Crew price tag, I was elated. The retail price was $55. Goodwill Keystone Area\u2019s price: $1.97. The pink, olive, and slate blue colors are surprisingly versatile.<\/p>\n<p>I paired it with a green lace sweatshirt from Loft (Goodwill\u2019s price: $4.75; Retail: $59). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"477\" height=\"667\" data-size=\"1829x2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-1097x1536.jpg 1097w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-1463x2048.jpg 1463w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-840x1176.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf2-scaled.jpg 1829w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/> <\/a>The DKNY jeans (Goodwill\u2019s price: $6.50; Retail $69.50) and Sam Edelman \u201cKemper\u201d fringed booties (Goodwill\u2019s price: $12.97; Retail: $150) were also both NWT items, which can be the holy grail of thrifters everywhere! I am an equally-opportunity thrifter, so finding used items and gently washing my finds or taking them to a dry cleaner if needed is never a problem for me. I enjoy a good NWT find, but some of my best finds have been pre-loved!<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I added a faux-fur bag from Carlos by Carlos Santana. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf6-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf6-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"633\" data-size=\"1920x2560\" \/> <\/a>I liked mixing the animal print with the camo for a fun fall look. My cost at Goodwill was $6.97, but this would have sold for around $100.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"665\" data-size=\"1829x2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-1097x1536.jpg 1097w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-1463x2048.jpg 1463w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-840x1176.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Scarf4-scaled.jpg 1829w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a>Hopefully, you\u2019ll give scarves a try, not just as accessories for on top of your coats this fall.
