The Posh’mina Scarf Giveaway!

Today’s giveaway is from the lovely ladies of The Posh’mina, a beautiful boutique of fashionable, unique and versatile scarves. Bored by the ubiquitous black sweater and in desperate need of a change, co-workers Amanda and Debbie came up with the perfect solution: Gorgeous oversize scarves in all sorts of styles, patterns and colors — everything from sleeved to slotted to to solids to patterned.
Their awesome twist on the fashion staple? Arm slots!

“We thought that there had to be a stylish solution to stay warm in chilly cubicles and still be hands free and chic,” says Debbie. “We took a pair of scissors to an old pashmina, and the idea was born!”

They’re giving this twill-and-leaf patterned slotted scarf ($40 value) to one lucky reader. The one-size-fits-all scarf is reversible and features beige-themed leaves on one side and lapis-themed leaves on the reverse. Both sides have black and beige twill pattern. How perfect would it be for a spring evening walk or a lazy Sunday stroll? Where would you wear it, friends?

The Posh’mina Scarf Giveaway!

We’ll be using Gleam this time around for entering. For your chance to win, simply visit The Posh’mina, and leave a comment below telling us where you’d wear your lovely scarf. See above for LOTS of extra chances to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Thursday, March 17th, so you’ve got a whole week to enter. Have fun, friends! xoxo

Update: Congrats to winner Cheryl. Thanks so much! ๐Ÿ™‚
