Kim Kardashian Wearing the Tolani Stud Scarf

I found out that the studded scarf is by Tolani and it comes in six (6) beautiful colors – brown, navy, ivory, black/gold, black/silver, and fuchsia. But looking at Kim here makes me just want to get the black and gold one.

Now while surfing at Shopbop.com, I found a scarf that looks exactly like Kim’s Tolani – the Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf.

Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf

The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf comes with distressed gold metal pailletes and mixed-chain fringes, just like Kim’s Tolani Stud Scarf. Both are so identical that it would be hard to tell which is which.

Now, although the two look exactly alike, I found a couple of differences that might help decide which among the two to buy.

Point # 1: The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf is made of 100% viscose jersey while the Tolani Stud Scarf is made of jersey composed of 93% viscose and 7% lycra.

Point # 2: The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf comes with more mixed-chain fringes compared to the Tolani Stud Scarf

Point # 3: The Cecilia de BuCourt Chain Scarf costs US$176, that’s US$68 more expensive than the Tolani Stud Scarf

Point # 4: The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf only comes in one (1) color – black/gold, while the Tolani Stud Scarf comes in six colors as mentioned above.

Given these differences, which do you think should I buy?

Honestly, although the Tolani Stud Scarf is cheaper than the Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf, I think I will go for the Cecilia De BuCourt. Why? Well, I love bling and I like the fact that the Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf has a lot of it. I guess that’s what the additional US$68 is for.

How about you, which would you buy?
