As we wind down into Christmas holidays, your fingers may be tapping away to take advantage of the ease of mail order shopping- especially since shopping centers are filled to the brim this week.  Perhaps there may be one extra gift to check off the list for mom, your sister, or BFF, and you're thinking, "another year, another perfume...too repetitive". One last shopping tip NUY 40+ can suggest for your favorite gal inspired by Fall/Winter 2018 style trends is a wardrobe piece made from "scarf print". While scarf print is one of the hot prints of the moment, its basic designs are classic enough for ladies of a particular age to wear through years to come,  The traditional scarf print can always be found in the collections of high fashion and couture design houses Chanel, Hermes,  & Versace, but retailers of all price points are offering casually elegant pieces that are perfect for the office, casual daywear, or even at home with the luxurious scarf print pajamas. Check out our quick edit of some of our favorite scarf prints not just of the season, that can carry us all far beyond the coming 2019.  As always, to shop, just click on the product title or retailer's name below each photo.
