Check out Gwen Stefani looking very color coordinated while out and about in Culver City, California early last month. Not only did she wear a black and white outfit, she also added a black & white polka dotted scarf, as well as a black & white handbag as extras. Any thoughts on Gwen’s style here?

Not bad, right? Actually, it’s very…well…Gwen; a style only she can pull off well. Her bag and sandals are reportedly from L.A.M.B., however, no one has been able to ID her dotted scarf. Any ideas?

Of course, given how common polka dot prints are, you really won’t have a hard time finding a replacement for that scarf if you want to steal Gwen’s look. In fact, here are two options you can start with:

SPLURGE

MARC by Marc Jacobs Hot Dot Cashmere & Silk Scarf, USD198 at Nordstrom

STEAL

Boxed Gifts Polka Dot Pashmina Scarf, USD18 (was USD25) at Amazon

Once you’ve acquired the scarf, simply put on an all-black outfit, top it with a white jacket, cap off everything with your scarf and a black & white purse, and voila! You’re all set!

Here’s a scarf that, although isn’t exactly unattainable or ultra pricey, would probably only be purchased by those who wouldn’t mind spending USD98 on it. Have a look at the MARC by Marc Jacobs Stardust Logo Scarf – a gauzy and super soft rayon cashmere mix of an accessory that features frayed edges as well as star and letter (logo) patterns. It comes in four (4) lovely colors and might even work well as a gift this holiday. It is undoubtedly, something that is actually quite nice to have:

But here’s the thing. If you feel that USD98 is too much for a scarf, there is a star printed number currently on sale over at Amazon. Sure, it doesn’t exactly have any letter prints on it, but the stars are there. And well, we simply could not help but compare. Plus, the piece only costs USD11, so how can you go wrong?

Ok, we admit. The Marc Jacobs scarf definitely looks more expensive (as is the price). But if you live on a tight budget, this viscose made number from Amazon would be your best option. If you can find anything better than it, then by all means, feel free to grab that one instead.
