For this week’s scarf giveaway, we’re doing something a little different. This scarf wasn’t sent to us by a sponsor but instead thrifted (with love!) by S. in Munich, Germany. We would like to show our appreciation for all your support and thoughtful input during our scarf month (and always) by sending one winner a little package with the above vintage scarf from Germany. This little beauty measures 32 inches on all sides, is a large square, and 100% silk.

If you would like to enter the giveaway, leave us a comment telling us what your favorite item to shop vintage is. For a second chance to win, leave a separate comment telling us how you would wear this scarf or what scarf tying technique you might try on it. This giveaway is open until Sunday, Midnight Central time, after which we will randomly select a winner.
