Khloe Kardashian accessorizes with an Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf

We found this picture of Khloe Kardashian today. Not exactly sure when this was taken, but we do love that green scarf around her neck. Against the classic brown and black, it’s a refreshing standout.

It’s no secret that one great way to spice up a boring outfit is to simply top it with a fantastic looking extra – whether it be something bright and poppy, ruffled or sequined, or printed. Khloe used an iconic Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf but you can easily get the same result without spending loads of money by grabbing this bright turquoise and green Skull Scarf from StyleInch:

Not bad, right? It retails at an easy USD29 over at Amazon, which definitely beats spending USD300 on a designer scarf. Of course, this goes without saying that if you can afford designer duds, then by all means, grab the McQueen. It’s available on several sites – Zappos,  Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman to name a few.

I don’t want to sound mean, but when it comes to the term “stylish celebrity mom”, I think of Heidi Klum and Jessica Alba, NOT Jennifer Garner. However, I do love the actress. Apart from being quite charming with real talent to boot, she also seems really genuine. And the fact that almost every pic of her on the web shows her on mommy duty also makes me think she’s the kind of person who really puts her family first.

She’s definitely not into fashionable dressing, though she does make a tiny-teeny bit of effort by topping her usual look, which usually includes a longsleeve sweater or shirt plus jeans, with a scarf. Check out Jen and her usual mommy duty “uniform” below:

Definitely not what you’d call interesting, right?

Now among all the “generic” errand outfits, it’s this look she put together right before she delivered her third child (yey! congrats Jen!) that I really like (so far). For one, it’s nice to see her step up a little by using a printed scarf instead of the usual plain. And for another, I love the fact that she chose a bold and daring catty pattern to go with her black sweater. The contrast is gorgeous and it really brightened up her face by a mile:

Using a leopard or cheetah printed accessory is the quickest way to add “oomph” to a boring attire. You can easily tell the difference; I mean, doesn’t she look better with it compared to those other outfits?

I don’t have any information on Jennifer’s printed scarf yet, but do remember to take a cue from her here. Remember that one easy way you can spice up a bland get-up is by topping it with a leopard print scarf. Here are a few affordable choices you can grab from Amazon:
