We've got a great way to show your spooky Halloween spirit without looking like you went shopping in Spencer's -- how about a bright silk scarf, like this Silk chainlink-print scarf, on sale for $48.30 at Banana Republic?

We love this idea because it can take you from work to a party to a Halloween celebration with your kids. And, of course, we're always fans of looking chic while still looking fun and festive, and this scarf definitely fits the bill.

Be creative -- you can wear it as shown here, or wear it in your hair, or as a belt. You can even tie it in a floppy bow around the strap of your handbag. We find that, the more you play with scarves, the more comfortable you become with them, and before you know it, they become a bit of a signature look!

Intrigued? Right now, all of Banana Republic's scarves are 30 percent off, so now's the time to check it out.
