Do you have anything in your closet that you can add to an outfit to give it instant interest and a pop of color? If you don't, you should. A funky belt, an unusual hat, or a gorgeous scarf, like this Silk Dot-print Scarf will do the trick while looking effortless.

It's available at Banana Republic for $49, and what we love about it is that it's so easy to wear. Drape it casually around your neck under a jacket, as shown here, or tie it loosely to add some punch to a dress.

And, purple is, in our opinion, a highly underrated color. It's dark enough to work elegantly with blacks and grays, but it's bright enough to take an outfit from boring to brilliant. But, if you're not loving the purple, the same design is available in brown, white, and turquoise.
