) | Pink Ombre Scarf ($29.99 on sale, Athleta) | Oversized Ombre Scarf by Rag & Bone ($195, Nordstrom) | Blue Ombre Scarf  ($26, Remi & Read) | Orange Ombre Scarf ( $10 on sale, Old Navy)
